Featured Events for the May-June 2012 Series

Colorado Author Series: Carron Barrella
Saturday, May 12, 2 p.m.
Schlessman Family Branch Library

More Than 36 Days is the story of four Denver-area men who served as U.S. Marines during World War II in the battle for Iwo Jima in the Pacific. It is not a war book — it focuses on the men, their backgrounds, and how the war experienced defined them. They spent 36 days on the island, but their stories are more than that. Learn from the hearts and souls of Don Whipple, Joe Weinmeier, Max Brown and Jim Blane.
