Erv Schmidt was the guest of honor at this year’s Memorial Day ceremony at the Edmonds Cemetery. His story about his WWII experiences were told in the “first person” by a young and very talented student from Edmonds-Woodway high school. Fred Apgar explained the White Table honoring our MIA and POW brothers and sisters still missing or held to the large crowd attending the ceremony. Of course, Katarina Nguyen is almost a standard fixture now reading her award winning Voice of Democracy essay. In addition, a number of us attended Naval Station Everett’s service held on the “real” Memorial day, May 31st.
