The play is based on letters and background information he found in the basement of his grandfathers home. Mr. Dewane was surprised to find that his grandfather was a hero and help liberate his family's home town and country of Czechoslovakia.
The people at the performance stated that he played his part of narrator wonderfully and he really transformed himself by just putting glasses on and becoming his gruff, chain smoking, opinionated grandfather. At times Mr. Dewane graphic descriptions of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge made people wince. Everyone present thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
Kasson Public Library partnered with Prairie Meadows Senior Living in Kasson and this was the second of many activities planned for KM residents. The performances are free to the public and is part of the Minnesota's Legacy Grant that Minnesota libraries received last fall from the Minnesota taxpayers through the Clean Water Act.
The next performance from the Kasson Library and Prairie Meadows partnership will have Jazz Singer Christine Rosholt singing jazz from the 40's & 50"s on Sunday, November 14 at 2pm at Prairie Meadows Senior Living in Kasson.
