Author and former St. Olaf faculty member Bill Cupp will be signing his new book, A Wartime Journey: Bail-Out Over Belgium, in the St. Olaf Bookstore from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5. Cupp, who taught sociology at St. Olaf from 1964-75, recounts his World War II experience in A Wartime Journey. After being shot down over Europe in 1944, Cupp evaded the German army with the help of the Belgian Resistance for 10 months only to end up in a prison camp. His odyssey ended with a 500-mile forced winter march to the American lines.
