July 29, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

pogiebaits war

On July 29, Jack H. (“Nick”) McCall Jr. will talk about his book, Pogiebait’s War, chronicling the story of his father’s journey from a small town in Tennessee to World War II combat service with the US Marines in the vast Pacific from Guadalcanal and the Solomon Islands to Guam and the Marianas. Jack McCall Sr. earned the nickname “Pogiebait,” from the Marine slang term for his fondness for candy.

McLarty-Goodson Hall is the first building on the right after the main entrance to the Brevard College Campus. Signs and museum volunteers will direct attendees. Room MG-125 is a comfortable theater-style class room on the building’s first floor.
