Author Rob Freedman, surfing at Cape Meares.
Cape Meares resident (and Oregon Shores member) Robert “Butch” Freedman will be reading from his new book, Beach Bum: A Life in Pieces, Oct. 7, 2 pm at the Cape Meares Community Center, 5690 4th St NW. The memoir is a series of connected personal essays, both humorous and deadly serious. Freedman traces his attempts to live a meaningful life, writing about issues ranging from his rejection and later embrace of Judaism, to dealing with hepatitis C, to a return to surfing at the age of 70.
Fifty percent of book sales at the reading will go to the Newport Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. For more information, contact steinbeverly@gmail.com.
