The response to Gerda Weissmann Klein's visit to Laredo was phenomenal!
"I've never seen such a reaction in fifty years of speaking." - Ms. Klein
Food was stacked on and all around a table from people who brought cans so they could get in. People were dying to get her autograph, or just a glimpse of Ms. Klein.
We had about 1900 people attend her speech at the Laredo Civic Center. All day Thursday, we had people calling us and asking us how to get a ticket.
This was a better response than we had ever hoped! The first year of One City, One Book was a definite success.
Pictures up soon.
