LRD A In Action
FROM MISS LUMBEE TO MISS UTAH
dMghrer of lii^i Mr*. Jim H. IfJ'lM"
BY LEW BAKTON
I met Miss Utah 1980 twenty-two
years ago. She was several days old,
quite cute and chubby, and occupied a
twin crib right beside that of her
identical twin sister. Jean and Joan
Bullard were the lovely little daughters
of my boss (Mr. S.M. Bullard) and my
cousin (Mrs. Rosa Una Dial Bullard.) I
presented the cuddly, tiny curies with a
silver dollar each for luck, dollar coins
which they still have in their baby books
today.
For whatever reason or reasons, some
good fortune baa come the way of both
girls. For one thing, Jean and Joan still
sing beautifully together, and do it
every time they get a chance to spend
some time together. They also play
piano and dance divinely.
But love and career have finally
separated them, tho perhaps just
temporarily. Joan is now happily
married and has a cute little daughter of
her own. Jean will be receiving her
double-music-major degree from Brig
ham Young University later this year.
Meanwhile, Jean, who started taking
band the year she was in the fifth grade,
has continued her musical education
until the present. She hopes to make it
home in time for the Lumbee Home- ,
coming 1980, but doesn't know as yet
whether her tight schedule and favora
ble flight connections will allow it. She
. will be here in spirit, tho, however it
turns out.
Naturally, we are all happy for
Jean-and for ourselves--at L.R.D.A. It
is quite a leap upward from Miss
Lumbee to Miss Utah. And for the first
time, a former Miss Lumbee will be in
competition with other beautiful women
from all over the United States in the
Miss America Pageant
In 1959 when 1 suggested a Miss
Lumbee Beauty Pageant in a newspaper
article, a fellow newsman (non-Indian)
ridiculed the idea imprint. I'd just like to
see his face now I
I've always contended that our Lum
bee women are among the most
beautiful and most talented in the
world. And my own second cousin Jean
Bullard proves my point. Not even to
mention the Lumbee lady who won the
Miss Robeson County title a few years
ago..,to shock the dominant society out
of its wits! The Lumbee lady declined to
accept the title, choosing rather the
Miss Lumbee crown.
Jean has both feet on the ground.
When asked in the Miss Utah Pageant
what she would like to say to other
young people, she replied realistically,
"Take advantage of every opportunity.
You may never have another one."
When asked where she would like to go
if she had an opportunity to go
anywhere in the kvorld, she unhesi
tatingly answered, "The Holy Land."
Jean demonstrates a special care
toward elderly people, her grandmother
Ms. Ina BullarJ"H?,<ig one of her
favorites. She also likes a certain elderly
guy who once gave her a silver coin for
good luck.
Good luck again, Jean! Here's hoping
you become our next Miss America! All
of us at LRDA are still rooting
for you! I have been told that the face of
our Executive Director, Ken Maynor, lit
up like a Christmas tree when he got the
news.
