LUNCHBOX LECTURE TO FEATURE MR. BILL O’NEAL

The M.P. Baker Library, in cooperation with Mr. Bill O’Neal, will present a lunchbox lecture on October 3, 2006.

He is a member of the Western Writers of America and has appeared in TV documentaries on TNN, The History Channel, the BBC, the Discovery Channel, TBS and A & E. O’Neal enjoys sharing his favorite subjects with various audiences, speaking frequently to historical groups.
