'Honoring a Veteran' talk planned at library

VERNON — Now through June 16, a collection of recovered World War II fighter plane parts, memorabilia, and photographs is on display at the Sussex County Library System’s Dorothy Henry Branch located at 66 Route 94 in McAfee.
As a prelude to Memorial Day, this Saturday, May 12 at 2 p.m. Vernon resident Chris Wyman will offer a special presentation entitled “Honoring a Veteran” at the library. It will tell the story of how the plane parts, including a badly-burned wristwatch, were recovered from the crash site in France where his father’s brother, Lt. Burt C. Wyman, was killed at age 21 following a combat mission over Belgium on Jan. 29, 1944.
Area veterans’ groups and civic organizations are especially encouraged to attend.
