Sun 13 Feb, 2-5 pm. Raymond Payuer, WWII Naval Veteran Having survived the sinking of the S.S. Henry Bergh, Raymond Payeur opted not to return to his native Maine and was reassigned to the ill-fated USS Indianapolis. While Payeur was not aboard the ship the day it sank, many of the 880 sailors who died were his friends. Since then, Payeur has made it his personal mission to collect and share the stories of the U.S. Navy’s worst disaster in its history.

Sun 27 Feb, 2-5 pm. Stephen G. Keith, Military Vehicle Restorer As America entered WWII, it was a nation ill-equipped to embark upon the greatest military conflict in human history. But with the hard work of millions – and the innovative and enterprising spirit of a nation - the U.S. amassed a vast array of military hardware that propelled us to victory.
