A last-minute change of venue from the Decatur square to Kavarna coffee house in Oakhurst didn’t dampen the spirits of those who came out to remember late author Gabriel Garcia Marquez at Sunday afternoon’s “100 Readers of Solitude.” It was a standing room only crowd for the event organized by author Charles McNair.
