World War II Veteran William Livingstone Speaks to Anacapa School Breakfast Club
November 11, 2015
Stories teach in remarkable ways. This concept is not new at Anacapa School where community members, speakers, and storytellers are invited regularly for an event called Breakfast Club, an Anacapa tradition at which the entire student body and faculty assemble to learn directly from the people involved in a wide range of real world professions.
Anacapa Breakfast Clubs have hosted politicians, news anchors, environmentalists, professors, movie directors, and countless others who have shared their personal stories and life experiences with Anacapa’s seventh- through 12th-grade students.
This year, in honor of Veteran’s Day, William R. Livingstone, a Santa Barbara resident and World War II veteran whose plane was shot down on his very first mission over Germany on Nov. 2, 1944, and was then held as a prisoner of war (POW), came to speak to Anacapa students.
