Gail Lukaisk:

What They Never Told Us

Gail Lukasik is the author of What They Never Told US: True Stories of Family Secrets and Hidden Identities Revealed.



Gail will discuss how each story delves into the devastating psychological trauma of uncovering a hidden family secret with all the twists and turns of a mystery novel, starting with how the discovery was made; to why it was kept secret; to the arduous, sometimes disappointing, quest to find a biological parent or parents.

Gail Lukasik is a freelance writer, editor, college lecturer, and the author of the bestselling book White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing, which the Washington Post named "One of the Most Inspiring Stories of 2017." Gail has appeared on PBS's Genealogy Roadshow, BBC World News, and NBC's Megyn Kelly Today.

Gary Zelinksi :

A Walk Among Heroes

Gary B. Zelinski will discuss his book, A WALK AMONG HEROES: Searching for America’s Better Angels. Zelinski sheds light on how this hallowed ground and those buried there—privates beside colonels, surgeons and nurses bedside the troops they tried to save, the descendants of slaves beside Confederate soldiers, and wives, sons, and daughters beside loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice—serves as a lens into what is good in our country.



Gary Zelinski is retired from the United States Air Force after twenty-two years of distinguished service.  He is currently working on a memoir dedicated to his wife, Lillian. She stole his heart when they met as teens, raised their two children, and rose through the ranks to become a vice president for a Fortune 500 tech company.
