This month marks the centenary of the end of World War I. In this program, Larry Cates will share many interesting facts about High Point’s approach to the war effort, both here and "over there." The story includes war heroes and "slackers," volunteers and draft dodgers, paranoia, persecution, and real-life espionage, business challenges and opportunities, fuel and food shortages, an extremely cold winter, and a deadly influenza pandemic. He will speak of the war's continuing relevance in our own times. Sponsored by the High Point Historical Society.
