Memoir group a t the Main Library has been facilitated by Helen Rubin since July 2022\, w hen the group returned to in-person meetings.

\n

Helen is a British t rained elementary school teacher\, she later educated her two sons at home \, and now supports her three home educated grandchildren. Her passion is the early care of babies and young children\, following the work of two sp ecial Hungarian ladies: Emmi Pikler MD\, and Magda Gerber (Magda brought P ikler&rsquo\;s ideas to the US.) Books\, reading\, and writing\, have play ed a big part in Helen&rsquo\;s life\; moreso since leaving school.

\n< p>Helen has discovered a full and varied life as an immigrant to the US\, starting with compiling and publishing the first US Edition of the UK&rsqu o\;s well known Reed&rsquo\;s Nautical Almanac with her late husband\, Mar tin\, in 1973-1974. The twists and turns of life compelled Helen to docume nt the various facets of her early life in England\, plus her years in the US. Several books are in the works!

\n

All are welcome in Memoir Gro up - there is no limit to who may attend.
