Wolf to Woof! An Exhibition

Gina Gould, President and Ray LeGere, Co-Chair Board of Directors

            Wolf to Woof: The Story of Dogs sniffs out the facts on dogs and explores what makes our relationship so unique.

The exhibition has four themed sections and includes multi-media displays, artifacts, photo murals, and dioramas of taxidermied wild canines and sculpted modern dog breeds. Additionally, interactive, hands-on components demonstrate key concepts – like howling areas, dog nose sniff test, and dog search-and-rescue scenarios.

SECTIONS:

• A little wolf in every dog
• Dogs have skills to help us
• What can we (humans) do to help dogs?

Segment FIVE

What Love Becomes

Jan Tramontano, Author

            What Love Becomes is a work of literary fiction that traces the intimate landscape of two contemporary marriages from their idealistic, yet misguided beginnings. Each couple mistakenly believe their happily ever after will come without really knowing who’ve they’ve married. What begins as self-deception quickly morphs into deception on a larger scale. Over time, their wounds come to define them—a marine, chronically ill from pills he took in the Persian Gulf War to protect him from Sarin gas, a ballet dancer whose ambitions are crushed by a single encounter, a woman desperate to have a baby, a man whose wife barely tolerates him and can’t bring herself to love their child. Long simmering tensions ultimately explode and the couples’ lives intertwine as the novel weaves through past and present. At its heart, this story is about the choices we make, how they shape our lives, and how our innate resilience propels us toward reclaiming the lost parts of ourselves.

            “Jan Marin Tramontano has given us a novel of love and disenchantment, of dashed dreams and sustained hope as the lives of married professionals collide. Sexy, unflinching, pin-point accurate in its portrayal of parenting, WHAT LOVE BECOMES is an exhilarating work. With her nimble prose, her lyrical word-work, her compassion
and her vision, this novelist creates a world in which I believe and characters about whom I care. Read this book.”     –James Robison, The Illustrator, Rumor and Other Stories,
