She moved her business to Indianapolis 100 years ago in 1910.
Ms. Bundles is an accomplished journalist, former ABC News executive and an Emmy Award-winning producer. She will discuss her great great grandmother’s life and work in Indianapolis and discuss her experience recapturing that history and writing the book.
The event will begin with a reception at 5:30 pm in the Campus Center fourth floor pre-function lounge and then Ms. Bundles will speak at 6:00 p.m. in room 450. A book signing courtesy of Barnes & Noble will follow.
