Happy 100th Birthday Gertrude Kuhnle, born July 30, 1922, in Turlock, California. Gertrude had a career as a Librarian, then was a library volunteer at the COA Senior Citizens Center in New London, NH. She was a lifelong school and hospital volunteer. Currently she resides at Pine Rock Manor in Warner where she is enjoying her retirement.
An extreme lightning storm on Tuesday July 12 caused trees to fall, and phone and/or internet damage at homes, the library, and many businesses on Main Street in Warner and elsewhere. A shout out to our local heroes who worked hard to restore services and order, including the DPW, Dan Watts, and TDS technicians Jacen B. and Dan Fifield.

Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish--to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she'll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her. She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age--her tyrannical father has made that much clear. And as Nannerl's hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer.
