From the Daily Reflector mewspaper, Greenville, North Carolina.
One of the best Civil War Navy authors died January 8, 2023. I have his "Iron Afloat" book and enjoyed reading it. Plus, he taught at East Carolina University, a school near and dear to me as both my parents graduated from there and have a scholarship. Also, two of my cousins are ECU graduates.
DR. WILLIAM NORWOOD "BILL" STILL JR.
(1932-2023)
Passed away peacefully surrounded by family on January 8.
He was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and got his bachelors degree from Mississippi College and doctorate from the University of Alabama. He spent two years in the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Lake Champlain.
He began his teaching career at the Mississippi State College for Women and moved to Greenville, North Carolina, in 1968 to be a history professor at East Carolina College (now University).
