, Patterson YMCA Executive Director Richard F.
Glover has been offered the directorship of the
Hunton YMCA in Norfolk, Va., a Hunton official
said Tuesday. Acting Hunton Executive Director
Henry Davis said all that remains to be determined
is Glover's salary.
Glover, who would neither confirm nor deny the
report, has been the Patterson YMCA*s director for
nine years. He resigned on Dec. 18 to "pursue new
career opportunities within the YMCA
profession," said a YMCA press release.
But some members of the Patterson YMCA's
Board of Management have contended that Glover
was forced to resign.
Glover, 41, came to Winston-Salem in 1976 from
Beaumont, Texas, where he served as executive

Darryl Hunt Detensi
By ROBIN ADAMS
Chronicle Assistant Editor
A group of local residents has formed a Darryl
Eugene Hunt Defense Committee on^ehalf of the
19-year-old black defendant in a controversial rape
and murder case.
Hunt was charged on Sept. 14 with the Aug. 10
murder and rape of Winston-Salem Sentinel copy
editor Deborah Brothtrton Sykes.
The group, under the direction of North Ward
Alderman Larry Little, was formed last Thursday
night at a community meeting at Lloyd

in attendance raised more than $1,200 for the Hunt
Defense Fund, which also was recently established
with Little's help.
The money will not be used to pay attorney's
fees, Little has said, but will instead help pay for in-?
vestigators and expert witnesses.
"We need this kind of group," said Lola Mae
Smith, secretary of the Liberty-Patterson
Neighborhood Association (Hunt is from the*
Liberty-Patterson area). "I think this is wonderful.
