8 March 1946 was a red letter day for Virginia. World War II heroes Winston Churchill and General Dwight Eisenhower visited Virginia. For Richmond photographer Frank Dementi it was also a red letter day, as Mr Dementi was the only photographer to record this visit. This book uses newspaper accounts and personal recollections to help recreate this event.
Brian A Dementi is the elder son of Frank Dementi, graduated from Hamden-Sydney College and pursued a graduate degree at the Medical College of Virginia. After a career as a biochemist with the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D.C., he devoted his time to research associated with his father's photographs.
