WOLFEBORO — The Wright Museum will show the documentary film, An American Solo, which chronicles the life of Colonel Norman Phillips (USAF retired) on Tuesday, Sept.14 at 6:30 p.m. Raised by illiterate, immigrant grandparents, Phillips grew up to become a decorated World War II fighter pilot, mentor to future astronauts, and Vietnam vet as well as an artist, teacher, and novelist.
“Norman was an interesting man who went on to earn a BFA and MFA in Art at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst where he taught sculpture for 19 years,” said Mike Culver, executive director of The Wright.
An American Solo will be shown from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Wright Museum, 77 Center Street, on the first floor of the new DuQuoin Education Center. The film will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A session with MacNamee and Bear.
Masks are optional for all fully vaccinated audience members. Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made by calling 603-569-1212.
