FORMER WWII POW BAUM RECALLS RESCUE

Napan Irving "Irv" Baum -- an Army Air Force vet held as a POW in Germany for nearly two years -- marks the 67th anniversary of his release by chronicling his capture, captivity and liberation (illustrated by World War II-era photographs) in a pre-July 4 event open to the public free of charge. St. Mary's hosts Baum as part of it's on-going "Learn with the Pros" series.
