His work is displayed at the Nixon Library, a Pearl Harbor museum, and the Smithsonian. The Memorial Day events were organized for the fi rst time this year by Jim Huebener. Huebener gave special recognition to the late Leland “Jim” Murray Jr., the original or- ganizer of Cape Elizabeth’s Memorial Day parade, and Jim Cox, who “stepped up to the plate” in 2003, after Murray became ill. Huebener credited these two men with mak- ing the Memorial Day parade and ceremony the well-attended events that they are today.
