Other Events and Notes of Interest
PEANUT BUTTER CLUB: Presents the video "Public Enemy #1" on Friday, May 16, at noon in Redfield Auditorium. I n the early 1930s, America was thrilled and terrorized by John Dillinger, a desperado, a bank robber, a bad man no jail could hold. His reputation grew until he was named the country's first Public Enemy #1, hunted by virtually every cop in America. Operating during a time of great hardship, Dillinger became a mythic figure who fought authority and won the hearts of many ordinary Americans, particularly those hardest hit by the Great Depression. Sponsored by the WHOI Information Office. Coffee, tea and cookies served. Donations accepted.
