On this summertime edition of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present audio from a 60th anniversary commemoration of VE Day, the end of World War II in Europe. Panelists include Tuskegee Airman William Booker, US Army veteran John S. "Jack" Carver and US Army veteran and former POW Dr. James Warren (who was also the former MOHAI director).

The panel was part of a series produced and moderated by CASCADE OF HISTORY producer/host Feliks Banel when he was deputy director of Seattle's Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), and was recorded before a live audience on May 8, 2005 in the McCurdy Gallery at the old MOHAI in Montlake.

This episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally broadcast at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, August 18, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
