The celebration will feature many historical photos of

Earl is still as spry and fit as ever, and will
certainly enjoy seeing his friends once again.

 

This year Earl’s collection of photos will include WWII
photos from his service in the Navy, featuring his tours of the Island of
Okinawa, Japan taken with Admiral Rickover.  These photos are a stunning
journalistic record of the Island immediately following the US invasion.

Checks should be made payable to Friends of JBML

 

 

Hope to see you there, and bring lots of friends.

Doug Colter and family
