SUMMARY:Box Lunch Talk: An Afternoon Talk with Melvin Hurwitz & Steve Bowersox
DESCRIPTION:Canceled \nMr. Hurwitz grew up in Westminster\, MD to a family of a local jewelry store owner.

Mr. Hurwitz was a waist gunner and radio man on a B-17 that flew bombing missions over Europe. \nMore recently Melvin has become a bit of an international celebrity because he attended the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. \nHe will celebrate his 100th birthday in March 2025. He will share stories of his life in Westminster and beyond. \nAs always\, there is no registration for Box Lunch Talks.
