Vietnam Presentation
and Discussion
at Bishop Sullivan Catholic
High School
|
| Ms. Noreen Baker, English Department
Chair at Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School assigned her students the
task of reading “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien – a portrayal
of the Vietnam War. She invited COL Jim Smith, USA (Ret),
LCDR
Ray Lopez, USN (Ret) and COL Jim Edge, USA (Ret) to participate
in a presentation and discussion of our experience in Vietnam and how it
related to the assigned reading. They met with about 60 students
on 15 September at the High School. It is a pleasure to report that
the students were interested, attentive and participated in a healthy question
and answer session following their presentations. At the end, several
students thanked us personally and asked additional questions. It
was a good day for our veterans to interface with the good, strong and
smart young high school. |
