The Ghost Army

World War II's Artists of Deception

Fundraiser Recap

may222007
Martha Gavin hosted a very successful fundraiser in Hamilton, MA, on May 6th. There were about 50 people in attendance. It was especially gratifying that one of the people there was Joanne Patton, daughter-in-law of the famous World War II Commander George S. Patton. She has been very supportive of the film over the last year. Thanks for everything, Joanne!

We raised money through donations, a raffle, and an auction of signed prints by Ghost Army artists Victor Dowd, John Jarvie, Arthur Shilstone, and Ned Harris, as well as an unsigned print of a picture by Richard Morton, now deceased. This was the first time we did an auction, and it was great fun. Hilly Ebling did a fantastic job as the auctioneer.
