An Evening with Liane Brandon: Award Winning Filmmaker & Former Quincy Teacher
An Evening with Liane Brandon: Award Winning Filmmaker & Former Quincy Teacher
When Liane Brandon, as a young teacher at Quincy Public Schools, agreed to help her North Quincy High students make a movie, she didn’t know that it would change the course of her career – and media education nationwide – forever. On Thursday, April 24th, at 7pm, we are delighted to welcome Brandon back to Quincy for a special screening of three short films, a reunion, and a freewheeling discussion about Quincy in the 1960s.

A History of Boston
A History of Boston
Far from being your standard Boston history, Dain’s book explores the whys of Boston – why it was founded on a small hilly peninsula, why it has been at the center of America’s intellectual movements for centuries, why the city has gone through the transformations that it has, why Boston is the “Hub of the Universe.” His book also takes a “holistic” approach to Boston history, incorporating the ways in which Boston has influenced its satellite communities (some as far away as Quebec), and vice versa. In the lead-up to Quincy’s 400th anniversary celebrations, understanding the history of Quincy’s big sister across the Neponset is a great foundation for understanding Quincy’s own history. This event is open to all and free to attend. A book signing will follow the program. Daniel Dain is the founder and president of the law firm Dain Torpy, where he chairs the firm’s real estate litigation practice. He writes and lectures widely on land-use law and urban planning.
