‘‘Mr. HiWs significant contribution to his fellowman is to be applauded. ” On the Camptis First recipient gives unselfishly to community Continued from page I Bob Hill stated that his brother has served as a teacher throughout his life. “As co-owner of a building supply and contracting firm, Hiram was always the ‘teacher’ for helping young men qualify for their electrical, plumbing, and air- conditioning licenses,” he said proudly. “Upon Hiram’s retirement from business,” Hill continued, “he developed a hobby of computers and has become very knowledgeable in the field. Again, he has shared this knowl edge with his church, the Murfreesboro Histori cal Association, and with Chowan College.” Diane Dixon, secretary of Murfreesboro Baptist Church and a member of the Hertford County alumni chapter, explained that when someone calls for help. Hill’s usual response is “I’ll be right there.” Dixon fondly recalled asking Hill how much time he had to assist her with a project. Hill responded by saying, “The rest of my life.” Even though he keeps a busy schedule, Hill often tells a desperate friend, “I’m so glad you called.” Dixon added that when Hill awakens in the morning he probably doesn’t ask, “What am I going to do today?” instead, he must ask, “How am I going to get it all done?” Hill has given many hours of service to Chowan College faculty and staff members. He has assisted individuals with computer questions in their homes and on the campus. George Hazelton, an associate professor of physics, who has enjoyed a close working relationship with Hill, commented, “When we built the network in McSweeney Computer Center, Mr. Hill helped us a great deal—‘just to learn about networks,’ he told me. Over all the years he has been our hardware person. He has given Chowan many, many hours of help and advice on computers. Based on hours on campus, Mr. Hill should be given a B.S. degree with honors.” During the Alumni and Friends Luncheon, Hazelton presented Hill with a framed photo graph made in McSweeney Hall that is “testi mony of the significant help” given to the faculty and staff of the Department of Business. Dr. Davis Smith, pastor of Murfreesboro Baptist Church, summarized the sentiments of many people regarding Hill’s service to the church by stating, “Hiram Hill strengthens the ministry of Murfreesboro Baptist Church through his faithful participation in the worship of God and mission of the church. “He continues to aid and inspire the staff in the use of computers. Hiram Hill is the model of a lifetime learner, teacher, and problem Hill, pictured with his wife, Ruth, is seen frequently through out Murfreesboro on his red bicycle. solver,” he concluded. Hill has served his church as Sunday School teacher and chairman of the board of deacons. Continuing his love for aviation and helping others, he participated in the development of Tri-County Airport, near Ahoskie, and served as chairman of the Airport Authority for a number of years. He also continued to give flying lessons after the construction of the airport. Hill was honored by the Murfreesboro Chamber of Commerce earlier this year with a dinner, during which Joe Vaughn, general manager of The News-Herald presented him the newspaper’s Front Page Award in recognition of outstanding community service.
