Ilwenty years later.
Miller Allen lives near
another branch-but
this stream runs near
his own home, where
he lives with his family:
Alice, his wife of 18
years; Debra, a junior
honor student at East
Forsyth; and son Miller
Donnell, age ten.
Nearly 20 years ago.
Miller Allen began
working for Duke Pow
er Company as a jani
tor. The company soon
promoted him to meter
reader, a job he kept for
ten years.
‘ T was dog-bitten
three times,” he re
calls. “Dogs and cold
weather are the worst
things about meter
reading. Sometimes in
the winter, I would
have to scrape the ice
off the meters to read
them.”
Despite aU the hard
ships, he went nine
years without missing a
day’s work—until the
flu finally caught up
vrith him. Still, he esti
mates that he hasn’t
missed 20 days in as
many years.
Recently Mr. Allen
embarked on a new
venture—that of a part-
time minister at the
Glorious Church of God
at 2715 Manchester
Street. He preached his
first sermon not long
ago.
“I didn’t exactly
have stage fright,” he
said. “The hardest
part, really, was decid- -
ing what to say.”
In order to get an
inspiration, he thought,
meditated, but: “Most
ly you go by faith.”
He still works at
Duke Power—now as a
salesman in the office
on Liberty Walk, so he
works with people aU
day, an experience he
obviously enjoys. In
fact, in considering his
eventual retirement
from Duke Power, he
contemplates starting a
second career: that of
helping people.
“There are so many
things to be done for
people in this city,” he
says urgently. “The
senior citizens in East
Gate—in the high rise—
they need transporta
tion to doctor’s appoint
ments, someone to help
them dean—so many
things. I’d like to get a
group of retired per
sons together and just
help people.
Miller Allen at his desk in the Duke Power office brings years of experience and
a love for people to his work.
