Museum, Maryland ANG announce partnership

Participants in Saturday's symposium stand by the ANG's restored F-86 Saberjet.
Saturday night's fund-raising dinner was the perfect time to announce a new working relationship between the Museum and the Maryland Air National Guard. The Museum will host a new ANG Hall of Fame.  First inductees were Gens. Ed Clark, Vic Kilkowski, Bruce Tuxill, Vernon Sevier and NCO Frank Darney.

People take a look at auction items.
The day-long symposium presented the background for the progression to the present-day Guard and its current responsibilities.

The museum also honored the contributions of its own volunteers with a special presentation to Jack Brothers, Will Gibson,  Urban Linn, Harry Mettee, Owen Smith, and Harvey Hodgin.  Harvey was given extra nod for his long years of support.


The dinner and silent auction attracted well over 100 people who saw highlights of the Guard's history in still photos and film clips put together by former ANG member Ron Ball.
