"Meet-the-Author" Event is Set for June 24 at Library

The Stratford Library will host Stratford author John Sobolewski, Jr. for a special "Meet-the-Author" program. Sobolewski will discuss his new book, Hallamore: A True Story, which examines the largest crane, rigging and heavy hauling company in New England and its relation to Stratford. The talk is free and open to the public.

Truck driver John Sobolewski Jr. and his sixteen-year adventure with the Hallamore Motor Transportation Company is his story about the flatbed and heavy haul division of trucking and about the load after load of all the machinery that came out of the factories that started closing in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Sobolewski's story is also about all the factories in Stratford and Bridgeport as he transported over 2,000 over-sized loads across the country without a chargeable accident or any speeding tickets.

"Meet-the-Author: John Sobolewski, Jr. will be held in the Stratford Library Lovell Room. Autographed copies of Sobolewski's book will be available for purchase following his talk.
