This will be our annual meeting and final dinner of the season featuring author and researcher Clay Bonnyman Evans. Based on nearly a decade of field work and archival research, Evans’ Bones of My Grandfather explores the life, death and unprecedented 2015 recovery of the author’s grandfather, 1st Lt. Alexander Bonnyman, Jr., a former Santa Fe resident who posthumously received the Medal of Honor after being killed in the Battle of Tarawa on Nov. 22, 1943. Evans, who was present when his grandfather was unearthed after more than seven decades, presents compelling slides and video of this remarkable story.
