Lenox Library Presents 'The First and Latest Generals of Lenox'
LENOX, Mass. — In honor of Veterans Day, the Lenox Library will present "The First and Latest Lenox Generals" on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023 at 11:00 a.m.
The program will take place in the Lenox Town Hall auditorium, located at 6 Walker Street.
Brigadier General Marie T. Field (ret.) was the highest-ranking woman ever to serve in the Massachusetts Air National Guard.
In conversation with Local History Librarian Amy Lafave, Field will talk about her diverse roles in her journey through the chain of command. The Veterans Day talk also will tie the threads between Field, the most recent Lenox General, and John Paterson, the first Lenox General, with a nod to Lieutenant George E. Turnure Jr., in whose memory the Lenox Community Center building was constructed.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
