Picture by Fred Feiler FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kirsty Gaukel, Press & Marketing Manager, [email protected] Program Contact: Erin Boss, Education Program Manager, [email protected] TWO NEW ARTIST LECTURES ANNOUNCED |
‘Silver Dollar Girls: The Women Pilots of WWII’ on May 8 will be presented by author Margaret DiBenedetto. In 1941, General Hap Arnold made a surprising and bold decision to allow civilian female pilots to assist in the effort to win WWII. For two years, more than one thousand women flew military aircraft for the US Army Airforce. A local pilot, Ruth Franckling, Margaret’s mother, was part of that effort. Inspired by Ruth’s story, Margaret’s novel 'Silver Dollar Girls' blends a fictional story set in the Catskills Mountains with her mother’s role in aviation history. Join us for a personal talk that sheds light on the brave women who served. |
‘Marine Art: Finding Joy in Color and Peace in Nature’ on May 22 features Coast Guard Art Program artist Fred Feiler. This presentation is offered in conjunction with the Hudson River Maritime Museum's exhibition of the paintings of the late Peter K. Eagleton, "Working Waterfronts." Feiler, like Eagelton, is part of the Coast Guard’s Art Program and his work reflects a deep love of water and boats. Feiler will share his works completed at the Coast Guard Station at Boothbay Harbor, ME which depict training missions including using flares, direct hoist, direct trail hoist, and a motor life boat rescue. Feiler will also introduce the work of the broader Coast Guard Art Program, highlighting eleven missions of the Coast Guard/Homeland Security as portrayed by various artists. |
