Veterans Day Talk

The First and Latest Generals of Lenox

A Veterans Day Presentation by the Lenox Library Held at the Lenox Town Hall Auditorium

Brigadier General Marie T. Field (ret.) was the highest-ranking woman ever to serve in the Massachusetts Air National Guard. In conversation with Local History Librarian Amy Lafave, she will talk about her diverse roles in her journey through the chain of command. The Veterans Day talk will also tie the threads between Field, the latest Lenox General, and John Paterson, the first Lenox General, with a nod to Lieutenant George E. Turnure, in whose memory the Lenox Community Center building was built.
