Memorial Distinguished Lecture Series
Established in 1992, the George W. Jalonick III and Dorothy Cockrell Jalonick Memorial Distinguished Lecture Series has expanded to become a yearly event that allows The History of Aviation Collection to showcase some of the most prominent and fascinating figures in the field of aviation history. Held in the summer, these lectures are free and open to all interested members of the public.
The 2011 Jalonick Memorial Lecture, a free public event presented by McDermott Library’s Special Collections, will feature three Vietnam airmen whose lives will forever be connected to the same series of combat events – North Vietnamese MiG pilot Nguyen Hong My who shot down American John Stiles, and American Phantom pilot Dan Cherry who shot down Hong My in a terrific dogfight over North Vietnam in 1972. It was not until 2008 that the three finally met each other and it has become a touching story of reconciliation and friendship. Bob Noble, who was a crew member of the Air America helicopter that rescued Stiles and his pilot, Bob Mock, will also attend. There will be a book signing and reception following the one-hour presentation. The lecture will take place on June 25th at Jonsson Performance Hall (JO 2.604) 4 p.m. - 5 p.m. More Information |
