Have Had Many Addresses * i Former Worren Couple Now Call Tarboro Home , By GEORGE DUDLEY Tarboro, headquarters for Carolina Telephone, is about the only place where Graham and Barbara Overby, Warren Coun ty natives and high school sweethearts, have "stayed put" for any length of time since get ting married in July 1955. Barbara, who grew up in Ar eola, had graduated from John Graham High School the year before, and Graham, from Macon, had picked up his diploma that spring and was working at Leggett's Depart ment Store in Warrenton. The day they got married, July 31, was Barbara's birthday? "makes it easy with presents," Graham says? and "the hottest day in the world," she says. The weather was probably a clue to the job trail Graham began blazing shortly after their marriage, a trek that lead them to their current positions with Carolina Telephone. Graham is building main tenance engineer, a title that means he's in charge of the upkeep of all the buildings in the company? which operated in 50 counties. Barbara is an adminis trative clerk in Carolina Telephone's Corporate Com munications Department. By traditional standards, the Overbys are relative newcomers to Tarboro. They moved here from Ohio in 1979 when Graham was named Carolina Telephone's repair center manager. That was Graham's seventh move since he began running the men's department at Leggett's. Barbara, meanwhile, kept pace with part-time jobs, housekeep ing and mothering. "All the moving has been fascinating," Graham says. "We've learned a great deal about a lot of places, and we have a lot of friends all over. We've gotten to travel . . . and see places we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise." The moving started a year af ter Graham and Barbara were married. After talking to a retired district plant manager in Rocky Mount, Graham ended up landing a job as a central office repairman in Wilson. Subsequently, he accepted positions that took the family to several Eastern North Carolina towns and to Ohio. Each transfer meant a steady promotional climb for Graham, but the moving had its drawbacks, too. "I guess pulling our son out of schools frequently wasn't too good," Graham said. In fact, Graham once turned down a transfer so that Charles G. Overby n, now 31, could graduate from the high school he was attending. At the time, they were living in Mansfield, Ohio, where Graham was general plant supervisor for United Telephone of Ohio, a sister com pany of Carolina Telephone. Both Graham and Barbara "have family all over" unlike many people whose parents and siblings live nearby, making it difficult for them to move far away from their roots. "Besides, I guess staying in one place too long may have been boring," Graham said. One of Graham's "tours" was in Havelock, beginning in 1966. It was there that the family grew quickly from three to Ave, with the addition of two daughters, Andrea in 1987 and Laura in 1968. Son Charles is an electronics technician with ITT at Vanden berg Air Force Base, Calif. An drea, now 21, is a physical education major at East Carolina University in Green ville. Laura, 20, works at a Greenville law firm. Barbara says she got into "full-time mothering" in Havelock, yet still worked some part-time. Most of her jobs have involved accounting. While in Whiteville in the early 1970s, though, she had her own ceramics shop, one of her many craft skills which Graham praises. "She can do anything," he says. He then adds with a chuckle, "She can make ex cellent biscuits. I taught her." . It seems that Barbara "couldn't cook a lick" when they were first married. "My mama wouldn't let me in the kitchen," Barbara says in defense. "To this day, I won't eat chicken pot pies," Graham says. "That's ail we would eat until she learned how to cook. ' ' Supper might still be a quick meal these days: Barbara goes to a night class in business com puter programming four nights a week at Edgecombe Com munity College in Tarboro. And while she's in class, Graham is likely to be in his woodworking shop, making a table, a book case, a blanket chest or something similar. Come vacation time, they usually go camping, either to the mountains or to the beach. They like to travel, too. Graham says one of his "greatest experiences" was visiting his son in Hawaii, where Charles was on an aircraft carrier in port. Fathers' brothers and some of the sailors were allowed to ride on the ship to San Diego, Calif. Guess who was aboard. Barbara is anticipating one of her greatest experiences in Sep tember, when she and he# mother, Elnora Barlow of Ar eola, take off for Luxembourg for their first trip overseas. Bar bara's brother, Kenneth, works in an accounting firm in Luxem bourg. Despite the fun of travel and the excitement of moving, the adage about the revered status the place called home has come to have special meaning to thd Overbys. Over the years, thq moving kept them from being able to really get settled into a home, which they are now. And besides, considering thp name of Graham's hometown, their current residence, Macoh Place, in Tar boro is close enough.
