A historic perspective | Snapshot – Chico Enterprise-Record

The Bidwell Branch of Sons In Retirement, or SIR, had two of the daughters of the Commander of the 99th Fighter Squadron from World War II who were known as the Tuskegee Airmen and the Red Tails. They presented a fascinating glimpse into our past military history. Shown from left to right are Dave Jones, Jim Braziel, Lanelle Drent, Leigh Roberts and Rich Utter. SIR provides a variety of social activities for senior men. For more information and to learn how to join in the fun, please check out the website at www.branch110.sirinc2.org.

How to submit a snapshot

Snapshots, reader-submitted photos of community events, are published Monday. They may include service projects, guest speakers at club meetings, awards being presented or kids doing school projects. Just make sure there are people in the photo — no more than 12 — and keep it current.

Send a high-resolution JPG with a paragraph explaining the content of the photo: who (in left-to-right order with last names), what, where, when and why to snapshots@chicoer.com. Non-digital submissions will not be accepted at this time.

We can’t accept photos about businesses, private events or those adorable pet photos.
