KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Join us online to celebrate Wilbur Wright's birthday! We are going to celebrate Wilbur Wright's 153rd birthday online. Lifetime member Alfred Poor will be interviewing Wilbur live on Facebook and YouTube on April 16th at 2:00 PM eastern.
Wilbur will be portrayed by First Flight Society Board Member Paul Carr.
Captain Paul Carr appears as The Spirit of Wilbur Wright and offers a personal story of his life growing up in Dayton, Ohio, the positive influences of his parents, and how the close relationship with his brother Orville combined to forge the path that led to their historical achievements. Beginning with childhood sledding, printing presses, bicycles and kites, audiences will hear and see how the brothers overcame personal tragedy, applied common sense to scientific research, and persevered through failure, danger, and disappointment to solve man's age-old dream to fly. Along the way you will hear about North Carolinians who shared in the Brother's successes as well as their failures. Wilbur will explain how geography, weather, and the isolation of the Outer Banks made it an ideal location for the December 17, 1903 Miracle at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
