Shirley-Chaddick will discuss her recent book, “A Matter of Honor,” a tale of lost romance that blends the past and the pres- ent to tell the story of a World War II veteran’s search for his first love and his return to the European continent to pay hom- age to the fallen heroes of the lib- eration of Europe. This program will appeal to romantics and historians alike. Story Time at the Museum is free and open to the public. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will host it’s next boating safety class, “Suddenly in Command,” from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Port of Siuslaw office, 100 Harbor St., in Old Town Florence. “Suddenly in Command” is a free, three-hour class offered to assist boat occupants who are not normally at the helm (including spouses, children or others aboard) who may find themselves suddenly in command if the oper- ator becomes ill, gets injured, falls overboard or has to attend to some other emergency and is unable to operate the vessel. Seating is limited for the class and preregistration is required. To register, contact Jonathan Yoder, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, at 541-991-1181.
