A Notable Book

This is a must for the coffee table for any one living in or having a connection to Wheaton. No matter what your background, interest, or age, you will find someone in this book to catch your interest. Scientists, athletes, authors, explorers, etc. etc. Mary Anne Phemister, the author, gives a concise and compelling biographical sketch of each notable. Her biographies are informative and seem to capture the 'spirit' of each of the historical figures. From two centuries ago to modern-day figures, she brings the characters to life. This book covers many interesting people and stories, wide and diverse, and yet they all share a common thread. They all lived in Wheaton! Her research is excellent, she includes details, photos and addresses not available anywhere else. This book will start a new tradition in Wheaton, when a guest comes to visit, you calculate which Wheaton Notable would interest them the most, then on the way home from the airport, simply say... "You'll never guess who grew up in that house..."
