SUMMARY:Wreath-laying Ceremony and Flyover
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the death of Will Rogers\, commonly referred to as Oklahoma’s Favorite Son\, the Will Rogers Memorial Museum will host a wreath-laying at the tomb on Friday\, August 9\, at noon. \nWill Rogers and pilot Wiley Post were killed in a plane crash on August 15\, 1935\, in Point Barrow\, Alaska. Upon hearing the news\, then-president Franklin Roosevelt said\, “I was shocked to hear of the tragedy which has taken Will Rogers and Wiley Post from us. Will was an old friend of mine\, a humorist and philosopher beloved by all.” \nMillions of Americans mourned the death of Will Rogers\, and his legacy is still remembered today. The wreath ceremony will include members of the Rogers family and words from great-granddaughter Jennifer Rogers-Etcheverry. A fly-over by volunteer docent and pilot Tom Egbert will conclude the event. \nA reception with light refreshments will take place after the ceremony. A temporary exhibit featuring artifacts from the crash will be on display to mark this occasion. Admission is free\, and all are welcome to attend. \nThe Will Rogers Memorial Museum is located at 1720 W. Will Rogers Blvd. in Claremore. Call 918-341-0719 for more information. \n \n
