Brookfield Resident to Deliver Presentation on WWI

Jack Scully, a Brookfield resident and former Navy veteran will deliver a multi-media presentation on May 4 discussing America’s participation in The Great War.

In addition he will share information he has gathered over the past 35 years in creating a profile on his father’s older brother John, relating to his WWI military service.

Scully has taught several genealogy courses in Danbury and Brookfield and recently gave a talk on “Genealogy & Technology” at the Danbury Area Computer Society.

The presentation sponsored by the Brookfield Historical Society will take place at the Brookfield Museum at 7:30 p.m. The museum is located at 165 Whisconier Road (Junction of Routes 25 and 133) in Brookfield Center. Mr. Scully will wear a WWI uniform made by his wife Barbara similar to that worn by his uncle Jack.
