North Royalton Branch

Large Meeting Room 121 & 122 (126)

Discover the story behind one of America's most infamous turncoats.

How could Colonial America’s most renowned battlefield general become the most despised man in America? Here is the sad tale of an ex-patriot who sought honor and glory but received the opposite. 

Presenter Carl Quatraro has spent his whole life in the Akron area. He graduated from Walsh Jesuit High School and The University of Akron and lives in Fairlawn. Carl retired in 2018 and now stays involved in his community by delivering entertaining and informative presentations to local libraries, senior and professional associations and retirement centers.
