Norwich Free Academy plans $2M football field, track renovation

While Norwich Free Academy has been in the process of updating its facilities, the school will soon start another update project. Head of School Nathan Quesnel formally announced the school’s plans to renovate the football field and track during the NFA Annual Corporator Meeting on Nov. 5. Work will begin after this school year’s graduation. The last time the field was updated was back in 1999, so the current field has “outlived its useful life,” Quesnel said. Other ongoing or completed NFA projects Quesnel highlighted include renovations to the cafeteria and Slater Hall and the creation of The Grid computer room in the library for the school’s e-sports team, which started the prior school year. What’s the plan? The new football field will features state of the art synthetic truth, a new track, a press box in the bleachers, new bathrooms, a new concession stand. This project will also include a new wildcat statue located on the other side of campus, where the historic beech tree once stood, Quesnel said. The project is expected to cost $2 million, which includes state funds. The school has also already secured a major donor to the project, Quesnel said. More: Norwich Free Academy

Family seeks Navy Cross for Norwich man who saved Marines in Vietnam

David Jacobson didn’t know much about his father’s service in Vietnam. This year, he began uncovering a story of battlefield heroism he had never fully known. Now he wants his father recognized for it. David Jacobson is seeking a posthumous Navy Cross for Navy corpsman Russell “Doc Jake” Jacobson, who passed away in 2015 from an Agent Orange-related illness. His father received a Purple Heart for injuries he suffered in combat, but was never decorated for actions that multiple accounts say saved the lives of fellow servicemen. “The Navy gave another corpsman on that same hill, same battle, same day, the Navy Cross,” David Jacobson told The Cape Cod Times in September . “My father never got that call. The question now is whether he still can.” Denis Russell, Vietnam veteran and VFW Post Commander in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is helping Jacobson, after after a Massachusetts state representative connected the two. “What we’re trying to do is make sure everyone knows the full story, go through whatever the full procedure is, and follow it up with letters,” he said. The search for the flak jacket While Russell Jacobson would talk about nearly anything, he rarely discussed his Vietnam service. The effects,
