Whiteville and Columbus County lost a good man when Bill McCraw died last week. An example oi his impact can be seen in the recent Red Cross blood drive at Whiteville High School,, which was dedicated to McCraw, a longtime supporter of Red Cross blood drives. A total of 188 units of blood were collected at the event held in his honor—the highest number of units ever collected from a single visit in Columbus County. Tuesday night, at a called school board meeting to discuss person nel, the Whiteville City Board of Education adopted the following resolution: “Whereas, William P. ‘Bill’ Mc Craw began his employment with the Whiteville City Schools on August 15,1977; and, “Whereas, Bill McCraw, from the very beginning, exhibited a sense of caring and concern for both students and co-workers alike, whether in his role of guidance counselor or while coaching his tennis teams; and, “Whereas, Bill McCraw was a most conscientious individual, always striving to do his best, never seeking glory and acclaim for himself, but working to help students achieve their potential and their dreams; and,^ “Whereas, Bill McCraw was a kind and gentle man who, daily, practiced, the Golden Rule; and, “Whereas, the example set by his courage, strength and faith, amidst adversity, cheered his col leagues; “Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Whiteville City Board of Education commends William P. McCraw and recognizes the good works that he accomplished at Whiteville High School. His memory will serve to strengthen those who knew and loved him, and his spirit of godliness will inrpire us for all seasons.” May 30,1985 THE CHOWANIAN Murfreesboro, North Carolina Newsmagazine of Chowan College ir.
