Annie Blum has lived close to the Mississippi River all her life and worked on the steamer Admiral for sixteen summers. In the meantime, she earned a bachelor’s degree from Fontbonne University, taught high school, and married a steamboat captain. In 2017 Annie’s book, The Steamer Admiral was published.
We are excited to welcome Annie Blum as our guest speaker for our final Lunch & Learn of the autumn series. Annie will give us a detailed history of the SS Admiral along with her shared experiences with the company and on the boat. Copies of her book will be available for purchase at $15. Sure to be a fun trip down memory lane full of many interesting facts!
We’ll gather at 11:30 am in Memorial Hall of Southwest Baptist Church (6401 Scanlan). Lunch will be provided.
