WWII panel discussion at the Adirondack Experience museum

I was honored to participate in a four-member panel discussion at the Adirondack Experience Museum in Blue Mountain Lake on Monday evening July 12th. Here is the link: Wartime Recovery in the Adirondacks | Adirondack Experience (theadkx.org) As part of this summer's exhibit celebrating the massive participation of Adirondackers in the effort to defeat the Japanese Empire and Nazi Germany in World War II, the panel discussed how the Adirondacks provided a healing environment to the veterans, many of whom suffered from PTSD. My part focused on the WWII veterans I have met and cared for as their physician, many of whom I photographed and wrote about in my third book. The other panelists spoke about more recent conflicts as well as the experiences of women veterans. The museum will be offering copies of my book "We Were There; World War II Stories from the Adirondacks' Greatest Generation' for sale.
