Bill Thorness – Greenwood Senior Center – October 21, 2025
Author Thorness was promoting his book, “All Roads Lead to Rome”, in which he visits Italy to retrace his father’s steps during World War 2. It alternately recounts his father’s war experiences during a campaign on the Italian peninsula (his unit did not actually advance as far as Rome), and modern day impressions travelling along the same route, as far as an entrance to the eternal city. Although Thorness had book in hand, he hardly read at all, as he instead described experiences and impressions while narrating the slide show.
