Mr. Dover Works Toward

According to Mr. Neal Dover
a person never gets too old to
learn. He knows this is true.
How? Let’s go back a few years
in Mr. Dover’s life. Several
years ago he began work on the
railroad as a track man. Now
approximately 37 years later he
is an engineer. However, with a
bigger job and more responsibi
lity, he found he needed more
knowledge. To get this needed
knowledge where else would he
go but back to school.
In January he enrolled in the
Adult Basic Education classes
at Burnsville Elementary School.
Although he only went to the
sth grade in school he had, thro
ugh the years, become a self
educated man. Tnerefore, in
stead of beginning at 6th grade
level, Mr. Dover was placed in
higher level books. Now he is in
refresher books and working to
ward his high school equival
ency.
His teacher says, “Mr. Dover
is> an eager student and it is
very meaningful to me to teach
him."
Mr. Dover says, “I wouldn’t
take anything for the time I’ve
spent in school. I’m going all
the way.”
Mr. Dover is a native of Mit
chell County but has lived in
Yancev County for many years,
has helped raise five children
and to many people is no
stranger.
