Author Talk & Book Signing

Fayetteville Technical Community College is pleased to host J. Rich Leonard, Dean of the Campbell University Law School, for a talk about his memoir “From Welcome to Windhoek: A Judge’s Journey.” Leonard will speak at 1:30pm in Cumberland Hall Auditorium. A book signing will follow. The event is free and open to the public. Copies of Leonard’s book are available for purchase at City Center Gallery & Books in downtown Fayetteville and online.

The book is described as follows: “This is the remarkable story of how a boy from rural Welcome, North Carolina, grew up to become an innovative judge, global citizen, and go-to guy for court-building in emerging African nations. Along the way, he organizes the first-ever judicial conference in Tanzania, jogs with children in Lusaka, dances with a python, and has adventures ranging from the harrowing to the hilarious. In the end, he discovers the distance between Welcome and Windhoek is not as great as he imagined, and that both places now occupy adjoining spaces in his heart.”
