Author Leonard Rogoff speaks in the Gertrude Weil auditorium at the Wayne County Public Library on Tuesday evening. Rogoff's book "Gertrude Weil: Jewish Progressive in the New South," paints a vivid picture of the indomitable Miss Weil, who was one of Goldsboro's most famous residents. Miss Weil spent her life working for many social causes such as women's suffrage, economic improvements for the poor, a Jewish state in Israel and civil rights. She died in 1971 at the age of 91.
