Homecoming Tour planned for Pee Up A Tree author Jim Henson

Jim Henson will take his book Pee Up A Tree: A Mental Health Memoir to Southern Oregon with stops in Medford, Ashland and Roseburg. He begins April 27 at Ashland's Bloomsbury Books bookstore and 290 E. Main St.. He will meet fans and autograph his book from 7 until 8 p.m. there. So if you live in the Ashland area don't miss this opportunity.

The next day, April 28, he motors up to Medford and that night visits a bookclub. Members of the club have been reading Pee Up a Tree and are ready for a lively discussion based on the questions posted on this blog plus many of their on observations. It should be a fun evening for Jim in his home town.

On April 29th he journeys to Roseburg for a 4 to 6 book talk at the While-Away-Bookstore at 932 W. Harvard Ave. After that event he re-unites with several of his former colleagues and families that he worked at in the clinic all those years ago in the Umpqua Valley where Pee Up a Tree is set.

I guess this tour should be called a Homecoming tour.
Jim's good friend Marthanne Dedrick posted five photos of places that Jim mentions in his book Pee Up a Tree. I'm running the photos here with her captions
