In reading stories about the
Slocks murder trial at Greenville
during recent days, it might have
occurred to you that the name erf
Harvey (Duck) Lewis sounded
strangely familiar.
Duck—or Ducky as he was
;fcnown by 30 years ago—was one of
Ihe best High school halfbacks to
ever run wild on the gridiron at
Kafer Park. He starred for a Tar-
boro eleven that was strictly run
of the mill, but his presence on the
learn was enough to give the local
Bears several unhappy afternoons.
As the saying goes he was built
as loose as a goose. He used his
long legs and elusive hips to good

advantage, and rarely did he sweep
i&round end without picking up
plenty of yardage.
Despite the ravoc he raised with
New Bern’s football hopes, he was
liked here socially. He never miss
ed a dance here, and later booked
bands for countless shindigs here
and elsewhere.
Even in his High school days,
Lewis was a natural born promoter.
Currently he is executive secretary
of the North Carolina Motel As
sociation, and you may rest as
sured that he is beating the drums
incessantly to^attract business for
Tar Heel operators of these com
paratively new roadside institu
tions. r
If you’ve been reading the front
page of the News and Observer and
other State papers, you know that
Ducky was a star witness for the
aforementioned murder trial.
He got into the case the hard
way. He happened to be guest in
the home where the former wife
of Thomas A. Stocks was staying
when Stocks allegedly barged into
the house, fired a bullet through
Ducky’s body, and allegedly forced
his ex-wife (Helen Edwards) to
drive away with him. She was
later found slain—sprawled on a
sheet of ice in the chill December
air.
