6:30 p.m. – Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic Church, Sister Lakes, book/movie discussion is on "Anatomy of a Murder" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the book written by Robert Traver (aka John Voelker) about an Upper Peninsula murder trial. A movie of the book was made in 1959 starring James Stewart, Ben Gazzara, Lee Remick and George C. Scott. Both the book and movie won numerous awards and were bestsellers. Come prepared to discuss the book and/or movie and the UP location and characters. Recent photos of the murder and movie locations will be compared to the film images. Next program: Wednesday, Dec. 10, 6:30 p.m., coffee table books. Bring one or more examples of coffee table books you enjoy having around your house. If you have extra coffee table books you don't want anymore, put them in a "white elephant" sale to raise funds for needy families of the parish. Book-movie discussions are sponsored by the Adult Social Committee at Sacred Heart. For more information, contact Charlotte or Howard Poole at 424-3221 or via e-mail at Poole@wmich.edu.
