“PEP FILES, THE FAMOUS IN THE MILITARY”
Tuesday, September 17, 2024
7:00-8:30 PM
Presented by: Lori Berdak-Miller
The National Archives and Records Administration-St. Louis has a wealth of military record groups to aid in family research. One group not well known are the PEP files, Persons of Exceptional Prominence. These are famous people from all backgrounds who served their country. We will play a game of how well you know these people, beside learning the rules and regulations of doing research at NARA-St. Louis. Perhaps you might win a book!
Lori is a military researcher and genealogist -- locally grown since first grade. After her father retired from the Air Force, her family moved to St. Charles for his job at McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing). She graduated from Orchard Farm, has an A.A. from Columbia College, and a B.A, from UMSL. Her clients include genealogists, military collectors, museums, television shows, authors, and genealogical institutions. She also starred in podcasts and worldwide documentary.
She is proud of her longtime membership in SCCHS (from her younger to older years).
