The Appraisal Institute announced Feb. 20 that former U.S. Navy Captain Charles Plumb, a Vietnam prisoner of war and author, will be the keynote speaker at its 2012 Annual Meeting. The event will take place Aug. 1-3 at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego.
On Plumb’s 75th mission in an F-4 Phantom jet, with only five days before he was to return home from Vietnam, Plumb was shot down, captured, tortured and imprisoned in an 8 foot x 8 foot cell. He spent the next 2,103 days as a prisoner of war.
