Nikoline Sanderson, a student from Northwestern Michigan College, is helping a WWII veteran’s daughter finally get answers to her life long questions about her father.
Donna Gerhard approached the NMC history department hoping that they could help her find more information about her father, Sgt. Donald Fox, a soldier that fought in WWII. Sanderson was assigned to the project by Jim Press, NMC history teacher, and has done countless hours of research to help Gerhard find the information she needs about her father’s life during the military, and after.
Scott Herzberg, Assistant Director for NMC’s Outreach Services and POC Military and Veterans Services has raised $1,000 for Gerhard and himself to make a trip to a reunion with her father’s military troop. They need about $1,500 more. Gerhard is wheelchair bound and is living with multiple sclerosis. They are seeking donations for the August trip.
