SUMMARY:Boston reception with author Jill Hunting '72
DESCRIPTION:The Story Behind the Story of 
Finding Pete:
Rediscovering the Brother I Lost in Vietnam

Five years ago, Jill Hunting '72 discovered 175 long-lost letters written by her brother, a volunteer in Vietnam and one of the first civilian casualties of the war there.  Pete's violent death in 1965 was widely reported-including Walter Cronkite's announcement on the CBS Evening News-as a betrayal by friends.  Because Jill's parents didn't discuss what had happened, the mystery haunted her for years.  The unexpected recovery of the letters her mother had withheld became the focus of an article for the Washington Post Magazine and a memoir just published by Wesleyan University Press.  Jill will share with us the story behind what has been called an "eloquent and unforgettable book."
