More than 60 people gathered at the home of Dave Ham and Betty Duncan on Park Avenue Saturday to enjoy the works and stories of two famous authors -- and to support literacy efforts in their community.

Proceeds from the benefit will be used for Literacy Connections, an organization that offers literacy education for adults in Wayne County.
