First, I am o wife and mother, tb wos olwoys my dreom. Jt i hod nearly given it up •ng before my po$t-00 torrioge neorly 16 yeors 90.

But I hove o trsotile, gifted husband who as given me three ottroctive lildren, full of rhe potenriol to loke Q genuine contribution ithbwortd. My writing problem at present is finding the time and solitude to focus on one subject until it is finished- During the last few months I have started lO or I2 articles for "Reflections”. But, somehow^, I never managed to get back to working on them. And nothing I write these days gets polished enough to really be presentable. Still, I do enjoy writing. afternoons I often work with families'around Maxton. When possible,I spend Wednesday afternoons in the Pembroke area working with the Literacy program. Along with other aspects of this program, I still find rutorirtg adults, youth, or children a thoroughly enjoyable experience. taken the first vital step. They have made a real beginning. They have shown that they want to be guided by the Great Spirit, the Greatest Spirit of all rime and every place, the Creator. Lord and Savior of us oil! of teenage students reminded me the other day. "Time Passes." For years this has been my hope, and dream, and prayer.

Of course, there’s not a lot of leisure time around our house. While the rest of the family are busy at their three respective Pembroke schools, I am riding, at least four days a week, on one of the Center’s Senior Citizens vans. With the county van we go to Maxton and Pembroke on Mondays. Rowland on Tuesdays, St. Pauls on Thursday and the Parkton-Red Springs area on Friday. However, on Wednesday and Friday, I often work with Mr. Herman Maynor on the Lumberton van. Five days a week he takes Senior Citizens to and from Tudor Court and Eastwood Terrace, where Ate riders go for lunch and fellowship. Only, for me these days, it seems to be roclng so fast that I can only catch a glimpse of each separate event. When you have two teenagers and one "almost-teen”, life seems to flash by like bursts of lightning or clicks of a camera. Even now, with the fciim, our yard, ar)d the rood to our house buried underwater, I hove o lotto be thankful for. Here are some of our family’s "happenings" during a recent two-week period; Twelve -year-old Gordon announced that he was on the "Graded School” softball team. A few days later he was working on a special science project. observes 7th birthdoy with classmates I helped Wanda Kay get ready for the Ninthi Grade Banquet at the Junior High. ^ot really shocked me wos P e^Klomorion. "I know a iter!” II have to admit it was fun ring the tables turned foronce. (1 know I was not really that Iktrtam. I’m just an ordinary Jon whose mind goes on ting whether or not anything I on paper. My mind, it •ns, must process? incoming t, then pass the results on for Sts to analyze and evaluate in •nilar process. for me, putting thoughts on er is a mental and emotional a chance to sort out my '•ghts as I go along from day to As one of the drivers helpers, I have records to keep for the government reports. Many of our physically handicapped passengers need help getting on and off the vans. All our riders seem glad to have someone to help them around such agencies as the social security and food stamp services. Some go to the County Health Clinic or the Mental Health Center. Many need help getting to the dentist, the eye doctor, some other specialists, or a general practitioner. We often take a rider to the County Courthouse to get a copy of a birth certificate. • Besides the warm words of gratitude, I find areal satisfaction in helping persbns to find solutions to their problems. Unlike other long-term Leon and I watched Donny during three events at the Senior High- He took part in a Health Careers Club service explaining the green and gold emblem, marching in the Junior ROTC Awards Day program, and along with many others at the Athletic Awards Banquet, received a letter for participating on the track team. The next Tuesday night he brought home a medal he had won as a member of the PSHS Relay Team at a track meet held in Lumberton. However, the most memorable experience for me during these two weeks occurred on Mother’s Day. Appropriately, my family paid for developing the color pictures 1 finolly took of the spring time flowers in our area. This was a thoughful gift'for Mother’s Day. Mlchoel S«Qn Doker, son of Mr. ond Mrs. Archie C. Boker celebrated his 7th birthdoy or programs. 1 the vans we are usually able to accomplish what ,we set out to do in only a few hours time. But the best gift of all came to me as a surprise at church on Mother’s Day morning. After the regular service all three children, along with serveral other young people, went forward to be baptized and take the vows of church membership. 2m grateful for these oitunities: to take the PSU ting Workshop last summer After finishing with the van each day, I am free to work with the Literacy and Publicity programs. On Monday They have not changed a lot since then. They are still very human. Like their parents, they are still making plenty of mistakes from day to day. But they hove Wednesday, Moy Prospect School where he is o student. Helping Mike enjoy his doy were 2 / of his clossmotes, his teochers, Ms. Horvelene Dullard ond Mrs. Solly Dullord. Other guest were Gwen Diol, Mrs. Samuel Locklear, Jr., Debro, Kris ond Jomes Doker, Robin Dullard. The children enjoyed birthdoy coke, party squares, pototo chips, corn cheese, drinks ond punch. Each child received o party favor. Colling to wish Mike o happy birthdoy were his sisters, Joan M. Doker of Chopel Hill and Ms. Jacquelyn D. Strickland and Dillie Jo of Roleigh.
