Recently I helped co-author an article about the 1918 Influenza pandemic for "New Jersey Studies" Summer 2022 edition. I am available to speak on the subject - in fact I have a presentation on Nov. 9. If you are interested in attending, or scheduling your own presentation (for either a group of adults or children), please contact me here. Many thanks!
