Sun 9/30  2pm-3pm Stella Suberman discusses her memoir The GI Bill Boys In her warm and witty new memoir, Stella Suberman charms readers with her personal perspective as she recalls the original 1940s GI Bill.  As she writes of the bill and the epic events that spawned it, she manages, in her crisp way, to personalize and humanizes them in order to entertain and to educate.  Although her story is in essence that of two Jewish families, it echoes the story of thousands of Americans of that period.   Stella Suberman is the author of two popular and well-reviewed titles: The Jew Store and When It Was Our War.  In its starred review, Booklist called The Jew Store “an absolute pleasure,” and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote that it was “valuable history as well as a moving story.” Mrs. Suberman lives with her husband, Jack, in Chapel Hill.
