Robert Klose is an Orono-based writer who teaches at the University of Maine. He presented “A Tale of Two Adoptions” on Thursday, April 24 at 6 p.m. in which he focused on his two memoirs, stemming from his adopting boys from Russia and Ukraine as a single man. “I have put together a book talk centering on these adoptions. I think it makes for a timely presentation, given the drama playing out in the Russo-Ukrainian war. Despite the carnage, I like to tell my audiences that I have sons from Russia and Ukraine, and they get along, so there is hope,” says Robert.

Nancy is a past president of the Maine Genealogical Society, author of the Family Discoverer column in the Piscataquis Observer, and an experienced genealogist.
