Facing Cancer Together -- skin cancer; Maj. Dick Winters events

Written by  Scott LaMar, Director of Radio Smart Talk

Radio Smart Talk for Friday:

As the weather heats up and many people will be working in their yards, going on vacations to the beaches or engaging in all kinds of outdoor activities, protecting themselves from the sun should be a priority.  Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the country with more than two million non-melanoma skin cancers diagnosed each year.

Melanoma_vs_normal_NCIAs part of witf's Facing Cancer Together project, Radio Smart Talk examines skin cancer with Dr. Teri McGillis of the Dermasurgery Center in Lancaster. 

dw9In our second segment, we'll talk to filmmaker Tim Gray of the WWII Foundation about his efforts to erect an monument in France to Major Dick Winters, who died last January.  Winters, who was born in Lancaster County and lived in Hershey, commanded Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division in World War II.  His story was made famous by the book and HBO film Band of Brothers.
