Sun Staff ReportsA launch party celebrating the

new novel, Veronika Layne Gets the Scoop, which takes place in a fictional version of Alameda, is set for Friday, Jan. 9, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Alameda Museum.

The book is based on an old photo from the Alameda Museum showing a research party digging up a Native American shell mound in Alameda. It features Veronika Layne, a sassy tattooed newspa-per reporter, who stumbles upon a big story — and has to beat deadlines as well as real estate developers before they destroy native burial grounds, all while mismanaging her love life.

The launch party will feature a reading from the novel and a talk by historian Dennis Evanosky about the role of early Alamedan settlers on our shell mound. The event is free and open to all ages. Champagne and cake will be served.

The museum is located at 2324 Alameda Ave. To find out more about events at Alameda Museum, visit www.alameda museum.org

Park Tracey is known in Alameda as the founding editor of the Alameda Sun newspaper, as a frequent contributor to Alameda

Local Author Book Launch Set

Magazine and other local and national publications, and as the author of several books, includ-ing the award-winning The Doris Diaries series. She is Alameda’s Poet Laureate.

Find out more about Park Tracey on Facebook at Alameda Poet Laureate, at www.juliapark-tracey.com or on Twitter@juliaparktracey.

Alameda is featured in a new novel by the city’s Poet Laureate, Julia Park Tracey, titled Veronika Layne Gets The Scoop.

George “Frank” Robert Musso was born in Alameda on Aug. 9, 1926, to George and Jean Musso. He attended Versailles and Lincoln schools. He gradu-ated from Alameda High School in 1944, at which time he enlisted in the Navy.He served at the Alameda Naval Air Station and on an aviation supply ship in the Pacific.

Following his release from active duty, Frank attended San Francisco State College where he received his bachelor’s degree with an earth sci-ence major. In 1950 he was recalled to active duty and assigned to a fighter squadron on the aircraft carrier USS Princeton, serving in North Korean waters.

Upon his second release from service Frank was employed as a hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey, and built river gauging sta-tions and made river runoff mea-surements between Salinas and the Oregon border. His experience taming nature led him to an inter-est in planning, and he became a planner for Northern California counties.

From there, he embarked upon 17 years as the planning director of Livermore, where he was respon-sible for drafting the city’s original

general plan. Lastly he was employed as the planning director and city manager of Saint Helena.
