GROVER NEWS
by Jackie Rountree,
InGrover, July 4,1972. When,
In the course of human events.
Some went east and Some went
west. I’d be the cuckoos
west. I’d be the cuckooestln
the nest. If I tried to tell where
all some found rooms and
rest. Were It not tor The Co
ckrell Kids and all their kids,
Grover would be vacated by
vacUoners. Boots, unquest
ionably, Is the winner of this
week’s "Hostess With The
mostest To Be Hostessed’’ A-
ward. Lt. Col. BUI Cockrell,
bis wife, Rita, and their chUd-
ren, BUI, Kelley, and Dawn,
came In from Ft. Leaven
worth, Kansas week before
last tor a preWew visit. Last
Thursday they returned for
their fuU length visit. BroUi-
er Andy, his wife. Bobble,
etc., and Uielr Une-up ofSbe-
Iby, Drew, Bart, andGenear-
rlved later In the week. Sis
ter Starr Peeler with Charlie
and Leah and Eric joined them
on Sunday,alongwlth Mrs. Jo
nes (Boots’ Mother), and Bo
ots’ sister, Muriel. That ex
tra spurt of sunbeams we en
joyed Sunday was, no doubt,
abetted by Fred. The Grover
and his frisky Dock wUl be
leaving Wednesday tor Fort
Monroe near Norfolk where
they’ll be living for a year or
so. AndywUlflythe coopFrl-
day to return to Tampa. Bob
ble, etc., and Bunch wUl stay
for a longer visit. If Boots
bad had another Kiddle rocker
I could have received abetter
report on the fun they had at
CharUe and Ann’s Saturday
Night when they got together
lor a “That ’Ole Gang of
Mine’’ session. Ihad Laura
with me at Boots’. Two two-
year olds and one rocker was
not seemingly the beginning of
a beautiful friendship. Boots
may have to add a rumble seat
to the rocker. Bobble’s etc.
may be a double etc. Boots
sub-let the whole-hostessing
thing to Fain and Carolyn
Monday Night. Ail of them
migrated to Charlotte for The
Fourth to UieCharUe Peelers
to continue their pursuit of
happiness in being unites. To
borrow a quote from a fellow
Jackie—"How Sweet It Is’’—
How sweet it is for aNaUon’s
lilnlty to begin with FamUy Un
ity. To borrow a quote from
another Fellow Being—
"What God Has Joined To
gether, Let No Man Put As
under.’’-- To join In themut-
uaUy understo^ and accepted
universal quote, unite with me
In a United Hallelujah! Amen!
States—Got a beautiful post
card from Piccola Blalock
from Hawaii. She was to vis
it four of the Islands within an
eight day period. The post
card was a scene of TheNan-
Uoa Surf and The NanUoa Hot
el. In the Hawaiian language
Nanlloa means "very beaut
iful”. Isn’t It very beauU-
ful that Hawaii can unite with
US? And isn’t It "nanlloa”
that Becky Scruggs and the
whole bus load are at liberty
to unite with theState of Alas
ka in such a jolly outing of
learning more about all of US?
Prudence, Indeed, has dicta
ted that this become a well-
established procedure. Am
erica The Nanlloa!
Bess, Mrs. Crisp and Marge,
Lillie Mae and Lucille K. tried
to take in all the 13 originals,
but more or less concentrated
on N. C. and Virginia. From
the tip of Blowing Rock to the
shores of Outer Banks, They
returned to Grover United and
with Thanks. Bess was part
icularly excited about be
holding the spot where the
Arctic Ocean and The Gulf
Stream come together. How’s
that lor Unity?? If anybody
finds any Scotch Bonnet Sea
Shells, this group would like
to have some. Did you know
Mary Houser and I like Sand
Dollars—and silver dollars,
ten dollars, $20, $100, Certi
fied Checks, Savings Bonds.
We were so glad to hear
that Agnes didn’t mess up lor
Bub and Bryte’s visit to Rich
mond and their fishing at Cape
Hatteras. They surely plan
to open a Fish and Corn Curb
Market. No corn crop ever
received such united TLC.
Bessie Hicks was telling us
that Sharon Gold had a rough
flight from Washington, D.C,
Sha, John, and Lois went on
to Florida to spend a vacation
times with the Richard Golds.
I saw a little boy out In front
of Bessie and Warren’s the
other day, and without the first
wonder, I knew it was Rich
ard’s-—a definite lode alike.
Our door bell clanged last
Thursday afternoon after of
fice hours and I was sure
we’d get our hedge trimmed.
It was Bobby Ridgeway. The
hedge is still a shag. He wan
ted to swap a Siamese Tom
wasbpot, cook stove, or any
thing else with an authenUc
distressed look. Bill Neal,
indefinitely of Chapel Hill, his
laundry lady , Morton, and
their son, Matthew, have been
Homecomers -In - Town for
several days. After a year
of teaching, BUI learned
there’s a lot more to learn,
so he’s going back to school
some more. The Wray Go
forths were Homecomers a-
galn overtheweek-end. Thel
ma’s home again too. Mark
Meharg did not come to Gro
ver. Went to Alabama Instead.
Anyway, Optician Tom was
eager to see Grover. Martha
Herndon Wright came bad and
brought CharUe with her.
Sady and BUI McCarter, went
to Winston-Salem and came
back. Annette Harry Woods
came back too—She and Don
and Christy, Terry and Bess
had a Lake Wylie outing Sat
urday and then a Lake Nor-
noan outing Sunday with the
Don Harrys. PhUip, Maria,
and girls shall return. Gen
Tate Duncan came back for a
first-of-the-week visit with
Fannie.
J olley and the two girls came
too. We started July out on
a jolly note. We at least had
a unified glimpse of each and
all some time during the day
Saturday. Jolley Joe jumped
by with Cindy, plus Friend
Richard on their way to Beech

Bubba bounded in before they
jumped Into the car to get to
Boone before noon. Bubba and
Ginger united with John and
Margaret and Ashley at
Cherry Grove where they had
already united with Tom and
Erie Bryant. That’s when we
united with Laura. Richard,
Cindy and Joe jumped in a-
gain Sunday. There was a no
te from them saying so when
we came in from Dixon Home
coming. If you saw the Miss
N.C. Pageant, Richard was a
set designer and the strong
man In the carnival scenes.
Speaking of Dixon Homeco
ming-—We went. Glenn we
