Sold Out Lunch and Learn: Tales from the InnSide

11/13/2019

2 Comments

 
A sold out crowd enjoyed Stengal's Catering before Local author and historian Fred Compton took the podeum at our November 2019 Lunch and Learn.

Remember that time the SWAT team raided the Golden Lamb? Fred Compton remembers. 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of local author Fred Compton’s book 
The Golden Lamb: Tales From The Innside.  To mark the occasion, Fred returns to The Warren County Historical Society to share some of the stories that didn’t make it into the first book for various reasons. Find out what it takes to get rid of a dead body in a dining room and what happens when the local SWAT team decides to storm the third floor. Hear about a future political leader who just needed some serious direction, a particularly memorable late-night telephone call and how a big piece of “Ohio’s Oldest Inn” gained new life several blocks away.

Fred Compton spent the more than half his life at The Golden Lamb in a number of different roles. Starting in 1966 as a busboy Fred worked there throughout high school and college, graduating from Miami University in 1973 with a journalism degree.  After graduation he continued at The Golden Lamb for what he thought would be a summer job.
​
​He wound up staying 35 years.

You can see upcoming Lunch and Learn topics, as well as purchase tickets, under our "events" page.

Unfortunitly, it's out of print. We did find a listing on Amazon for used copies. You could also try local second-hand bookstores.
