2 LEXINGTON SENIOR CENTER NEWS JUNE 2008 Lexington Veterans Association - Monday, June 9, 2008, at 1:00 p.m., at Cary Memorial Library (Meeting Room), 1874 Massachusetts Avenue - Presentation by Rob Gregg entitled, Letters from Europe: My Father in WWII. In 1941, New England- raised Burton William Gregg was drafted into what Army Chief of Staff, General George C. Marshall called "a citizen's army." As a twenty- six - year -old, 2nd Lieutenant in the Signal Corp, Burt landed on Utah Beach on D -Day. Burt's son, Rob tells a timeless story of a family and marriage separated by war, yet very much connected by love and devotion. Using original photos and quotes from his father's letters, he develops a variety of themes: his parents' prewar years, Burt's military history, vignettes of daily life, leisure time with his colleagues, and Burt's attitude toward the war. Concluding remarks are made about the postwar years and Rob's rewarding experiences with this project. All are welcome. Refreshments will be served.
