McMenamins History, Deschutes Historical Museum and Oregon Historical Society present…
Old St. Francis History Pub
Presented by local historian and author Les Joslin

Les Joslin looks forward to talking with attendees about writing about “some of the unique individuals and groups, past and present, who have made a memorable impact on” Bend throughout its history for Arcadia Publishing’s new title Legendary Locals of Bend — some of whom or whose stories you know, some of whom will surprise you, and all of whom you should find fascinating.

A retired U.S. Navy commander, Joslin moved to Bend in 1988 where he has taught at Central Oregon Community College and for Oregon State University, served with the U.S. Forest Service and pursued his interest in writing to produce several titles of local interest.
