| NASHUA -- "Growing
up with Heroes: The Navajo Code Talkers of World War II," a lecture by
Zonnie M. Gorman, a recognized historian, lecturer and consultant on the
Navajo Code Talkers, will take place on the campus of Daniel Webster
College on Wednesday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m., at the Collings
Auditorium.
Gorman is the daughter of Dr. Carl
Gorman, who was a highly respected educator, artist and consultant, and
one of the original 29 Navajo Code Talkers, who played a vital role in
the Pacific operations during World War II. He died in 1998 at the age

that was indecipherable to the Japanese and helped American forces earn
victory in the Pacific.

Indian in New York, and has appeared in and consulted for national and
