The William "Bruce" Dalton Media Center project
Bruce Dalton was a WWII Glider Pilot and one of the original Museum Volunteers. He passed away in 2007. Bruce worked tirelessly raising funds for museum projects and one of his dreams was the expansion of the museum. The media center is the first part of his dream.
