History club to host guest speaker

Vincent Santucci, a senior paleontologist and program coordinator with the National Park Service, will be the guest speaker at a meeting of the Military Oral History Club of Lancaster County on Tuesday, March 26, at 7 p.m.

Santucci will talk about a National Park Service project to uncover and preserve the "top secret military intelligence" story associated with the work at P.O. Box 1142 (camp confidential), which contributed to the outcome of World War II. He will also discuss the event's connection to the Manhattan Project and Cold War, as well as other important history during the post-war period.

The Military Oral History Club meets at VFW Post 2435, 401 Manor St., Columbia, on the last Tuesday of the month. All veterans, students and anyone with an interest in military history are invited to attend. Veterans of any war, family members or friends who would like to share their experiences are also welcome to attend.
