Action! on November 11th at the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center when Kathy Bickimer, field producer from the WCVB-TV (Ch. 5) Chronicle news magazine focused on the Center's Navy exhibit displaying the fascinating story of the World War II years at what was then called Station 'C'.

Snapshots from the Lumpkin family album are featured in the Marconi Center video "Chatham Radio goes to War". Ed Fouhy, producer of the film, was also interviewed for the Chronicle segment by Ms. Bickimer.The segment will be rebroadcast in Spring 2012. Click here to see the Chronicle segment
