Learn About One Man's WWII Fight At Canton Library Event

CANTON, CT — The Canton Public Library Tuesday, Feb. 7, will have a highly interesting program on one's man's experience during World War II.

Called "This Business of Fighting: A Human Face on WW II," it will take place at the library, 40 Dyer Ave.

The event will feature storyteller Arnie Pritchard, who will bring guests the story of his father’s time as a soldier in World War II.

According to the library, Pritchard inherited the papers and letters found in a trunk after his father Tony Pritchard died and he pieced together into a story his father’s experience in the front lines in Europe.

Pritchard, a Yale history major, has "woven the facts of his father Tony’s service with Tony’s true reactions as he entered into combat for the first time, led men, and witnessed the collapse of the Nazi regime," wrote the library.

The program is free.

To join, register online on the library’s "Upcoming Programs" page or call 860- 693-5800. Those with questions can call/email Katie Bunn at the library, 860-693-5800 or via email kbunn@townofcantonct.org.
