Rediscovered WWII portrait returned to family

In May, a portrait of a late World War II soldier was returned to its family after it was unknowingly stored for decades in an upstate New York home.

WAMC’s Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief Lucas Willard traveled to SUNY Cobleskill to learn more about the portrait.

NOTE: Following the meeting at SUNY Cobleskill (in May), Gary Weitz believes the second portrait found by Rob Nixon is also of his late father, George.

Lucas Willard is a news reporter and host at WAMC Northeast Public Radio, which he joined in 2011. He produces and hosts The Best of Our Knowledge and WAMC Listening Party.
