SUMMARY:Boxcar Diplomacy  presented by the Historic Reno Preservation Society
DESCRIPTION:Join author and historian Jane Sweetland as she discusses her 
 book Boxcar Diplomacy: Two Trains that Crossed an Ocean. The story begins 
 after World War II as the Cold War was beginning. With so much devastation 
 in Europe\, there wasn’t enough food\, so governments\, churches\, and 
 charitable organizations attempted to fill the gap. Boxcar diplomacy began 
 as a simple idea and grew to encompass the generosity and imagination of 
 the nation.\n\nSweetland has had a long career in education\, teaching 
 history and English before becoming a dean and associate vice president at 
 California State University. She has degrees in English\, history\, 
 counseling\, and education. Since leaving her job at CSU\, she has written 
 two books about World War II. She lives at Lake Tahoe\, where her 
 grandfather bought property in the 1920s from Henry Yerington\, who was 
 “selling the property cheap because they couldn’t run cattle on 
 it.”\n\nThis event is part of the Historic Reno Preservation Society’s 
 second Sunday speaker series\, a monthly series of presentations on 
 subjects of local historical interest. Registration is required.\n\n
