Bill's Liitle Big band played music from the era at the gazebo for an hour from 4-5 p.m.. I went over to two tents with artifacts and newspapers from World War II.
One article from the June 29, 1944, McHenry Plaindealer headlined "Two Harvard Men-- Latest Casualties in McHenry County." Private Everett Roberts, a farmer before the war, died June 1st.
Staff Sergeant Ray Kennedy had been missing over Romania since June 11. he had enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1942 and had completed 26 missions, receiving the Air Medal.
I was unable to learn anything else about these two men.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
