(MURFREESBORO) The Rutherford County Historical Society's MONTHLY MEETING will be at 7:00PM Monday evening, January 15, 2024, in Maney Hall at Oaklands Mansion (900 N. Maney Ave., Murfreesboro). Native author Rick Glaze leads a discussion of his nostalgia-tinged story of Ralph (a dog who fancies himself “in charge of security” for his home) and Murray (a cat convinced that rubbing his tail can cure warts). The two unlikely friends in late 1950s Murfreesboro realize over time that they can "speak" to each other and the other animals in their neighborhood through a sort of whispering telepathy.
The story follows Ralph and Murray's adventures together, their lives with their human families, and the love for their people of this picturesque small town, which informs their choices and decisions as they make their way through the era of Elvis, TV westerns, Tennessee Williams, and RC Cola.
The event is free and open to the public. Copies of the books will be available: paperback $14.95; e-book $4.95.
