More history of WWII: Story of a local hero
Hear Winona veteran Darol “Lefty” Lee’s first hand account of the battle of Iwo Jima as told at the Great River Shakespeare Festival’s Community Forum.
This man is an American treasure. We’re lucky that we had Marines like Darol Lee and so many others who served so valiantly in the battle for Iwo Jima. He seems a very humble man, but the heroic deeds that he did for his fellow Marines on that island all those years ago, and for all of America should never be forgotten. Semper Fi, Dave Winnett, Captain, USMC (Ret.)
Wow, what a wonderful play. Great change from the sometimes hard to understand Shakespeare. Don’t get me wrong I love Shakespeare too. The Comedy of Errors is a wonderful play with Will’s love of mistaken identity. Othello’s Iago is a great example of a demon in human form.
What a great forum for the entire community. Thank you to all who made this happen.
