Hometown Hero Is

Br Charles R. Jones
The loudest ovations ever given Willie Dean “Pat” White
in football stadiums across the State, were overshadowed here
Sunday by more than 3,000 persons paying final tribute to a
hometown hero who “made good” at home.
When news of the 19-year-old star’s death at 3:38 a. m. last
Thursday ana made known, hundreds of his fans in this area and
across North Carolina, were thrown into a state, closely akin to
shock, although it was widely known that “Pat” was a victim of
cancer.
