Event Details

The Herman Lodinger Memorial Lecture is on April 25th at 6:30 pm at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. Retired Pastor, Chris Edmonds, son of World War II hero Master Sergeant, Roddie Edmonds, will speak on his father’s selfless actions to protect the Jewish soldiers in a German POW camp under his command. The program is free and open to the public.
Chris Edmonds presentation is based on his award-winning book, No Surrender: A Father, A Son, and an Extraordinary Act of Heroism that Continues to Live on Today. Both the book and Chris Edmonds’ presentation chronicle MSgt. Edmonds’ selfless actions to protect his Jewish brothers through moral courage, servant leadership, and unwavering faith.
This lecture is made possible through the Herman Lodinger Endowment Fund, established for the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force by a gift from Mr. Lodinger’s daughter and son-in-law, Holly and Paul Mandelkern. Second Lieutenant Herman Lodinger was a lead bombardier on a B-24 heavy bomber assigned to the 389th Bomb Group. His plane was shot down in July 1944, and he was captured by the Germans and held prisoner until his 1945 liberation.
Reservations are requested for this program.

Herradura Tequila Pairing Dinner – Friday, April 26, 2024 We are excited to welcome Herradura

Born in 1870, Casa Herradura is one of Mexico’s most historic and renowned tequila producers, since the 19th century in Amatitán, Jalisco. Within its walls, they craft and estate-bottle some of the finest tequilas anyone has ever tasted. It is here that they invented the first reposado and extra añejo, forever changing the world of tequila. And it is here, from the small town of Amatitàn in the heart of Mexico’s tequila region, that they continue to set the standard for what’s to come.

For over a hundred years, fresh agave juice was collected from the tahona wheel and poured into large fermentation tanks where it was mixed with water from an underground aqueduct. It is then transferred into beautiful copper distillation tanks that serve as a reminder that Casa Herradura has been committed to creating the world’s very best tequilas for over a century, all while using a 100% natural fermentation process.

Things you may not have known about Herradura: it is the only tequila that produces its barrels. Most of Herradura’s flavor, and all of its color, come from the barrel. The new tequila enters the barrel at 88 proof (44% ABV). All bottling is done on-site, and the iconic horseshoe is applied by hand on every bottle.

Join us to learn much more about Casa Herradura from its ambassadors, enjoy the many flavors of this tequila house and taste incredible dishes crafted by Chef Luis Lopez-Bueno of Savannah Tequila Company.

Event Details

Descendants of Ossabaw, and former participants in the Ossabaw Island Project and Genesis, and Sandy West-era university programs are invited to spend a day on Ossabaw Island, Georgia’s third largest barrier island.

Did your parents, grandparents or other ancestors live, work or own land on Ossabaw Island from 1760 – 1980?
Were they tenant farmers, enslaved people, Torrey Family employees, land owners, Freedmen, hunting guides, timbermen, or cattlemen?
Were you an Ossabaw Island Project or Genesis Project participant between 1961 – 1983?
Did you visit Ossabaw as a student on one of Eleanor “Sandy” Torrey West’s university programs?

Please join us as the Ossabaw Island Foundation brings Ossabaw’s people together for a day of food, friendship, history, and remembrance.

Travel one hour by pontoon cruising boat through the Moon River District’s rivers and creeks, across Ossabaw Sound to the island’s North End. The day’s events will include optional tours to learn about Ossabaw’s 5,000 years of human history, and where your people’s roles fit into that timeline.

Optional tours: Ossabaw’s North End, including the Club House, the Boarding House, and the three tabby slave cabins, all restored in the last 20 years.

Middle Place, site of the founding of Hinder Me Not Baptist Church, by the Bond brothers. Also the site of the stables for the Torrey family, and of a sawmill owned and operated by the Torreys, and of Genesis, the semi-self-sustainable community created by Mrs. Eleanor “Sandy” Torrey West.

The Torrey West House, former winter residence of the Torrey Family, and site of the Ossabaw Island Project, an interdisciplinary creative program created by Mrs. West.

Enjoy a box lunch you take with you as you explore Ossabaw Island , then return to the mainland on a late afternoon cruise through the Moon River District.

An informational email will be sent to all who register about 10 days before the event.
