Retired Congressman and judge, John J. Duncan Jr., will sign copies of his new book this Thursday at the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum on Lincoln Memorial University’s (LMU) campus. Duncan served as a criminal defense lawyer and judge before being elected to represent the state’s 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1988. He retired at the end of his 16th term in January 2019. Duncan’s new book, “From Batboy to Congressman: Thirty Years in the U.S. House,” tells stories from his family, early life and time as lawyer, judge and Congressman. Duncan will recount some of his favorite stories at 5 p.m. EST and will be available for a book signing and meet and greet from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. EST. LMU has more on the event.
