WWII Veteran Bill Purple, dear friend of the Collings Foundation and American Heritage Museum, has flown his last mission into the wild blue. Hard to put together the words of how special Bill was in this short Facebook post. He is truly emblematic of "The Greatest Generation" and will be forever missed. Calling hours will be from 4 to 7pm, Friday, November 1st at Fiske-Murphy & Mack Funeral Home, 110 New Athol Road, Orange, MA. There will be a short service at 10am, Saturday, November 2nd at the funeral home, with the burial at 11am at the West Street Cemetery in Petersham, MA. ![]()

IHI / AHM Speaker Series: “The Coming Storm: Another Great Power War?”
February 19, 2021 @ 12:00 pm, ending 1:30 pm
Virtual presentation by speakers:
Clinton Reach, Policy Analyst, RAND Corporation
Erik Goldstein, Professor of Intl. Relations and History, IHI Senior Fellow
Cathal J. Nolan, Professor of History and Director of the International History Institute.
Is the “Long Peace” that began in 1945 ending? Are we approaching yet another Great Power War? What issues and which players might wage the next major war? Can it be limited or will it go general (and nuclear)? Or will it become, like both world wars did, a long war of attrition that engages whole nations in destruction?
12:00 PM to 1:30 PM. Friday, February 19th
