while (also) greeting and
meeting residence and
businesses in the north- i
east area." said i
Bazemore.
Wade Armfield. who
owns 'A' self-storage
company next to ESR.
greeted the group with a
smile and indicated he
was glad to have the
agency as a neighbor. He
also commended the staff
for their caring spirit and
ESR for enhancing the
visual footprint of the
street. ESR's primary
objective is to empower
working residents to
achieve economic and
sociil self-sufficiency by
providing them with

Birthday
from page Bl
sons have gone on to
glory. Charles "Richard"
Hamlin died several years
prior to Larry Leon's
passing in 2007. She says
her faith brought her
through. Rev Mack H.L.
McConnel. pastor of
Saint James Missionary
Baptist Church, said her
quiet strength has
inspired others.
"She has encouraged
every one of us to stay '
steadfast." he said during '
the prayer he delivered to
open the celebration. '
Hamlin Johnson's
own pastor. Dr. Sir Walter 1
Mack Jr. of Union Baptist
Church, also led a prayer
and gave words of praise
for one of the most devot
ed among his flock.
"She brings a smile to
all of our faces." said
Mack, who added that
Larry Leon's stage pres
ence and gregariousness
was inherited from his
mother.
Mack and his wife,
Kim. had a busy
Saturday. There was a
funeral, a wedding and
other obligations. But
when it was time for
Hamlin Johnson's get
together. the couple tem
porarily halted every
thing.
"I wouldn't have
missed this for nothing in
this world," Mack said.
Hamlin Johnson
began her remarks stand
ing behind a waist-high
wooded podium.
"I love Jesus Christ. 1
love people," she said
after thanking attendees.
Then, in a moment
that surely would have
made Larry Leon proud,
she stepped from behind
the podium, microphone
in hand, to deliver an
extemporaneous skit ?
complete with one-liners
and a redacted version of
"Stormy Weather."
Hamlin Johnson gave
her guests a charge to
embrace and live by, sim
ple advice that has served
(
ler well.
"You have to be nice
;o people." she said.
"When you are nice to
people, they are nice to
you."
