Listen as librarian Allison and Renée Lomell draw an intimate portrait of the larger-than-life figure Leonard "Bud" Lomell, whose death-defying actions on June 6, 1944, in Normandy are credited with providing the foothold the Allies needed to turn the seacoast invasion from disaster to success, and thereby signaling a turn in the entire European Theater effort.

You'll hear Renée's personal recollections of Lomell's postwar career as a civic leader, attorney, father and role model.
