Parkview Baptist Middle School teacher Bentley Brown’s eighth grade World War II History class is the winner of LPB’s The War Multimedia Contest. The students who created the entry were Matt Smith, Tyler Waguespack, Blake Beddingfield and Cade McKernan.

The winning video centered on the story of Tyler’s grandfather Aswell Joseph “Jack” Waguespack who served on the U.S.S. Quincy in the Pacific Theater during World War II. He survived the sinking of the New Orleans Class Cruiser off the coast of the Solomon Islands in 1942 and later served on the U.S.S. Santa Fe.

The students and their classmates received a pizza party, LPB T-shirts and a gift card to the Mall of Louisiana while their teacher received a DVD copy of The War series and a copy of LPB’s documentary Louisiana World War II Stories.
