For our November Virtual Program, learn about the veterans of Emmaus, Pennsylvania with Jeanne Harakal, President of the Emmaus Historical Society.
Jeanne talks about the Emmaus Moravians who were reluctant to fight and the few who went into battle, as well as male and female veterans of other wars who returned to Emmaus to flourish in a variety of fields.
Thank you to all of our veterans!

We talk about the first time he picked up a shot put in the Bethlehem Catholic High School parking lot, his favorite place to visit when he comes home (one of them is Ressler’s Market on Main St. in Nazareth), if he’ll ever throw at Celtic Classic, his favorite place to throw in general (it’s not a stadium), how many more Olympic Games we can hope to cheer for him at (maybe more than one!), and how ArtsQuest is on notice that we want to put together a Street Throw event at SteelStacks!
Oh, and Lost Tavern Brewing made a beer in his honor: “Muddy Joe”.
A huge thank you to Lehigh Valley Made Possible for making this interview possible.
