The featured speaker will be author Ruth Campbell Williams, who co-authored the book Younger Than That Now: A Shared Passage From the Sixties. Described as a "rueful, sometimes funny look back at the dreams and excesses of the '60s counterculture" by Publisher's Weekly, the book, which was co-written by Jeff Durstewitz, follows the lives of two young people from the 1960s who wrote letters to each other in 1969. The book continues to follow their lives into the year 1999. Those interested in taking a look at a preview of the book before the lecture can log on to http:// www.youngerthanthatnow.com.
Williams graduated from the University of Tennessee with a B.F.A. in oil painting in 1973. She now lives in Flora, Miss.
Cordell was the director of ABAC's continuing education program for 39 years. He retired in 1979. Cordell passed away in 1991.
