Iowa-based authors dish on latest books at Dumont library

The Dumont Community Library last Friday played home to history and a little humor.

Iowa-based authors Gail Kittleson and Lyn Vandebrake visited the library to sign and chat about their newest works.

Kittleson spoke about Dorothy Woebbeking, one of the subjects of her book “Un-til Then,” which spotlights the harrowing stories of nurs-es in World War II. Woebbeking, a Waterloo, Iowa native, was a nurse with the Eleventh Evacuation Hos-pital. Her service took her to five countries during the war, including stops at the Battle of Anzio in Italy and the Bat-tle of the Bulge.
