Sorority, fraternity house parent to publish WWII adventure book
By JENNIFER MEEHAN

CHAPEL HILL -- Don Gaddo of Chapel Hill has been honored by Queen Elizabeth II and headed the U.S. division of a major NASDAQ corporation.
Now co-house director of the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity chapters at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Gaddo anticipates publication of his first book, which he calls a World War II story of friendship, faith, mystery and romance.
From noon-3 p.m. Sunday (Sept. 26), Gaddo will sign copies of the book at the Tri Sigma house at 307 E. Franklin St. He will read from "Angel: A Mighty Fortress" at 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. He said Palmaya Press will release the book next month.
Gaddo's book tells the true story of a flying fortress crew that was shot down over Germany in 1944. Unexplainable occurrences surrounding the crew both during their missions and after their deaths remain a mystery.
"My cousin was the navigator of Angel," said Gaddo. "I was present during his funeral in June 1949. That day, 50 long years ago, was the inspiration for this story."
Gaddo and his wife, Sharon, have three children and five grandchildren. They have been house parents at Tri Sigma for three years. Gaddo is currently writing his second book, "Unrelated Sisters: A Man's Life in a Women's Sorority." He also has written a screenplay.
