A Memorial brass plaque in memory of Duane Marggraf was installed at 
Lakeside Park in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, in the 1980s.  In 1999, a local
resident noticed that the plaque had been removed.  After several letters to
city authorities, no one seemed to know where the plaque had gone.  
Finally a city employee called quietly to tell Liberty friends that the plaque
was in storage.  Armed with this information, city officials were asked to 
restore the plaque to a place of honor.  We are pleased to report that the
Duane Marggraf Memorial Plaque is now (June 2000) displayed on a wall
in the Court House. 

Memorial Public Library at Grafton, Wisconsin.  Creation of this city public
library, named USS LIBERTY MEMORIAL PUBLIC LIBRARY, became a

organized protests, claiming that the library's name was an insult to Jews.
After dozens of newspaper and television stories the town prevailed.
