Overview
On Sept. 16, 1942, [Rich Dixon], a Navy plane captain, found himself floating alone in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. The aircraft carrier he had been on was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine and sank off the coast of Guadalcanal. Last school year a total of 40,516 volunteer hours were recorded in Brunswick County, a nearly 28 percent increase from the 2004-05 school year, according to Ardith Shaw with Brunswick County Communities in Schools. Volunteers logged 190,632 hours in New Hanover County schools during the 2005-06 academic year, said Ellen Smith, coordinator of New Hanover County Community Schools.\"It's up almost 20,000 from the previous school year,\" she said.
