Join the Chester County Library Trust for an engaging evening with Ed Auble, a local expert on General Pasquale di Paoli. As we continue celebrating our nation’s 250th anniversary, Ed will explore how Paoli authored a democratic constitution in 1755—years before America’s Declaration of Independence—and how his ideas helped shape early American thinking.
Auble brings a global perspective to this history. He has lived in multiple countries and visited nearly 70 throughout his lifetime. His travels include Corsica, Paoli’s birthplace, where he developed a personal connection to the island and its legacy. In 2025, he spoke at the celebration of General Paoli’s 300th birthday in Morosaglia, where Paoli’s ancestral home now serves as a museum and a small chapel on the grounds houses his remains.
A Chester County resident, Auble has served on numerous community boards and committees. A retired finance professional, he has taught at Immaculata University, is a graduate of Lafayette College, and holds a master’s degree in International Management. He served in the U.S. Navy, flew carrier‑based combat missions during the Vietnam War, and retired from the Naval Reserves in 1981 as a lieutenant commander.
The program will be held on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, from 6:30–7:30 PM in the Struble Room at Chester County Library in Exton. Please register at https://bit.ly/4vTIjUY.
