Special Screening: An Act of Love
2025-10-27 17:30 - 20:30 | Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center, 1192 US-64 W, Pittsboro, NC, 27312, United States
Join heart2heartnc as they kick off this year’s road to Death Faire with a Special Screening: An Act of Love on Mon, Oct 27, 5:30pm-8:30pm at the Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center. Produced by Transitions LifeCare, “An Act of Love: Talking with Your Family About Serious Illness and End of Life” is a 25-minute documentary that explores the lived experiences of individuals from Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, and rural communities as they navigate hospice and palliative care. Drawing on the personal stories of people living in the Triangle area, the film sheds light on common misconceptions and the cultural silence that often surrounds end-of-life care in these underserved communities.
Narrated by Grammy-nominated jazz artist Nnenna Freelon, the film amplifies a chorus of voices—families, caregivers, spiritual leaders, and healthcare professionals—offering a compassionate and multifaceted view of this critical time in life. These stories are especially timely in light of findings from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), which show that Black Americans on Medicare are 13% less likely to use hospice and palliative care than their white counterparts—a disparity that underscores the urgent need for culturally sensitive outreach and education.
This free event is co-sponsored by heart2heartnc, WEBB Squared, El Vinculo Hispano/Hispanic Liaison, and The Fenwick Foundation. The evening will feature music by Diali Keba Cissokho and Will Ridenour, light finger foods by Scurlock’s Catering of Pittsboro, and will conclude with a discussion and Q&A following the screening. ​

Justin Laborde: Scattered Far and Wide
2025-10-25 11:00 - 12:00 | McIntyre’s Books, 220 Market Street, Pittsboro, NC, 27312, United States
Join McIntyre’s Books for Justin Laborde: Scattered Far and Wide – The Naval Academy Class of ’38 at War on Sat, Oct 25, 11am-12pm.
BOOK SUMMARY

Scattered Far and Wide follows the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1938 as they rise from junior officers to combat leaders in World War II’s most pivotal battles. Through firsthand accounts and deep research, Justin Laborde brings their stories of courage, sacrifice, and survival vividly to life.
Scattered Far and Wide tells the war stories of U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen from the Class of 1938. Commissioned on the eve of World War II, they bore the new burden of command while at the forefront of the Pacific War’s most significant and most pivotal campaigns. They felt the wind and spray in their faces, and the percussion of ships’ guns and depth charges at the pivotal moment in their lives and careers, making their experiences unusually compelling, heartbreaking, and—most assuredly—instructive.
From Pearl Harbor through the end of the war, these men fought and struggled for survival as part of the U.S. Navy’s Asiatic Fleet. In the early months of the conflict, they tried to stem the onslaught of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Some were captured and sent to brutal prisoner-of-war camps. Others took to the air from aircraft carriers as members of torpedo, bomber, and fighter squadrons during the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. Later in the war, a number served aboard submarines, experiencing some of the most legendary patrols in the history of the Silent Service. The young men who graduated from the Naval Academy in 1938 earned medals and fame, left legacies of heroism and loss, and sparked tales of renown and bravery that reverberate today.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Justin Laborde, PhD, is a strategic consultant and frequent speaker on consumer trends, marketplace insights, and business growth strategies for Fortune 500 companies. Raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Justin now lives with his wife, Amanda, and their three children in Cary, North Carolina. Justin’s grandfather, Alden Laborde, was a member of the Class of 1938. Upon his death, Justin obtained a 1938 edition of The Lucky Bag, the Naval Academy’s yearbook. Reading the memoirs of Alden’s classmates, Justin realized he was well-placed to tell the fascinating and previously unreported story of this class’s experiences in World War II.

BOOK SUMMARY

Alexa Glock is teetering on a precipice, the ground threatening to open up beneath her―and it’s not just the immediate peril of retrieving a long-lost hiker’s skull, given up by a melting and dangerous glacier. She’s spending a ski weekend with boyfriend DI Bruce Horne and his two daughters, and she couldn’t be more terrified. An entire weekend trying to win over a sullen teenager and a preteen with obvious loyalties to Mom? She’s more comfortable, almost sliding to her death on an unstable glacier. When she indeed finds herself dangling in a crevasse waiting for the experts to rescue her, she discovers a pelvis (wearing a red Speedo!) frozen in the ice, and the heartbreaking task of identifying multiple remains and bringing closure to families begins.
Once safely back on terra firma, awaiting the arrival of Bruce and his dreaded daughters, Alexa follows the smell of smoke to a nearby pizza joint which has been completely destroyed by fire. When a body is discovered in the smoldering ruins, Alexa splits her time between fire and ice, working to identify a family’s long-lost loved one and the charred remains of the fire victim. Then an avalanche during a snowboard competition leaves Bruce’s oldest daughter missing along with the snowboarder she’s been hanging out with. As Bruce and other rescuers race to find the missing teens, evidence begins to suggest that neither the fire nor the avalanche were accidents, and that the daughter’s boyfriend might have information about both…
