One answer to that question is: me*. I’m thrilled to announce that I will give two presentations this summer about my pioneering bandmaster great-grandfather, G. Oliver Riggs—one in Bemidji and one in Northfield!

In Bemidji, I will be the featured speaker at the Beltrami County Historical Society (BCHS) annual meeting on Saturday, June 18. The event is tentatively set for noon and will include lunch and musical entertainment. Dan Karalus, the society’s executive director, is working out the details, and I am thankful for his enthusiastic support.

Here’s some information about the talk, from the spring 2016 issue of The Depot Express, the BCHS newsletter.

In Northfield, I will speak at the Northfield Historical Society (NHS) during the 2016 Vintage Band Festival (VBF).

Sorry for the bad pun. But I haven’t blogged for quite a while, and I wanted to remind people that I am still here, working away at my book, even when I am not posting regularly on my blog.

If you are my Facebook friend, or if you follow me on Twitter (@RiggsJoy), you might have noticed that I have been posting a lot of latte photos lately, with the #amwriting hashtag. It has been a great way for me to stay accountable as I work toward completing a draft of my book-in-progress.
