Abilene, Kan. - The public is invited to join our May Lunch & Learn program on Thursday, May 29, at 12 p.m. noon central time at the Eisenhower Presidential Library. The hybrid program will be held in the Library building indoor courtyard and online via YouTube Livestream. Guests are encouraged to arrive by 11:45 a.m. A light box-lunch will be provided on a first come, first served basis. (Please note, this program was originally scheduled for May 22 but has been moved to Thursday, May 29.)

Archivist Randy Sowell will join us virtually from the Truman Presidential Library. His presentation will feature letters, reports, personnel records, and audiovisual resources relating to the Korean War that the Harry S. Truman Library has received or made available online over the past 10 years. 

Sowell has served as an archivist at the Harry S. Truman Library since 1993. He is a graduate of Wichita State University (B.A., 1980; M.A., 1985) and the University of Kansas (Ph.D., 1992).

The 2025 programming season is dedicated to our nation’s veterans. The Eisenhower Museum was originally founded as a tribute to WWII veterans. Join us as we continue to uphold the legacy of honoring those who served. These programs are all made possible courtesy of the Eisenhower Foundation with generous support from the Jeffcoat Memorial Foundation.
