Veterans Story Night at Curry Public Library As the community prepares for Veterans Day, join the Curry Public Library for Veterans Story Night on Thursday, November 6th at 5:30 p.m. to hear stories from three local veterans, Colby Hanks, Jake Eide and Dianne Daniels. “Veterans Story Night has been one of our favorite programs since we started it three years ago,” said library programs manager Rebecca Marcus. “It gives veterans a chance to share a wide range of stories and gives their loved ones and other community members, both who served and did not, a chance to better understand their experience. We always make time at the end for everyone to visit over coffee, tea and homemade cookies.” This year three veterans, Colby Hanks, Jacob Eide and Dianne Daniels, who served in

three different branches of the armed forces, will be speaking. Colby Hanks served for four years in the US Army in a ﬁeld artillery unit. He will share some of the experiences he had while overseas serving in Iraq. Jacob “Jake” Eide joined the US Coast Guard nine days after graduating Gold Beach High School and served for twenty years. He looks forward to sharing some of the experiences he had while serving. Commander Dianne Daniels (USN retired) will talk about what brought her to the Navy. Serving primarily in between major wars and in a support-the-ﬁghter role, she will share her favorite and most demanding assignments and discuss some of the challenges of being a woman in the Navy at the time.
