The Crest Street metamorpho
sis has become a national example
of urban planning at its best. The
community is the only one in
Durham that celebrates communi
niy^day^bjr honoring" residents for
aheir achievements in education,
'athletics and neighborhood
improvement.
William A. Clement submit
ted the application nominating Mr.
Patterson and Dr. Reid. The duo
are credits to their immunity,
said Mr. Clement who shared in
the presentation of the award to
the gentlemen.
"When they went to work
they fought city hall, the trans
portation department and the fed
eral government," Mr. Clement
said. "The community has been
inspired and motivated under the
r
around."
"She touches the insides of
people in a way that makes them
reach inside themselves and* pull
out the good," said friend Dore'en
Robinson.
In addiiiotr kf her duties as
teacher in the kindergarten to 12th
grade school on the island on
North Carolina's east coast, Ms.
Lovejoy visits the elderly regular
ly, and she and husband David
Frum founded a running club that
takes Ocracoke's youth to compe
titions across the state.
"When I first heard about my
nomination for the award I was
flattered, and a bit overwhelmed,"
Ms. Lovejoy said. "But now that I
know, finally, who the other win
ners are, I feel so honored to share
this day with those three men."
Mr. Teachout has devoted the
Karen Lovejoy
leadership of these two men."
Both men were humbled
when they accepted their awards.
"I am speechless," Mr. Patter
son said, a tear running down his
cheek. "I can not express in words
how I feel right now."
"I'm not going to take a text
because if I do I'll have to take an
offering," said the Rev. Reid. "I
never dreamed that I would be
standing here today - or any day -
with Mr. Patterson to receive this
joint award from this grand enter
prise. But we are grateful.
"We never felt that we were
working in order that we might
receive something. Receiving was
not the idea. The only thing before
us was to erase an ugliness that
existed in the community."
Since Karen Lovejoy arrived
on Ocracokc Island 10 years ago,
the spccial education teacher has
taught herself braille to work with
a little boy who suffers from a
degenerative eye disease, and she
taught a deaf student, his family
and friends sign language so he
could live on the island and not be
moved eight hours away to a spe
cial school, 1 ,
"Karen Lovejoy is my friend
and all who know her would say
the same thing," said Philip
Howard. "Karen has had a major
impact on Ocracoke. Kare^Love

Leo J. Teachout
last six years of his life to caring'
for people with Acquired Immune
Deficiency and trying to prevent
the spread of the deadly Human
Immuno-deficiency Virus. He is
the executive director of GROW,
a gay and lesbian support group
based in Wilmington.
"Leo Teachout is a true saint,"
said one Duke Medical Center
pediatrician familiar with
GROW's efforts. "He is the most
exceptional person with whom we
have been associated, and, believe
me, we have worked with some
outstanding people. He gives so
freely of himself without a com
plaint. No one even comes close
to his level of self sacrifice."
"My " grandmother passed
away several years ago and she
was a special person in my life,"
Mr. Teachout. said when he
accepted the award. "She taught
me one very important thing: she
taught me to live so that those I
came in touch with would be bet
ter off.
"This award from this very
important and very famous family
in our state is recognizing not
only myself but also that very,
very special woman in my life."
Each*award recipient was pre
scnted with-a bust of Ms.
Reynolds sculpted by a local artist
and $25,000, of which $20,000 is
designated to charities of the win
ner's choicc.
