This week Patch received  one guess about Vespa's whereabouts, but one was all we needed. But Karen Holt, building coordinator at the Macungie Institute, gave more than Vespa's location. "VESPA is visiting the Veterans Monument located in beautiful Macungie Memorial Park. Originally dedicated on May 30, 1952, this memorial to our community's veterans was totally refurbished and rededicated on May 26, 2001. It is the site of our Memorial Day services each year." Thanks, Karen. We could not have said it better.
