14 1990 Chowan Opener Chowanoka (From Page 12) Baptist Church. He also served two years as an Air Force chaplain with the rank of Captain, and two years as chaplain and professor at religion at Converse College in Spartanburg, S.C. He became popular with students at Chowan because "I took the time to speak with them. I feel I have successfully related with students over the years. Our former department chair. Daisy Lou Mixon, used to say there was a 'heavy run' on my classes because I spent time with the students.” "I replied, 'Aren’t we all supposed to do that?" Dr. Parker received the B.A at Wake Forest University, the B.D. from Yale University, and the Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He is married to Elizabeth Lewis, of Fremont, and they have two daughters, Jenny Motley, the wife of the pastor of First Baptist Church in Boykins, and Mary Parker who works in Washington, D.C. About education. Dr. Parker said, "It is increasingly difficult to motivate students on the two-year level. We need more role models than a solitary or infrequent faculty member. This is one of the reasons Chowan will be helped if it becomes a four-year institution." The professor's degree of relating with students was unique. He once overheard a student saying, "He doesn't know it, but he changed my life." On motivating students, he remarked, "1 did have one student tell me she wasn't going to let either one of us down." According lo Dr. Parker, much of education is 'down the road' and you don't always .see the results right away. If a teachcr accomplishes anything that has value to it, he may not sec the 'harvest' immediately. But, said the professor, this is not important, because you sow the good seed." "Sometimes I have failed, but the Lord has used my failure in positive ways." Dr. Parker lived by these assumptions and a powerful faith in God, and in the good that people can do. It was a well- known fact that he was struggling with the disease of cancer in his life, and it was a fearsome battle with periodic hospitalization. "During my hospitalizations, I have felt the concern of all the collcge family, and from the community," he once said. "These are the finest things - love and friendship. These are gifts. You cannot earn them, they are given." Dr. Earl Parker will be missed by the students, faculty and staff of Chowan College.
