Maj. Gen. Thomas W. Geary to Speak at<br />

Norwich University Veterans Day Observance<br />

Norwich University will observe Veterans<br />

Day by conducting a Corps of Cadets review<br />

in honor of all veterans, past and present. <strong>The</strong><br />

reviewing officer and guest speaker is Major<br />

General Thomas W. Geary, U.S. Air Force,<br />

Norwich Class of 1988.<br />

Veterans, the public, and those currently<br />

serving in the Armed Forces of the United<br />

States are cordially invited to attend the<br />

<strong>The</strong> ceremony will include cannon fire in<br />

the Roll of Wars, a wreath laying, firing of<br />

three rifle volleys, and the playing of Echo<br />

Taps.<br />

Major General Geary’s remarks will touch<br />

upon the themes of veterans who have served<br />

in peacetime and war, including their unwavering<br />

courage and commitment to the nation.<br />

He will also address challenges facing our<br />

veterans, including health issues, homelessness<br />

and combat trauma, such as PTSD. And,<br />

he will recall the history of Veterans Day, as<br />

ending <strong>World</strong> War I.<br />

University faculty members will hold free and<br />

open to the public the Norwich Panel on<br />

Veterans to Share Powerful Stories of Military<br />

Service with Community on Nov. 10<br />

Nine veterans and their family members<br />

will share stories of military service with the<br />

community during a compelling full-length<br />

theater work, <strong>The</strong> Telling Project, at Chandler<br />

Center for the Arts on Veterans Day weekend,<br />

Saturday evening, November 10.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Telling Project - a national non-profit<br />

organization based in Austin, Texas – works<br />

to deepen understanding and connection<br />

between American veterans, military families,<br />

and their civilian communities through<br />

live stage productions in which veterans and<br />

their family members theatrically recount<br />

their own unique experiences of service. <strong>The</strong><br />

upcoming Chandler production of <strong>The</strong> Telling<br />

Project is one of more than 60 such productions<br />

offered in communities large and small<br />

nationwide since 2008.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>se Telling Project productions are<br />

effectively breaking down stereotypes and<br />

creating necessary conversations at a community<br />

level concerning concepts of war, the<br />

military, service, citizenship, and community,”<br />

says Chandler Executive Director Tom<br />

Ayres. “In a time of such pervasive, bitter<br />

division in our country, it is more important<br />

than ever that we gather together through the<br />

vehicle of the arts for this vital and necessary<br />

dialog.”<br />

In early April of this year, Max Reyneard,<br />

an oral historian and award-winning playwright<br />

with <strong>The</strong> Telling Project national<br />

organization, visited Chandler to interview<br />

nine area veterans and military family members<br />

about their experiences of service and its<br />

impact on their lives. Transcripts of those<br />

interviews – each of which was approximately<br />

90 minutes long – were then woven<br />

into the evening-length, storytelling theater<br />

event that will become Chandler’s own presentation<br />

of <strong>The</strong> Telling Project, unique to the<br />

veterans and communities of central Vermont.<br />

Chandler’s presentation of <strong>The</strong> Telling<br />

Project features a cast that spans the branches<br />

of U.S. military service and wars from<br />

Vietnam through the present day conflicts in<br />

Iraq and Afghanistan. Cast members include<br />

Vietnam and Vietnam-era veterans Peter<br />

Nowlan, Dave Peirce, Lori Peirce, and Ron<br />

Wold, Sr. from Randolph, and Vermont State<br />

Senator Mark McDonald from Williamstown.<br />

• • •<br />

He has commanded at the squadron, group,<br />

wing and joint levels, and throughout his<br />

career, has held a variety of leadership positions<br />

in various major commands, combatant<br />

commands - including the Director of<br />

Intelligence for U.S. Southern Command, the<br />

Defense Intelligence Agency and the National<br />

Security Agency, as well as being deployed to<br />

Afghanistan serving on the senior staff of<br />

Headquarters International Security<br />

Assistance Force and U.S. Forces Afghanistan.<br />

Prior to his current assignment, Geary served<br />

as the Deputy Director for Strategic<br />

Integration, Headquarters Defense<br />

Intelligence Agency, Washington, D.C.<br />

Geary was commissioned in 1988 as a<br />

distinguished graduate of the Air Force<br />

ROTC program at Norwich University. After<br />

commissioning, he served in the missile<br />

operations career field as Minuteman Ill<br />

Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Combat<br />

Crew Commander and instructor before transitioning<br />

to the intelligence career field.<br />

An open reception will follow the outdoor<br />

ceremony in the foyer of Jackman Hall.<br />

<strong>The</strong> uniform for this special event is the<br />

Service Class A uniform. Please plan on cold<br />

weather and dress accordingly.<br />

Amy Engsholmen of Albany, Vermont, is a<br />

Marine veteran from the Gulf War era. Rachel<br />

Putney of Randolph, Title IX coordinator at<br />

Norwich University, and Wayne Goulet of<br />

Waterbury, a business instructor at the<br />

Randolph Technical Career Center, are veterans<br />

of the contemporary conflicts in the<br />

Middle East. Ramsey Papp of Randolph, the<br />

wife of West Point graduate and longtime<br />

Vermont Army National Guard member<br />

Michael Papp, rounds out the cast. Charlie<br />

McMeekin, the longtime theater teacher at<br />

Randolph Union High School and <strong>The</strong> Sharon<br />

Academy, is the director. McMeekin also<br />

served for many years as the director of<br />

Chandler’s annual Fourth of July Summer<br />

Musical.<br />

Ayres first heard about <strong>The</strong> Telling Project<br />

one year ago at an annual gathering of arts<br />

presenters called Idea Swap, presented by the<br />

New England Foundation for the Arts<br />

(NEFA). Collaborating with two other performing<br />

arts venues in the region - Catamount<br />

Arts in St. Johnsbury and the Redfern Center<br />

for the Arts at Keene State College in New<br />

Hampshire – Chandler obtained a grant from<br />

NEFA to underwrite a portion of the cost of<br />

presenting <strong>The</strong> Telling Project at each of the<br />

three venues. (Catamount will mount its own,<br />

local production of <strong>The</strong> Telling Project this<br />

winter, while the Redfern Center at Keene<br />

State will do the same in the spring of 2019.)<br />

In addition to the NEFA support, subsequent<br />

grant and sponsorship support has also been<br />

garnered from the Vermont Arts Council, the<br />

Walter Cerf Community Fund of the Vermont<br />

Community Foundation, and Kinney Pike<br />

Insurance.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> generous funding support that this<br />

project has received is enabling Chandler to<br />

offer the broadest possible access to this performance<br />

for our entire community,” notes<br />

Ayres. “Tickets for <strong>The</strong> Telling Project are<br />

steeply discounted through a buy-one-getone-free<br />

option and tickets for veterans and<br />

students are further discounted.”<br />

Arts on Saturday, November 10, at 7:30 pm,<br />
