During World War II and again
during the Korean War, an Italian American restaurant owner in
Mechanicville took photographs of local service members in uniform who
stopped by his popular tavern. Chris Carola tells the stories behind the collection of approximately 700 images taken by Charles Siciliano Sr. currently
housed at the Mechanicville District Public Library. These photos are
visual reminders of the service and sacrifice of so many of our fellow
New Yorkers. Carola will also discuss the library's campaign to restore and remount the collection in museum-quality frames.
