To me, Madison County has always meant "home" because my roots that I grew from are there, and although I've lived away for many years, it has never been far out of my mind. Who could ever forget those wonderful people who live there, good neighbors, good friends, who know every body and every thing that goes on, not because they are nosey people, or even meddlesome, but because they are interested in the welfare of others and in their community? That's the kind of people they are. Empathy is a way of life for them and things like the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments will never go out of style. These people would never un derstand how life could ever be so impersonal as it is sometimes in the city, with it's fast moving pace, where one can live for years next door to people and never get to know them. To them this would be unthinkable. I've always been proud to say I'm from Madison County, and I'm looking forward to going back one day to live. Was it Thomas Wolfe who said, "You can't go home again?" Well, be was right; one can't go back to home as it once was, because it isn't there anymore, but one can go back, and that's what I intend to do. And I know Madison County hasn't changed too much from the way I remember it and loved it. When I visited there for a few days last Summer, I felt like I was back where I belonged. Marshall is still the same. The courthouse is still the same, with it's fountain in front and benches along the sidewalk. People still come from everywhere into town on Saturdays and everybody knows everybody else, or if they don't, they soon do, because being friendly just comes naturally to people there. Ajjd they never forlet you. J Madison County is especially beautiful this time of year. "God's Country" some have called it, meaning that it's so far away from things. To me, "God's Country" suits it fine, but for a different reason. For where else could all this beauty, this serenity have come, but from God? I think Mars HU1 just has to be one of the most beautiful small towns in the world. And a drive through the coun tryside, over those curving roads is a therapy in it's self. With the beauty, the peacefulness of it all just sinking into your whole being, and bringing with it such a wonderful sense of calm and relaxation. You just can't help yourself. Before you know it, it has already happened. Remembering Madison County always brings to mind so many people, far too many to mention here, but one of the first I think about is Dr. Sams, our family doctor. A won derful person who ministered to the sick faithfully, sometimes riding for long, exhausting miles on a mule or a horse over roads that a car could not possibly get through. Besides not many people had cars in those days. But Dr. Sams was always cheerful, with a brand of humor all his own. I don't think I will ever forget the time, when I was just a little girl, that he ex plained how he came by the startling white streak that stood out so boldly against the blackness of his hair. "Got kicked by a mule," he said, with his special laugh that I don't think anyone else will ever be able imitate, There was Just no body like Dr. Sams. And somehow even those of us who weren't sick felt better after he was there, for he was never in such a hurry that he couldn't find time to visit a little while. The last time I saw him was about twenty years ago, when I was visiting my late husband's family on Big Pine and I went with my mother-in-law for her check-up. It amazed me that he seemed so delighted to see me, and more so that he even remembered me at all. But he wanted to know all about me and my family and their where abouts. "I've been keeping up with you and I wanted to tell you I'm proud of you," he said. I knew he meant it, and it pleased me very much. That's the kind of person he was, interested in people. I was saddened to read of his death a few years back. He was a special kind of person that touched the lives of so many people and made them better in more ways than one. I don't think Madison County will ever see the likes of him again. And I am proud that I was allowed to knqy him. .

Although its staff deals many times with severe emotional problems, the main focus of the Center's activity is prevention of illness and preservation of mental health. But what is mental health?
