1380 Spahn Avenue, York, PA

We recently marked the passing of a special York resident, Mr. Walter Zeigler, who has been a supporter of ForSight Vision for quite a while.  Here at ForSight Vision, we are grateful for Mr. Zeigler's support and furthermore for his service to his community and, in fact, his country.

You see, Walter Zeigler was a WWII veteran. His plane was shot down over Austria, and he spent months as a prisoner of war in German custody. 

Water later wrote a narrative of his ordeal; and when he died, he left his legacy in our hands. We here at ForSight Vision felt that his story should live on.  Thus, we shared his papers and his account of his Army Air Corps experience with the York County Heritage Trust Library/Archives. Now others can know the story of this fine American.

In fact, June Lloyd, Librarian Emerita of York County Heritage Trust, wrote about Walter's life in a piece published by York Daily Record/York Sunday News.

We encourage you to read Walter's story and share it with others.
