MONROE - The Green County Genealogical Society program on May 2 will be on following the crew of "Ready, Willing and Able."
Doug Tomas will speak on the results of his research on his great-great uncle. His uncle was a flight engineer on the B-24 "Ready, Willing and Able," which was shot down over northern Italy in World War II in December 1943. He corresponded with surviving crew members and had a special connection with a B-24 at the National Museum of the US Air Force which led to a December 2011 trip to Italy for a special dedication. He will share how he did his research.
The Green County Genealogical Society meeting will be held at 10 a.m. May 2 in the second floor meeting room of the Monroe Public Library. The free event is open to the public.
