Richfield Fellowship Hall, 3903 Broadview Road, Richfield, OH USA

The Richfield Historical Society’s final TakeMeBack series talk of 2026 will be "The Importance of Remembering our Vital WW II History" and will take place on Sunday, November 15, from 2:00-3:00 p.m., at Richfield Fellowship Hall (3903 Broadview Road). 
Dr. Gary C. Domanick, a WW II European campaign historian, will detail the largest amphibious attack in U.S. history -- the D-Day invasion (also known as “Operation Overlord”) which took place on June 6, 1944. His presentation will take attendees from England to Normandy Beach, on the north coast of France, where the U.S. and its allies stormed the five beachheads. After arriving in France, the allied forces traversed across the country to Belgium -- where they fought the "Battle of the Bulge" – then finally crossed the Rhine River and travelled to Berlin to liberate Europe, and ultimately the world, from Nazi Germany. 
No reservations are required for this free program. Call 330-659-4750 for additional information and visit <a href="https://www.richfieldohiohistoricalsociety.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">richfieldohiohistoricalsociety.org</a> for any event updates.

ABOUT THE SHOW
This poignant play is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who have returned to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th straight year. He is a retired professor, nearing 80, with heart palpitations and a failing memory – but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever. Ethel, ten years younger and the perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer.
​It takes some adjustment, but the boy and Norman begin to bond, the kid awakening in the old man the curiosity and sense of purpose that have gone dormant. As Norman revels in taking his new charge fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness – and slang – in return, giving Ethel hope that she hasn’t yet lost her beloved husband to the dementia she fears will claim him. In the final, deeply moving moments of the play, Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together when he survives a frightening heart attack. Time, they know, may be against them, but the years have been good and, perhaps, another summer on Golden Pond still awaits.
​On Golden Pond premiered on Broadway at the New Apollo Theatre on February 28, 1979. Directed by Craig Anderson, the show featured Tom Aldredge, Frances Sternhagen, Ronn Carroll, Barbara Andres, Mark Bendo and Stan Lachow. Famously adapted into an Oscar-winning film, this touching, funny play is a warmly perceptive study of a spirited and lovable elderly couple facing their twilight years.
