A Gift of Dreams is a coming-of-age tale set in the Essex young Bob Benjamin knew in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. It serves not only as a recounting of his experiences but also as a tribute to Essex and the way of life it exemplifies.
Mr. Benjamin has been through several totally different careers and is currently an author, artist and model airplane designer and builder, now focusing on original designs or gas-to-electric conversions of popular kits. In 2006 he was inducted into the Model Airplane Hall of Fame.
At present he is researching for his latest book, an historical novel set in Essex while it was still known as Chebacco Parish. The story centers around the town’s shipbuilding traditions as focused through the lens of the social-political-economic issues around the time of the War of 1812.
Please join us to help with the setting of his new book and to reminisce with
Mr. Benjamin in the Waterline Center of the Essex Shipbuilding Museum at 7:30 p. m. on Tuesday, June 12. Admission is $8 for members, $10 for nonmembers.
