Hauser, a Yadkin County native and retired educator and former legisla tor during a meeting at the Yadkin County Public Library in Yadkinviile. The interview was held in connection with the society's plans for one of its next projects: "People of Color - Part 2." The society is collecting information about people, their families and events that was not included in the society's "People of Color" book pub lished last June. The society asked Hauser questions about his family, educational experiences, social settings sur rounding the church in which he was raised, his achievements and awards. Hauser said he was . greatly influenced by poster that hung on the wall df his parents' home, which read: "Character is higher than intellect" He said his parents sent 10 or their 13 children out of the county to get a high school education before Yadkin county pro vided a high school for blacks. He said their caring .attitude caused them to invite a blind neighbor, two of his parents' sisters, and three of his cousins to live in their home. During a period of questions from the audi-' ence, Hauser said, "I would tell black parents that if the child is not manifestly deficient, he has the poten tial to become anything he really wants to become, as most individuals develop -and use less than ten percent of their potential." When asked about his disappointments, Hauser C anHiriatf School or to become a warrant officer while he was in the Armed Services, He also mentioned a year's delay in getting his doctoral degree, although he had rented his robe and made plans to attend the ceremony. Hauser said that his response to these disappoint ments was "All things work together for good for those who love the Lord. If I had become a warrant officer, I may have been shipped to the South Pacific. And if I had gotten my doctoral degree in 1955, 1 may have remained In South Carolina. If either had hap pened, I may not be living today." To the question. What would you want people to say about you today,' Hauser said, "They can say that Andrew Mac kit (left) and Raphael H.
