HISTORIC TRIANGLE The Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra and Williamsburg-James City County Schools have partnered to promote March’s “Music In Our Schools Month” by addressing social and emotional health through music education.
For years, the Williamsburg Symphony Orchestra (WSO) has partnered with WJCC public schools for their “Peter and the Wolf” program, during which music students rehearse and perform concerts with professional musicians.

James Richard ‘Dick’ Storey Sr.
WILLIAMSBURG James Richard “Dick” Storey Sr., 93, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2021. He was born July 2, 1927, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to James Robert and Mildred Ethel (Strawbridge) Storey.
The second of two children, he grew up spending summers at a family cottage in Dauphin, Pennsylvania, on the Susquehanna River, where he learned to love swimming, rowing and outdoor life.
He was a precocious student. He skipped a grade and graduated early from John Harris High School to start college at Penn State before enlisting in the U.S. Navy. He never saw combat duty, but liked to say that when he finished Basic Training, the Germans became alarmed and surrendered, and when he finished Specialist Training three months later, the Japanese became alarmed and surrendered.
