John Haymond is coming back to the Mower County Senior Center.

If you missed Haymond’s presentation on the Dakota War trials, it was great. Here is another chance to brush up on your history with Haymond, the executive director of the Mower County Historical Society.

This month’s presentation, at 2 p.m. Wednesday, is on the history of the Korean War, comparing how it is depicted in American, Chinese and North Korean sources, and discussing the countering views that result from this. Unlike World War II and Vietnam, the Korean War did not get much media attention in the United States. The most famous representation of the war in popular culture is the television series “M*A*S*H,” which was set in a field hospital in South Korea. It’s final episode was the most-watched in television history.

John will also talk about some of the myths and misconceptions that have persisted in the history of the war. John has a slide show to accompany the presentation.

Please RSVP with your preferences by stopping by the senior center or calling 433-2370 for the front desk.

We look forward to seeing you at our many programs at the senior center. Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and a sandwich for 50 cents.

On Tuesday, we are serving shepherd’s psie for only $2. You are always welcome at the center.
