An Evening of American Travel with Lori Hein June 6, 2007

“A journey through the heart and soul of America” 

Travel through the words and images with local author Lori Hein as she presented An Evening of American Travel. Lori will read from her book. Ribbons of Highway: A mother Child Journey across America and show slides from the 12,000 mile back road odyssey that the globetrotting writer took with her two children after September 11. Lori's work has appeared in regional, national, international and online publications, including the Boston Globe and Philadelphia Inquirer. A marathoner, she does some of her best writing while running. Hard-wired with wanderlust, Lori’s visited some 60 countries, and her travels inspire and inform much of her published freelance work in addition to her book. Her many travel photo credits include the cover of a national magazine. A magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Tufts University, Lori also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and holds an MBA. She spent 20 years in the corporate world as a sales, marketing and organizational development executive for a major New England health care company.

Lori signed copies of Ribbons of Highway and donated an amount per copy to the Women at Work Museum.
