Join Cape Fear Museum and presenter Tim Pinnick for a Sunday Talk exploring the lives of WWII Navy Veterans from Williston Industrial High School. In October of 1943, Williston celebrated Navy Day with a program to honor former students that had left town to serve on land and sea. Tim Pinnick and UNCW Professor Nathan Ragain discovered the list of individuals recognized in the ceremony and have been researching their lives and uncovering their stories.
