The Templeton Foundations {Honor Roll is an annual listing of schools which "best exemplify campuses that encourage the devel- opment of strong moral character among students.” It was compiled by polling college and university presidents and directors of devel- opment of all four-year accredited institutions in the United States. The Honor Roll is sponsored by Templeton Foundations, founded by John Marks Templeton, in the belief that our country's institutions of higher learning should not only turn out individuals of strong intel- lect, but of strong character as well.

How To Spell Relief: C-h-a-m-p-i-0-n-s-h-i-p How do you spell relief? North Carolina State 3-A Baseball Championship!!! that's how you spell relief for me here in mid-June 1989. I was at the saturation point of grief and sadness, and at the same time, rejoicing because some- one else was released from pain and turmoil. My memories were in such a twirl it had left me dizzy. And the darling doctor tells me dizziness is one of the most com- mon complaints and symptoms of those over 60. This might be com- forting to those under 20, but not the three score and ten bunch. Anyway, the ball games came in the very best nick of time for me. It was a marvelous diversion. And Glenn and I had the luxury of be- ing driven to the games by Paul and Holly, had our chairs set up for us, used Paul's double umbrella, got the royal treatment on every hand. Paul already has several mother-in-law points toward Oct. 22. And, of course, Jim Reid's vac- uuming the ball field will surely be in his favor towards Mother-In- Law Day. Many times here lately I've seen families, friends, churches, the community come together to sup- port each other on various occa- sions. These ball games were a proof of the pudding of what can happen when you work, play, weep and laugh together, cheer each oth- er on, practice, persevere, listen, learn, respect leadership and each other, follow directions, learn to lose and try again, enjoy the pro- cess, win, celebrate and give thanks. Each night as we faced the U. S. A. flag and heard The National Anthem for a few moments there was no opposition. It was not team against team, but one nation, one fellowship, under God.

Legislation can never qui- eten the prayers of the individual as long as there is liberty and jus- tice for all. The silent, inner prayer can outshout even the loud speaker. All during the ball games I was in prayerful gratitude for having had the pleasurable privilege of watching this chamnpionship team grow up. We have seen most of those boys play ball with each oth- er competitively and cooperatively for about 10 years. And here they are now being an example for us, in a miniature and mighty way, showing the whole world how we can all be winners if we play by the rules and care about each other. And now for one more account of the tooth of root canal fame. This will keep Patsy from dozing. I got the tooth at last crowned and paid for Thursday morning. Everybody was pleased to have it over and done with. I was eating a banana Friday morning and out came the crown. The dentist office was closed, so I called Pam Montgomery to report the calamity. I had a good time doing all the talking. When I'm at the dentist they are either blow drying my mouth, drilling, scraping or some- thing and doing all the talking. But on the telephone I could tell Pam all about the terrific ball game and the remarkable game Grover's own Keith Allen pitched. Pam says Andy is all set for Bible School. Stay well, Andy. Jean Francis spent the weekend in Easley, S. C. with Steve and Sandra Francis. Jean is going back to school again this summer at UNCC. Bucky and Sybil Hardin were in town again to be with their families and especially with James Byers. I checked with Tina and they hope Maria Harry will be home this weekend from Atlanta. Edith Morgan is off to Georgia for a week-long class and choir re- union. Joel has returned from his adventures in England and France. Paul and Holly got in their Father's Day points a week early. They went with Glenn and me to the Rountree Reunion in Georgia. This reunion started out many years ago as a birthday dinner for one of the sons in a family of 10 children. It was such a happy time it became an annual event and in- creases in numbers with the years. As the years went by so did those children, their mates and many of their children. We are down to an aging group of cousins and their offspring. But even a remnant can keep a family spirit alive and well. More champions are in the mak- ing at the ball field in Grover just about every evening. It's a good summer evening outing to watch and play. Those orange sacks along the highway surely look better than the litter. Adopt a highway. Ready For Vacation!
