June 10th Dinner Meeting – Special Guest Author Russell N. Low

Join us on Wednesday, June 10th for a powerful and moving evening as we welcome author Russell N. Low, who will share the remarkable story behind his book, Crosby’s Curse: The Story of Bing Crosby’s WWII Bomber.

This presentation explores the history of the B-24 Liberator “Crosby’s Curse,” the crew who flew her, and the unexpected connection to legendary entertainer Bing Crosby. Through meticulous research and personal storytelling, Russell brings to life the courage, sacrifice, and human side of America’s bomber crews during World War II.

You’ll hear:

  • The origin of the aircraft’s unique name
  • The operational history of the bomber and its crew
