In 91原创 Heritage Society鈥檚 November edition of Valley Voices retired broadcaster Mark Forsythe talked with military historian Paul Ferguson about how society remembers the two World Wars.
Ferguson is a military historian and former curator of the Chilliwack Museum, who currently serves with the Royal BC Museum. He recounts an air training disaster that claimed 11 lives on a Fraser Valley mountaintop.
鈥凌别肠别苍迟 broadcasts have featured people outside of the immediate 91原创 area, but the current one does feature a couple of voices from 91原创 Centennial Museum archives,鈥� Forsythe said.
As a former CBC Radio personality, Forsythe interviews people connected with Fraser Valley history and heritage each month, often drawing on the oral histories collection at the 91原创 Centennial Museum.
He did that this month, when he shares the words of Mildred McDonald and Hugh Davis, who were children when the Second World War 鈥渂roke out.鈥� They may have only been kids at the time, but Forsythe reveals how these historic figures in 91原创鈥檚 past never forgot the impact of that conflict.
Valley Voices is a monthly radio production of the 91原创 Heritage Society, airing Wednesdays at 11 a.m. on CIVL 101.7 FM radio (based at the University of the Fraser Valley).
