Comments:

Attended Furman U and UNC-G with a BS and MS in Home Economics. Taught 2 years, took a leave for 15 years to raise three daughters, taught 17 more years After retiring I formed a community garden to raise product for a food pantry in Pittsboro, NC

School Story:

The school story I would like to forget is one I remember. I was expelled from GHS for talking back to Mr. Harding, my homeroom teacher. Fortunately, I got off light with a stern lecture from Mr. Smith (assistant principal). My mother finds it funny to relay the story to my children and grandkids. If this had happened today, no one would pay any attention.

What did you always want to do that you haven't done yet?

Hike the Appalachian Trail

What is the farthest you have been from GHS?

England, Quatamala

What is your favorite memory from GHS?

Hanging out with my neighbors/ school mates-Ron Beaver and his little sister , Melvin Threatt, Brenda Baucom,Harriet Baugh, and Judy Cox

So sorry to hear of James' passing.  He lived a full life serving others.  Hope that can be said of all of us when our time comes.

My best to the Pickard family.  I know you are proud of him.

Keep safe,

Carol Stainback Newnam,  (carol.newnam@gmail.com)

Hope this day is a wonderful one for you. Sometimes it seems like it was yesterday when we moved next door to you. I must have been at your house a lot during those days. I remember my Dad telling me I could not go to your house unless I was invited. Think we will make it to 100? Carol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I heard that you published a book. Is that the same one you sent me a draft of? This is impressive. Carol
