Lecture and Discussion about President Johnson

The Lecturer Bill Pemberton grew up in
southern Oklahoma and received his B.A. at the
University of Oklahoma, followed by his M.A. and Ph.D. in history at the University of Missouri.  He began teaching at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse in 1966 and retired from there in 1998.  He taught world history and recent American history, with a speciality in the modern presidency.  He had four books published: Bureaucratic Politics: Executive Reorganization during the Truman Administration; Harry S. Truman: Fair Dealer and Cold Warrior; Exit with Honor: The Life and Presidency of Ronald Reagan; and George Bush, a biography for middle school students.  He wrote over seventy articles, mainly on recent U.S. history and on literature.  Bill and his wife, Marty, moved to Canada Cove from Wisconsin to be near their son and daughter-in-law, who live in San Gregorio.
