[Michlib-l] Larry Martin World War II "In Their Own Words"

[Battles, Calvin]

Hello fellow Michiganders,


Over the past 12 years, the Jackson District Library has hosted Larry Martin's In Their Own Words at our Carnegie Branch.  If you have never seen this program, [ http://lmww2.com/ | Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words ] , I encourage you to have Larry come to your library; which he would love to do.  "In Their Own Words" has drawn between 80 and 150 attendees per event. An estimated 5,000 people have come to hear the reflections and experiences of WWII veterans that Larry has interviewed.

As our former director, Ishwar Laxminarayan, stated "We deeply appreciate the dedication shown by Mr. Larry Martin for bringing these stories alive and are honored to be a partner in his efforts. Larry brings a wealth of knowledge to the program and has recorded scores of interviews with veterans over the past ten years. He passionately reminds his audiences that the freedoms they now take for granted were earned through the hard sacrifices of many thousands of veterans who fought in World War II".

I would be happy to answer any questions about Larry and his wonderful program.
