Reunion
from puRe A I
bers. Davis, Howard and
Hentz say they can all testi
fy to the great impact the
Winston Lake Family Y -
the county's decades old his
torically black facility - has
had on their lives.
Davis, a father of three,
remembers coming to the Y
everyday as a youngster. He
lived in the City View com
munity, which is a stone's
throw away from the
Waterworks Road facility.
"My whole neighborhood
was at the Y when 1 was
coming up." said Davis.
"We used to get in packs of
10 or 20 and walk down
here."
Hentz, 67, landed his
first job at the Y. making 60
cents an hour as a youth
counselor. He was hired by
Moses "Mo" Lucas, a long
time Y personality who has
served as a mentor to count
less young people over his
50-plus years with the
Winston Lake Y.
"Mo gave me my first
job here, and I ain't left the
Y since," declared Hentz, a
retired bartender and one of
seven children. "I've been
here all my life; when I was
coming up, it was all I had."
Hentz and Davis, both
the products of single parent
homes, said Lucas filled a
void in their lives. Lucas'
legendary tough love has
been credited by many for
keeping them in-line and on
the right side of the law.
"That's the only guy I've
ever seen that can whup your
rump and still keep a cigar in
his mouth." Hentz said with
a chuckle. "...He'd bust a
ping pong paddle every day
on us."
Organizers will be paying
homage to Lucas, the
founder of the Boss
Drummers. during the
Reunion. The tribute will be
special. Lucas, who is in his
80s, recently had a kidney
removed. but was back at the
Y as soon as doctors gave
him the OK.
Roberts
"We want to get every
body back home," Davis
said. "But most important
ly, we want to honor Mo."
Membership Director
Jolyn Roberts said Winston
Lake Y leaders are thrilled to
have their members display
such a strong show of sup
port.
"It feels good that the
passion is still there for
Winston Lake, that people
still have that passion and
they want to see us grow and
the members are taking the
initiative to do these
things," said Roberts, who
has been with the Y organi
zation for the last 1 1 years.
"We're looking forward to
this opportunity just to have
people from the Y come back
in and see the programs we
have now. It's an opportu
nity for them to get recon
nected to the place they grew
up in."
Organizers mr still look
ing for men1 players to take
part in the Reunion basket
ball game, a single elimina
tion tournament . For more
