Memoirs

William Kern Holoman (1920-2015) was co-proprietor of the Raleigh department store Boylan-Pearce and rose to the rank of Brigadier General in the North Carolina National Guard. He was an enthusiastic writer and public speaker. His Memoirs of 2010 were built from the long letters he wrote home from France in 1944-45 and much later autobiographical essays, mostly 2003-05, when he was in his 80s. This second edition of his Memoirs includes material identified since 2010. It is edited by D. Kern Holoman, his eldest son.
