Northavener Janice Henderson had a nice story on KERA this morning, detailing the lives of World War II POWs from Jack County.
Find the link here.
From the KERA website:
"On Veteran's Day, we commemorate the men and women who have served our country. But for one group of Veterans who survived as Japanese prisoners of war, today is a reminder of the strength and sacrifice that formed the foundation of a bond that still exists today. Freelance writer Janice Henderson has more"
Luther Prunty, one of the men interviewed for this story, is the father of Northavener, Gail Bialas. The Henderson's and Gail's family have family homes very near each other in Jack County, but did not meet until they were all members of Northaven...and did not know the family connection until very recently!
Thanks, Janice, for putting this out there!
A good reminder on Veteran's Day.
