“Along the Way…The Stories I Leave With You”

Along the way, Willy reflects on pivotal moments and vivid stories—the riddle of the three babies, his parents’ “time of terror” in their hometown, the adventure of emigrating to Canada by ship, the unexpected advantages of a foreign accent, and more. The result is a series of intimate snapshots, capturing moments as they unfold, told with spontaneity, clarity, and unassuming charm.

The presentation will be given by Konrad Eisenbichler, series editor and Willy’s brother; Sheree Wilson, book editor and Willy’s widow; and Alexandra Eisenbichler, author of the introduction and Willy’s daughter.

The evening will also feature a Q&A, with book copies available for purchase while supplies last.
