MUSEUM EVENT SUCCESSFUL: Michigan’s Military and Space Heroes Museum officials held a “Hero Next Door Event” in the Bavarian Inn Lodge Composer Rooms on Monday evening, February 23. Approximately 130 persons attended. Nearly 30 stories, along with some uniforms and medal displays, were taken from the museum’s collection of 600-plus available displays, with an emphasis on men and women from the immediate Frankenmuth area who served in the military.  Above, Fred Beyerlein, Dale Van Fleet and Del Crary look over one of the displays. The event was held to introduce Ryder, who began his director duties in July 2014, as well as give exposure to local heroes and drum up museum membership. (News photos)
