All the time, with little en couragement, he continued to think about and talk about the "dream". So, finally it became a reality and was staged in September of 1949 and 1950. People from miles around came to see the pageant which was produ? d in Broadway Fashion by Sam Byrd. Another of Bob's dreams was Duplin General Hospital. Through the pages of the Duplin Times he fought for and gave his reasons for having a County hospital. To day the hospital is a reality and it was in this very same hospital that he chose to die last Thursday night. He always talkea for th hospi tal, even in the face of criticism. He was a charter membrr of the PoaM of Titistees and se ved on the Executive Committee until thus year. In the way of industry for Dup lin County, many people do not know that he spent many hours of long distance t Iephoning and considerable money trying to lure more industry to the County. But he did just that. He likid Duplin County and wanted to promote it and did as long as he lived through the pages of the Duplin Tim s. Seven Spiings and LaGrange areas always held a fond place in his heart. It was this love for the area that caused him to esta blish The Weekly Gazette, in La Grange, in 1953, to "serve the peo ple of the Seven Springs and La Grange area." He was a native of Seven SpringM'as are his brother Roland, of Wilson; and E. C. 'Chub' of LaGrange. He is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ed Grady. Not later than three weeks ago Bob was talking to me about the possibilities of a historical produ ction or pageant of Seven Springs' and all her colorful past. His words were: "It seems like a big task on the surface, but it can be done. We'll have to write it and get it in presentable form, but I know the history of the area and we'll have to do it." Another of Bob's loves was Grove Presbyterian Church. There was nothing of which he was more proud than the renovation anldl remodeling of the ?hurch a couple of years ago. He was a deacon in the church and was a teacher in the men's Sunday School Class. So, it was only fitting that the last rites should be in Grove Presby terian Church. The history of KenansvUle will show that a certain Bob Grady served on the Board of Commis sioners and was Mayor of the Town whan nobody else would consider holding the position. The ficjhool Vxinsolidaitiotn pro gram in Duplin was something else which made Bob happy. When the consolidation of Keinansville, War saw and Magnolia high schools be came a reality, he was very mush pleased because it meant a bet ter educaion for the children now and tomorrow. Bob worked for and thought a great deal of many things and programs, but there was absolutely nothing which meant more to him than his family. He dearly loved Ruth, his wife, and his two dau ghters, Rebecca and Margaret There was nothing he would not do for them to help give them what they wanted. H was a graduate of Atlantic Pliri-stinn Cilleffp. RK flraHv line TiaQC,! awav from this life. He has left a mark which cannot be erased. He has mad - his mark in life for the up lifting of man, and as to how much these marks will mean only time can tell. Over the past four years. I have be n closely associated with Bob and during that time I think I have come to know what he really was inside. I know that he wanted to do what was right. Often tilling the truth was a bitter thing to do. And often keeping something out of the paper was even more bitter. I also know that he respected the opinions of his fellow man al though he did not agree with the opinions on numerous oc;asions. I know too th.it he respected a man and thought highly of him if he had definite convictions and was not one thing today and ano ther tomorrow. I know that Bob took gr at pri-'e in the fact that he was a weekly newspaper publisher and editov and close to the p ople who make the world go "round the common everyday man.
