Fletcher Gallery

The Fletcher Gallery will honor veterans in May. One wall will list the names of those veterans who were born, lived, died or were buried in the Mendhams from the Revolutionary War to the present-day conflicts. The listing will contain each veteran’s name, their date of birth and death, their branch of service, the name of war/conflict, if applicable, and their place of burial. This is an ongoing project and visitors are invited to add information directly to the list.

Columbian artist Liliano Velasco will present her bold vibrant work in the month of May. Using simple forms, each painting contains a deliberate message meant to be interpreted by the viewer. This is Velasco’s first show in the United States.

Fletcher Gallery Curio Cabinet

Robert Kumpf, who has written articles for the Observer Tribune about his recent Iraqi experience will have artifacts from his tour of duty in the curio cabinet. Other displays will include photos and clippings ofveterans, the membership roll ofAmerican Legion post #315 and a diagram depicting the burial sites of veterans at Hilltop Presbyterian Church.
