Presented by John Gidley of Richard I Bong Veterans Historical Center. John will be talking about the life of America’s “Ace of Aces,” Poplar native, Richard Ira Bong and his whirl-wind courtship and marriage to Marge Vattendahl that captured the nation’s attention in the mid 1940’s. He will also share the story of the latest project at the Bong Center: “Mission Marge”.
