One of 6 upcoming events at Lombard Historical Society.
What was it like to grow up sharing a backyard with the man who would become known as the Unabomber? Join us for a special virtual program with Jamie Gehring, a Montana native who grew up next door to Ted Kaczynski and is the author of Madman in the Woods: Life Next Door to the Unabomber. Gehring was also featured in Netflix’s Unabomber—In His Own Words, where she discussed her family’s role in Kaczynski’s capture. A Firsthand Look at Life Next Door Join Jamie for an in-depth look at what it was like living next to the longest-running domestic terrorist in United States history. She will share her unique perspective on a serial killer through the eyes of a child, what it was like to find that this neighbor of 25 years was, in fact, the Unabomber, and the five years of research involved in writing her book.
