C. M. Luther Begins Retirement With Hole In One
Charlie M. Luther, long-time Fieldcrest employee, started
his retirement in a grand manner.
Mr. Luther, who took early retirement effective May
scored a hole in one while playing at the Dan Valley
Golf
Course. He made the ace on the fifth hole (par 3, 165 yards)
and drove the ball with a No. 4 iron.
“I saw it hit the green, hop three times and go out of sighf'
I thought it went off,” Mr. Luther said. “The fellows playia®
with me said it went in the cup but I didn’t believe it. The
green was over a little hill, so I couldn’t tell what happened.
The lucky ball, a “Titleist”, has been sent to the manufactuf'
er for mounting and Mr. Luther is anxiously awaiting the re'
turn of the memento.
