A Place Called Canterbury: A Book Reading by Dudley Clendinen

Thanks to advances in diet, medication, and health care, Americans who grew up during the Depression and fought in World War II — known as the Greatest Generation — are outliving all of their predecessors. They have become part of an unprecedented demographic phenomenon that former New York Times writer Dudley Clendinen chronicles in his deeply moving and often hilarious new book, A Place Called Canterbury: Tales of the New Old Age in America. Free and open to the public. PHOTO ID REQUIRED.
