William and Sue Wills will be celebrating 15 years of touring with “Presidents and Their First Ladies, dramatically speaking” with their presentation on the lives of Harry and Bess Truman on April 29, 2011 at 11 a.m. This presentation and the luncheon following it are sponsored by the Friends of the Washington Twp. Public Library.
This is one of the great love stories in Presidential history, as from the age of six Harry loved only one person - Bess. Harry's string of early business failures certainly could not have foretold his rise to the Presidency. In the background working as a loving partner all along the way was "The Boss", Bess.
Humor, rocky times, human frailties, and enduring affection combine to make this an endearing tale. Truman was the President who had to make the momentous decision of dropping the first atomic bomb, a decision that hastened the end of World War II. This was one of many major decisions that, guided by the motto “The Buck Stops Here”, Truman made and got things done.
