The LLCC Foundation would like to invite faculty and staff unable to make Saturday’s book signing and lecture by Dr. Chris McDonald to a similar event tonight at the Trutter Center. The reception begins at 5 p.m. in the Trutter Center foyer, with Dr. McDonald’s talk about his recently released book at 6 p.m.

Professor McDonald’s book, “‘Three Lying or Four Sitting’— From the Front in a Ford,” provides an eyewitness account of World War I through the letters of Springfield native and Harvard student Kent Dunlap Hagler. Professor McDonald will provide a glimpse of Mr. Hagler’s life as an ambulance driver and the local connection to the Great War.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Cost of the book is $19.95, plus tax. All proceeds from book sales will benefit the LLCC Foundation general scholarship fund in honor of Kent Dunlap Hagler.

The Philip and Mary Kathryn Trutter Museum is also presenting an exhibit throughout April featuring many of Mr. Hagler’s original letters written to his parents during the war, as well as some irreplaceable personal items.
