War stories to be told at KC library

Three prominent Kansas City area World War II veterans will tell war stories Wednesday night.

Speaking will be tax preparation entrepreneur Henry Bloch, lawyer Edward T. Matheny Jr. and construction company executive Bill Dunn Sr.

David Von Drehle, Time magazine editor-at-large, will interview them and moderate a question-and-answer session. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Kansas City Public Library’s Plaza branch, 4801 Main St. The program commemorating the 70th anniversary this year of the end of World War II is presented by the library and the Truman Library Institute, with funding from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
