The SCHM is hosting a one-woman show about the sinking of the TITANIC on August 18th at 3:00 p.m. The event will be held in the auditorium at the Clinton city hall. Seating is limited.

Julie Hedgepeth Williams grew up hearing her great-uncle Albert Caldwell tell about his survival of the Titanic, along with his wife and baby. Julie retells his story today by performing as Albert's wife, Sylvia, in a one-woman show. You might recall Julie's name from many years ago. She lived in Clinton from 1981-1988, where she was a reporter and then an editor for The Sampson Independent.
