| | Native Storyteller/Lecturer: Larry Plamondon - 11.10.2009 | Location: Student Center, Kiva Room
Time: 7:00 pm
| Description: | "A native son of Traverse City, Pun was on the FBI’s “10 Most Wanted” list, living on the run in Algiers and the American underground on charges of bombing a CIA office in Ann Arbor. Today, Plamondon’s outlaw days are far away over the hills of time, but they still glow with the vibrancy of a master storyteller in his new book, “Lost from the Ottawa -- the Story of the Journey Back.” The lost hippie enclave of Plum Street still shimmers in his pages, as do images of the Motor City burning in the ‘67 riot and life on the run. Indeed, after a life of misadventure, that’s just what Plamondon, 59, has become: an Ottawa elder and storyteller reunited with his lost heritage. It’s the summation of a resume that has included stints as a juvenile delinquent, drifter, farm labor organizer, hippie sandal maker, revolutionary, fugitive, alcoholic, and rock & roll bodyguard". ---The Northern Express Weekly
