Author Marilyn Johansen will share stories from her unique upbringing as the daughter of an Air Force fighter pilot during the Cold War as recounted in her book, My Father's Secrets. Experience history through her eyes as she reveals the personal and untold stories of a military family navigating the realities of war, intelligence gathering, and the fight for freedom. Her father had been in WWII as a P-38 pilot and then a prisoner of war in Stalag Luft III. He would continue his military career in the Air Force as an F- 84 fighter pilot in the Korean War, Cold War events in Europe and North Africa and Vietnam. World events would come to dictate her life. She never knew where she would live next. She was the "kid from nowhere and everywhere", always aware that the quality of their lives came second to the importance of protecting the United States.
