On Monday, May 31, 2010, there was a front-page story in the Seattle Times about “Finding Joe Lippi”. This article tells about a chance meeting where Joe Lippi, Jr. connected with a man his father befriended in basic training about 65 years ago. That man was Art Mahler who will be speaking at the VBOB Spring Luncheon. He’ll be sharing about a trip he and Joe took to Belgium last May as part of a group of “American War Orphans Network” (AWON).  Joe’s father died in WWII.  Attending the luncheon will be a wonderful way to hear the story first-hand and also meet and honor those who, at great peril to themselves and their families, helped liberate many during WW II.

Details about the luncheon are in this downloadable pdf (click to download pdf).
