Local author and retired University of New Mexico professor John Kessell will recount his 1958 ocean liner trip from San Francisco to Sydney and his adventures beyond from 6 to 7 p.m. Aug. 14 at Durango Public Library, 1900 East Third Ave.
Having graduated without distinction in 1958 from Fresno State College, 22-year-old Kessell had no job interviews lined up, no letters of acceptance from grad schools, so the natural course seemed what’s called these days a “gap year.”
