Abstract:

Renovations to buildings in North Wilkesboro and Greenville uncovered murals bearing the brands of soft drinks, the latter still serving as a backdrop for nearby diners. They’re also a reflection of the long time importance of this industry in the region and families who helped to put Coke and Pepsi on the national map.

Abstract:

A note of thanks could be expressed because of more than monetary donations. There was the establishment of Minges Coliseum and Scales Field House, which hosted the golden age of ECU sports. Particularly credited for heralding in this age was Coach Clarence “Stas” Stasvich, who led three consecutive 9-1 seasons and bowl games.
