And here’s another wonderful creation by Vlad Dunaevsky of my bookshelf. Thank you, Vlad!
My book sparks art!
I’m always amazed and delighted that one story often leads to another; one creative spark lights a fire for someone else. A friend of mine recently read my book, Bobbie Rosenfeld: The Olympian Who Could Do Everything (Second Story Press), and added his own “commentary”. Used with permission by Vlad Dunaevsky. Enjoy!
“Bobbie” play at Theatre by the Bay, Barrie (ON)
What a treat it was to go to Barrie and see the play Bobbie, presented by Theatre by the Bay! Trudee Romanek did a superb job writing the play–clear, passionate, well-researched. The actors were skillful and expressive, and Kathy Kacer’s consultant work was detailed and accurate. It brought me great joy to see Bobbie’s achievements (and challenges) come to life! I do hope you’ll have a chance to see the play. It runs until Sunday Sept. 10, 2023. Here’s TBTB’s website for more information: https://theatrebythebay.com/2023
Q&A with Deborah Kalb

Bobbie Rosenfeld for the Friends of the South Grey Museum, Markdale, Ontario
I was delighted to give a presentation about Bobbie Rosenfeld: The Olympian Who Could Do Everything (Second Story Press) on May 17, 2023 in Markdale, Ontario to the Friends of the South Grey Museum. Although this award-winning biography about Canada’s outstanding female athlete was published in 2004, people are still interested in Bobbie’s life and accomplishments. A new play, written by Trudee Romanek, will be presented August 30 to September 10 in Barrie, Ontario. On September 2, after the matinee performance, I’ll be part of a panel discussion including Trudee, Bruce Kidd, and Rochelle Thompson, Bobbie Rosenfeld’s niece.

Thanks to Dave Sweiger of the Friends of the South Grey Museum for this photo, and for Lacy Sciamanna for the lovely display about Bobbie!
