11 days shy of his 25th birthday George Ashford was on a 1944 bombing run to Germany when his plane went down, killing him and 7 others. At 5PM today, we’ll have a special interview with Tom Ashford, who has a home on Fort Myers Beach, and contributed to the recently constructed Blue Star Memorial at the library in honor of his Dad.
Thank you Tom and family. What a great tribute to have here on our little island, and the library is such an appropriate place for the Blue Star Memorial. Our former director, Dr. Leroy Hommerding, would have been so elated for this dedication at our library.
