1988 AC Phoenix
Senior Citizen Of The Year
C.E. Graham, 90, is
the 1988 AC Phoenix
Senior Citizen of the
Year. Graham was cho
sen by the AC Phoenix
staff because he exem
plifies the attitude and
values that we want to
live by. Mr. Graham, who
still cuts hair at Graham
Brothers Barbershop, at
220 E. 4th St. daily, al
ways has a kind word or
words of wisdom for all
that sit in his chair. He is
not only a barber, he Is a
listener, a philosopher,
a counselor and some
one you can call a dear
friend.
C.E. Graham is a firm
believer in education.
He often talks about
sending all eight of his
children to college. He
oftenends this saga by
telling that seven of the
eight received a de
gree. The one that did
not graduate was
drafted into service
close to the time he
would have completed
his curriculum.
Mr. Graham is a mem
ber of Mt. Zion Baptist
Church, where Dr.
Serenus Churn is pas
tor. Mr. Graham, who
drives a '57 Chevy,
credits long life to good
clean living and hard
work.
