​​Forget-Me-Nots Chapter #620 of Nebraska Questers Present:

​
​"The Amazing Library of Thomas Jefferson Fitzpatrick"
by Jim McKee
 

10:00 – 11:00 am
Friday, October 23, 2020
Field Club Country Club of Omaha, Nebraska
 

Jim McKee will tell the amazing story of the ultimate book collector, Thomas Jefferson Fitzpatrick.  Fitzpatrick, a longtime resident of Bethany, was a bibliomaniac.  This college professor began with a solid collection of rare books inherited from his illustrious namesake.  A lifetime of collecting later, he was living entirely in the kitchen of his house while the rest of the property was packed floor to ceiling and wall-to-wall with books.  Only after his death in 1952 was the full extent of his obsession uncovered.


This event is free and open to the public.
