Appreciation for service When Ix)ckwood Peele and Bill Foy retired recently after working 40 years with North State Provision Company, Ahoskie, their long-time services to Chowan College were not forgotten. Peele and Foy were presented certificates of appreciation from Business Manager Ben C. Sutton and Ron Thompson, cafeteria manager, for “going beyond the call of duty to help Chowan,” in Sutton’s words. During their 40 years with North State, the firm grew to become a major supplier to Chowan’s cafeteria. “Throughout the area, people know them and think well of them,” Sutton declared. Foy served as a salesman and vice president and Peele as president. Sutton said Chowan continues to enjoy a very good business relationship with North State. He explained that when the college reopened in 1949, North State established “very favorable credit terms to assist Chowan. We could buy in the summer and pay in the fall.” He explained if the college was short on a food product. North State would meet a cafeteria staff member halfway at the Potecasi bridge to deliver the item. Sutton said this is one example of the commitment of Peel and Foy to Chowan. He said the two Ahoskie men and the company have made “a fine commitment to the college including support of the development program. Annual Giving Fund and the building campaigns. “They were always the first to answer the call when we had a need at the college,” Sutton stated. The two Ahoskie residents con tinue as members of the company’s Board of Directors, according to president Harding Wood. He echoed Sutton’s praise of Peele and Foy. “They are well liked and have developed a close relationship with Chowan and the community. They always put their customers first.” Wood said the giving of the certificates was a very fine gesture by Chowan to express gratitude to Bill Foy and Lockwood Peele. Dr. Gail E.

The young author said for three years after the publication of “Ellen Foster” she denied she was Ellen. “I told people that I had a great imagination and I had thought up the entire story,” she said to her afternoon audience. Last May, she finally decided to reveal the truth that the story of Ellen’s family abuse was really her own, “filtered through my imagination.” She said she paid the price for her honesty. “I thought that if 1 told the truth the whole thing would go away. But from then on, everyone wanted to know all about my early life.” She revealed a love for the South and respect for Southerners. She tends to play down language that would portray Southern characters as using “the languages of Uncle Remus.” Her husband is from the north (“1 almost called him a Yankee," she laughed). She said she enjoys explaining Southern customs and manners to him. She said she does her writing at night “except when I’m tired,” which can be often since she is the mother of three children, ages four and one-half, two and seven months. 2—CHOWAN TODAY, December, 1989
