The return of the altar of St. Mary’s Basilica can be compared to the return of our Liberty Bell, is how the recovery of this Polish national treasure was expressed at today’s ceremony honoring Curtis L. Dagley, World War II veteran and Gloucester Times photographer Desi Smith’s father-in-law. Curtis was honored by the Polish government, the City of Gloucester, and the Massachusetts State Senate. Read the complete amazing Andrea Holbrook piece in today’s Gloucester Daily Times front page story.

I only took cell phone photos today but am sure Desi will be sharing many beautiful images from today’s event. The family snapshots are of Curtis’s sisters and brother, along with Curtis’s daughter and Desi’s wife Terry.
