Peopl
& Places
By FREDA NELSON
Within walking distance of
Virginia's handsome and
historic Capital building Id
downtown Richmond,
resides one of Hertford's
own. native daughters. She
lives in a tower apartment
complex where, her in
dividuality and' genuine
warmth embody her elegant
abode. r.
The person of whom I
speak is Mrs. Donnie Nor
man Lewis, who many years
ago left the confines of her
hometown of Hertford,
because her husband's work
took them to other places.
Donnie is the widow of
Robert E.Lewis.
It was my privilege to
become acquainted with
Mrs. Lewis through cor
respondence regarding her
late sister, Mrs. Mattie
Macon White Gardner. Mat
tie and her first husband,
Philip Ernest White of Hert
ford, served as missionaries
in China before World War
II.
So on this Thanksgiving
Day it was my pleasure to
meet, in person, Donnie
Lewis. And what an ideal
time to get to know each
other. Our meeting,
however, was much like old
friends getting together
than new acquaintances.
Donnie spoke of her
sister's strong calling lathe
mission field to minister to
the Chinese people'. The joy
of her sister's life. Donnie
said, was to minister to
others. Many will recall this
dedicated missionary with
fond memories.
With enthusiasm Donnie
talkedof her varied occupa
tions., Having at one time
taught school in Hertford,
and most recently that of
having an assignment at
Jhe Masonic - Home in
Richmond.
Easily detected was the
fact that her home-town
friends were still very dear '
and close to her heart. She
regretfully said that she had
not been able to return for
visits as often as she would
have preferred. She recalled
with fond remembrance her
childhood church, Hertford
Baptist. .
During the conversation,
Donnie casually remarked
that she enjoyed people do
ing things for her, but her .
pleasure and happiness was
to do something for other
people, -..v; ,'..,;"..
On leaving I asked if there
were , messages that she
would like for me to bring to
her folks, in Hertford. Her
reply, "Just tell my friends
that I send my love and best
regards."
It seemed that Donnie con
veyed a message of service
.itself, however unaware,
that "One need not venture
to far-a-way places to
minister but that it can just
as readily be done right in
your own home and to those
nearby.
Visiting with this gracious
and charming person was,
indeed, a rare opportunity -and
truly a blessing. This
Thanksgiving Day occasion
will remain a highlight in
my storehouse of cherished '
memories. v

brother, Ed Phelps.
