Page Four The Caromount News DECEMBER, 19 Lancey Winstead of the Caro- inount Finishing Department came to work here in October, 1945 shortly after his discharge from the United States Army. Lancey was born in Nash County on March 16, 1921. He attended Nash County Schools and worked on his father’s farm until he entered the Army on September 2, 1942. He had quite an interesting Army experience. He trained in the mountains of Colorado with a service supply Company using pack mules to carry supplies in mountainous country where it was too rough for trucks to travel. He put this training in to practice in the mountains of Italy where they moved supplies by pack mules. He was awarded three campaign stars. One each for the North Apennines, Po Val ley, and the Aleutians Campaign. On January 4, 1944 he was married to Mary Estelle Murray, also of Nash County. They have one daughter, Carolyn Jeanette, 4 years old. For recreation he especially likes bird hunting. He has four good dogs, two pointers and two setters. He is looking forward to a good season this year. He also enjoys fishing and just re cently he and his wife hauled in more than 100 pounds of spots in one day’s fishing. Lancey works second shift and has time to care for a good gar den during the morning. He and his wife have also canned quite a bit for the winter months. Lancey stopped school before completing high school but is now making up for it by taking a correspondence course. His wife, Estelle, is employed in the Caromount Weaving De partment.
