John Puttenham (or Putnam as the family name was already on some occasions being recorded), had four sons, the eldest ‘John Putnam of Hawridge’ next ‘William Putnam of Cholesbury’ and younger brothers of these, Richard, Edward and Hugh. On his father’s death in 1521, John inherited lands in Hawridge identified today as PINNOCKS LEATH and Putnams, and William in 1561 acquired lands mainly in Cholesbury but also at HEATH End, (still known today as Marshall’s) bequeathed from a separate line of the family.

Charles Dickens
The Holly Tree
Three Branches by Charles Dickens Myself I have kept one secret in the course of my life. I am a bashful man. Nobody would suppose it, nobody ever does suppose it, nobody ever did suppose it, but I am naturally a bashful man. This is the secret which I have never breathed until now. I might greatly move the reader by some account of the innumerable places I have not been to, the innumerable people I have not called upon or received, the innumerable social evasions I have been guilty of, solely because I am by original constitution and character a bashful man. But I will leave the reader unmoved, and proceed with the object before me. That object is to give a plain account of my travels and discoveries in the Holly-Tree Inn; in which place of good entertainment for man and beast I was once snowed up. It happened in the memorable year when I parted for ever from ANGELA LEATH, whom I was shortly to have married, on making the discovery that she preferred my bosom friend. From our school-days I had freely admitted Edwin, in my own mind, to be far superior to myself; and, though I was grievously wounded at heart, I felt the preference to be natural, and tried to forgive them both. It was under these circ*mstances that I resolved to go to America--on my way to the Devil. Communicating my discovery neither to Angela nor to Edwin, but resolving to write each of them an affecting letter conveying my blessing and forgiveness, which the steam-tender for shore should carry to the post when I myself should be bound for the New World, far beyond recall,--I say, locking up my grief in my own breast, and consoling myself as I could with the prospect of being generous, I quietly left all I held dear, and started on the desolate journey I have mentioned...

Thomas Kennedy, another American, patented a siphonic closet which required only two delivery pipes, one to flush the rim, the other to start the siphon. William Howell improved it in 1890, when he eliminated the lower trap without detriment to the action.

Ten years later, Robert Frame and Charles Neff of Newport, R.I., produced the prototype of America's siphonic wash-down closet, although it sometimes failed to develop the necessary action and the contents overflowed. Another decade passed before a redesigned bowl by Fred Adee would spur the production of the siphonic closet in America.

Notes for REBECCA LEATH:
Grant, I have never seen any documentation of Betsy's parents.And I have to admit, I think your theory is interesting, but a stretch, no documentation.I will through you a bone - the Bristol Parish register shows a John and Rebecca Leath having a daughter Elizabeth in the late 1740s.I have never been able to place him - unless he is Charles's grandson John - but this really compresses the timeline if Charles Leath was born in 1687.The Albemarle Parish register says Charles was 83 years old when he died in 1770.You try the math and see what you come up with, four generations should take how many years?

Grant,

My Leath lines go back to James Leath who settled near the Cecil Co., MD, and Chester Co., PA, boundary line about 1721.We think he was our immigrant, probably of Scots-Irish origin and a part of the large Scots-Irish immigration about 1720.Then in the 1730s he moved to the Shenandoah Valley of VA.I've never been able to connect my Leaths to the Caswell Co., NC, Leaths who came from the greater Southside Virginia Leaths.

I am away from my Leath family notes right now, so it may take me a few weeks to get back to you.But I have an email address for a Robert Leath who has done some research on the Caswell Co., NC, Leaths.He can take you back several more generations from Coleman, back to Prince George Co., Co., VA.If I remember correctly, this guy descends from James Leath who married Rachel Pond, though I think he descends from a second marriage.When I get back to my notes, I'll be back in touch with you.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA

On December 9, 1785, 307 men of Washington County signed a petition addressed to the Virginia House of Burgesses reqesting the formation of a new county from the western area of Washington County.The petition suggested a line be "fixed along Clinch Mountain and Montgomery line to the Carolina line" to separate them from Washington County.These inhabitants include those in settlements of Clinch River, Mocason Creek, Powells Valley, north branch of Holstein River, and "others."Russell County, Virginia was created in that year.No Gowens [or spelling variations] appeared on the petition.

The list of petitioners, transcribed by Rhonda S. Robertson was published in "The Southwest Virginian," Vol. 1, No. 3 in Wise, Virginia:

REV. ROBERT M'GEE KING, A.M.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CAL.

Robert McGee King was born in Sumner County, Tennessee, near Gallatin, July 30, 1812. His father's name was William King; his mother's maiden name Priscilla Hassell. His paternal grandfather, Robert King, was from North Carolina, and was of Scotch-Irish descent. His ancestors were of the Presbyterian faith to as remote a period as the family have any record of tradition. Robert King was a man of very devout piety and trained his family in the strictest observance of the Sabbath day. Soon after his removal to Tennessee he was joined by a young immigrant whose name was REED. Before young Reed had become fully acquainted with the strict Sabbath observing habits of his host, he walked out one Sabbath and surprising a number of squirrels which were taking their repast from the crib, threw a stone at the retreating crowd and killed one of them. He took his prize to the house and was exhibiting it to the children and servants. The pater-familias came upon the young gentleman just at this time and, as Mr. Reed told it when he was a very old man, then and there he received the severest lecture upon Sabbath breaking he ever listened to, and one which had exerted a restraining influence upon his entire life. As rigid was the grandfather in the observance of all other religious duties.

In such a home was Cumberland Presbyterianism cradled! Three of its original preachers were from it: Samuel King, a son, and James Farr and Wm. McGee, sons-in-law. The Reed above mentioned was father-in-law of Rev. Hugh B. Hill, of sacred and precious memory.

This Grandfather King was a captain in the Revolutionary war, and fought in the battles of King's Mountain and of Guilford Court House. The maternal grandfather, Abram Hassell, was on one of those privateers which so much harassed the British commerce during our Revolutionary struggle, being a seafaring man in early life.

Both of these grandfathers received "Land Warrants" for their Revolutionary services, with which they entered land in Sumner and other counties in Tennessee, for homes for themselves and their children.

The father of R. M. King died when the latter was an infant of eighteen months, and the mother when he was a child of nine years. He felt the death of his mother very bitterly, and for months would occasionally take the garments which she had made for him, retire to some secret place and look at the stitches which her fingers had drawn and weep that he should never see her again!

He was raised by John BELL, a very intelligent and pious elder of our Church, whose wife was a sister of his father. Two daughters of John Bell, Mary and Elizabeth, by a former wife, a Miss Wear, became the wives of Rev. Aaron Alexander and of Rev. Reuben BURROW, both of whom were distinguished preachers of our Church.

He professed religion at New Hope Campground, Wilson County, Tennessee, on the morning of the 22d of August, 1833. The work of repentance was a very honest business with him. He was immeasurably distressed, almost in the blackest despair, when the Lord graciously enabled him to look to Jesus, and to trust in him for salvation. This view by faith of Jesus as his Savior, turned his darkness into light, his despair into joy, and filled his soul with inexpressible peace. He immediately felt the deepest desire for the salvation of others, particularly his acquaintances and friends.

He owed more to the exertions of his relative, James MITCHELL McMurry, afterwards a distinguished preacher of our Church, than to any other human instrumentality. Next to him he owes more to his cousin, Harriet N. Hassell, who professed religion about a week before. He joined the church about a week later, at the old Beech church in Sumner County, and his name was transferred to Gallatin. Rev. Hugh Kirkpatrick was moderator of the session when he joined the church, and Robert Taylor and his brother James, and James Kirkpatrick, were members of the session. A great multitude of new converts joined the church at the same time in that old stone meeting house, and Heaven itself seemed to come down among the new converts, and such a time of rejoicing was seldom ever seen. That summer and autumn he witnessed the conversion of more than five hundred souls. The instrumentalities chiefly employed in these wonderful revivals were Rev. Messrs. John L. Smith, Wm. Ralston, Francis Johnston, John L. Dillard, George Donnell, Thomas Calhoun, and many others. His joy in the Lord was constant for months, and seemed to flow like a river, and his desire for the conversion of souls so increased that it ripened into the firm conviction that God had made it his duty to invite sinners to the Savior.

He immediately started to school at Gallatin, Tenn., to James T. LEATH, Esq., and commenced the Latin Grammar, not knowing what would come of his impressions, but very desirous to be prepared for any emergency. He went to school there a year and then went to Cumberland College, at Princeton, Ky. In the fall of 1835 he presented himself before the Princeton presbytery, gave a relation of his experimental acquaintance with religion, and his internal call to the work, and was received as a candidate for the holy ministry. There were present at that meeting of presbytery, Rev. Messrs. F. R. Cossitt, Richard BEARD and others...

According to the census, James Leath was born in 1783, and the census indicates that he and Rachel Pond may have had children, but none of them seem to have survived to adulthood.James and Catherine Wampler were married in the Methodist Church, and they continued to be Methodist until my family all became Presbyterian about 60 years ago - before I was born.

Notes for ELIZABETH S. STORY:
Peter and Abigail Leath had a daughter Elizabeth who married a Charles WILLIAMS.In 1759, there is an agreement promising Elizabeth and her heirs right to inherit the property she had inherited from her father.Peter Leath and Thomas BONNER were the guarantors and Mary Leath was a witness.The document described Charles Williams as "of Brunswick County" but I have never been able to positively pin him down.

Grant, there is one Caswell deed of around 1815 I've seen that includes both Freeman Leath, Jr. and Archibald COLEMAN as witnesses.Any idea who Archibald Coleman is?

Name: Kimberly Shore

Caswell Co. SurnamesLeath, Kernodle, Hornbuckle
Comments:
I am doing some research for a book that I am currently writing, involving some people who were buried on the property that I used to own in Caswell County. There names are Freeman Leath, born 1792, his wife Susan Hornbuckle, born 1798, Freeman's sister, Mary E. Leath, born 1816, and her husband Richard Kernodle, birthdate-unknown. All died in 1854. I am trying to find any information on how they died. I'm not for certain, but I think the land that I used to own was known as the Scott's Place/Plantation. Any information would be greatly appreciated....

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the information you sent me on Freeman Leath.I've been doing research on him and the others who are buried on the property I used to own, for a book that I am currently writing.There is no tombstone, so to speak.On the edge of the property is a square, rock wall, with markers stating the following:Freeman Leath born 1792, died 1854, his wife Susan Hornbuckle born 1798, died 1854, Richard Kernodle, died 1854, no birthdate given, his wife M. Elizabeth Leath, born 1816, died 1854.It's interesting you mention the "Scott's" due to the fact that I've been told the property I used to own was known as the "Old Scott Place".

I now live in Snow Camp, NC, Alamance Co.My husband is a Shore, and my half-brother is a Shore as well.What about you?Where do you live?The addess for the property is 4742 Kerr Chapel Rd. Elon College, NC 27244.It is located not far from the Alamance Co./Caswell Co. line.The people who own the property now are Zimmerman's.

v.RICHARD WILSON HURDLE, b. February 05, 1842; d. July 27, 1917, Winnsboro, TX; m. HENRIETTA ELLEN WARREN; b. Abt. 1850.

Notes for RICHARD WILSON HURDLE:
Wilson didn't return from the Civil War, but stopped in Texas. He fought in the Civil War with is brothers, William Jams and John A. He saw his brother William shot and killed in Winchester, Virginia.

Following information from Michael Hurdle:
According to an interview conducted by Pat Adams with Bernice Hurdle Denney on May 15, 1974 in Dallas, Texas:
"R. W. Hurdle served with his brothers in the Civil War and saw his brother, Will, mortally wounded as they were going through the yankee-occupied town of Winchester, VA. Will was shot from the doorway of a building as they passed by. They raced on, but upon reaching a field on the outskirts Will could go no further. Feeling death approaching he urged his brothers (John Hurdle was there too) to go on so they wouldn't be captured. They stayed as long as they could, but as the Yankees approached they made him as comfortable as possible and escaped.

After the war they returned home to a desolate situation. So much had been burned on Sherman's March to the Sea. The parents had died prior to the Civil War, with the younger children "farmed out" to older sisters and relatives. The Yankees auctioned off the homeplace and belongings to the highest bid, and none of Dickey Hurdle's children got their just inheritance. R. W. had a little money and all he was able to purchase at the sale was the family Bible, begun by Dickey Hurdle. (This Bible is now in the possession of Bernice Hurdle Denney's oldest son: George H. Denney of Silver City, New Mexico).

R. W. Hurdle was in love with his cousin, Elizabeth (?), but they couldn't marry because of "blood". Everything was so "heartbreaking and disappointing" that he got on a horse and took off for Texas. There he ran a grist mill for Jack Nance in Mount Vernon -- and later married his widow, a good bit older than he. They had a son, George D. Hurdle, and moved to Winnsboro, Texas so he could go to school. There R.W. became a carpenter-craftsman who loved to work with wood.

In many ways R.W. was a "very peculiar person". He seemed to "know" things before they happened. After he got to Texas he had a dream of the death of his sister -- seeing his other sister weeping. When he awakened he recorded the date and hour. Several weeks later he received a letter from his sister (the one "seen" weeping) relating the death of her sister at the exact time of his dream.

R. W. firmly believed in physical health, advocating and practicing exercise and eating "health foods" before they became popular. Even in his late years he would set up obstacle courses in the front yard to run and jump over it with the children. He used to brew alfalfa tea and make his own health foods from grains, etc. which he routinely served his granddaughters (much to their chagrin). A record-keeper by instinct, he carefully recorded much of the family history in an old courthouse ledger."

32.WILLIAM WINTON9 LEATH (JAMES MADISON8, JAMES M.7, CHARLES6, ?FRANCIS?5, CHARLES4, ARTHUR?3, ?XY2, MISCELLANEOUS1) was born April 02, 1866 in Grayson Co., VA, and died October 17, 1931 in Grayson Co., VA.He married ?MARTHA E. HALE September 14, 1884 in Grayson Co., VA, daughter of CREED HALE and NANCY ASHFORD.She was born September 19, 1866 in Grayson Co., VA.

Notes for WILLIAM WINTON LEATH:
It was definitely Winton, and his family nickname was "Uncle Wint."The Hales were an old Essex County family whose name was originally spelled Haile, then Hail, finally Hale.The Brewers were another PG/Brunswick family with connections to Lanier, Wyche, and Morris.
The Funks were Pennsylvania Germans who migrated to Virginia about the same time as the Wamplers, and my grandmother's mother's family the Bundys were old Perquimans County, NC, Quakers - relations were Barrow, Nicholson, Symons, Wilson, Sanders.

____________

WINTON, NC was incorporated in 1766. The bill incorporating the town was introduced in the Assembly by Representative Benjamin WYNN who donated fifty acres as the town common. The town was named for him and was briefly known as Wynntown. The new town was soon made the county seat of government and has remained such ever since.

As the new nation grew prominent New England traders used Winton as their trading point for southern goods. Among them was Elkanah Watson of Massachusetts who lived nearby and conducted his business in Winton. He later returned to New England where he completed the Erie Canal and began the state fair movement in America. Another was Eli FOOTE, grandfather of Harriet Beecher STOWE, who died while on a trading mission to Winton and is buried in the Colonial Cemetery here. The river continues to attract commerce and industry as is evidenced by the location of the Easco Aluminum Company within the Town of Winton and the Nucor Steel Mill nearby.

Winton also played a part in the development of the tobacco industry in North Carolina. Here in 1881 David ANDERSON OWEN, tobacco pioneer who had traveled eastern North Carolina with WASHINGTON DUKE, built and operated Northeastern North Carolina’s only tobacco manufacturing factory. The Owen Tobacco Company produced Winton Smoking Tobacco, Owen Plug Tobacco and other tobacco products. Owen’s grave is in the Old Church Cemetery in Winton.

Fishing has played a major role in the history of Winton. At one time the Chowan River teemed with herring and shad in season. The JORDAN family of Winton carried on large seine fishing operations at Mt. GALLANT on the west side of Winton and at BARFIELDS and Petty Shore on the east. Hauls of 100,000 fish were made twice a day. Today the river remains a favorite place for sports fishing. Bass tournaments and other fishing events are held frequently.

During the Civil war Winton suffered its greatest tragedy. On February 20, 1862 the town was invaded by Union troops and burned to the ground. This was the first burning of a town anywhere during the Civil War occurring nearly two years before Sherman’s march through the South. The Federals approached Winton in three gunboats which had come up the Chowan River. They first bombarded the town. Finding it poorly defended they poured ashore plundering and setting fire to the Courthouse and to all of the county’s colonial records and then to every remaining structure in town except a church and one or two houses identified as belonging to Northern sympathizers. The town was virtually completely destroyed. The savagery and brutality of the uncalled for sacking and burning of Winton evoked protests in the North even in New York City from which the Federal troops came. The result for the invading regiment was denial of medals it had received for earlier action and disgrace for its leader.

Today the only standing building to have survived the fire of 1862 is a detached kitchen which was a part of one of the spared houses. It is presently being restored as a colonial kitchen museum which will house cooking artifacts of the early 1800s. The museum will be open to the public. Also being planned is a full-scale re-enactment of the naval action on the river and of the invasion of the town and the military action there.

A new town rose from the ruins of the fire and produced some outstanding examples of the architecture of the nineteenth century. Located in Winton is Gray Gables a massive three-story Queen Anne structure which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Erected by James S. Mitchell, a local political and civic leader, as his residence, the timber for the house as well as the interior paneling and flooring were all cut to specification in Edenton and shipped up the Chowan River to Winton by boat. Gray Gables is being renovated and will be opened to the public for tours.

Winton is also the site of Hertford County’s oldest post office having been commissioned by President George Washington in 1792. The Winton post office has an unbroken history of over 200 years.

Still standing in Winton is a unique brick building built specifically for a post office nearly a century ago. This building has been completely renovated as The Century Post Office Museum. It is being out-fitted and furnished exactly as a small rural post office of a hundred years ago and will commemorate the role of the post office in the rural south. The museum will be open to the public.

One of Winton’s finest hours was the establishment here of the Chowan Academy for Afro-Americans by Dr. Calvin S. Brown, in 1886. A graduate of Shaw University Dr. Brown was an eminent preacher and journalist. As pastor of the Pleasant Plains Baptist Church near Winton he resolved to organize an institution of learning for the black children of eastern North Carolina. To enlist the sympathy and help of the Winton community he published a monthly paper known as The Chowan Pilot advancing the idea of a school. The publication and Dr. Brown’s campaign for community support was a success and within eighteen months the construction of a two-story boarding school building was begun. Over the years the institution grew into a multi-building campus and its name was changed to Waters Normal Institute. It ultimately became the Calvin S. Brown High School. The graves of Dr. and Mrs. Brown are on the campus.

On the campus today is the C. S. Brown Regional Cultural Arts Center and Museum housed in the C. S. Brown National Registry Auditorium Building. Also located on the campus is the Office of Aging for Hertford County.

Nearby are located the headquarters and grounds for the National Elks Shrine facility known as the Hobson R. Reynolds National Elks Shrine. Hobson Reynolds who was born in Winton, became a prominent citizen of Philadelphia and was for many years national President of the Elks organization. He is buried on the grounds of the Shrine.

The Winton community has had many distinguished citizens. In addition to those already named these include: General Thomas Wynn, first Congressman elected from the district under the United States Constitution and his son Benjamin, the founder of Winton; Congressman Kenneth Rayner whose plantation was nearby, and who maintained an office in Winton, in 1848; Rayner was a candidate for the nomination for Vice President of the United States but lost by one vote to Millard Fillmore who became President of the United States in place of Winton’s Kenneth Rayner upon the death of President Zachary Taylor in 1850; Dr. Richard Jordan Gatling, world famous as inventor of the machine gun whose first employment as a young man was as a store clerk in Winton during which time he perfected his first invention, i.e. the principle of the screw propeller only to lose the race to the Patent Office to John Erricson, designer of the Monitor; Congressman Hallet Ward, colorful lawyer and orator; Thad Eure, one time mayor of Winton who served North Carolina as Secretary of State for more than half a century, his tenure in that office being the longest in any state in the entire history of the United States; Dr. R. T. Vann, president of Meredith College and long time leader of the Baptist denomination in North Carolina; Dr. Thomas Custis Parramore, born in Winton, became a distinguished professor of history at Meredith College and the successful author of numerous history books and articles some particularly relating to the history of Northeastern North Carolina.

Winton is a progressive place, proud of it’s history but not willing to rest on its illustrious past. The advent of new industry and business has blended the best of the new with the best of the old. This atmosphere is illustrated by the creation of a Town Beautification Committee which is actively engaged in planting trees and shrubs throughout the town. In addition the Town of Winton has acquired waterfront land on the banks of the Chowan River and is creating there a spacious recreational park for use by the public.

Notes for JOSEPH BRITTON LEATH:
Joseph Britton Leath was born in Smith Co., TX, the son of George Britton Leath and Mary Amaryllis Thomas, and the grandson of Rev. Josiah Leath of Cherokee Co., AL.

(now Jefferson Co., TN), m. Elizabeth ___.They moved from Shenandoah
Co., VA, to present-day Jefferson Co., TN, about 1782. - son of

George Leeth b. perhaps 1715-1720 d. 1768 Frederick Co., VA, m. Miriam
___ - son of

James Leath b. perhaps 1680s/90s d. probably 1740s Frederick Co., VA,
on tax rolls Chester Co., PA, 1724-1734, then found in Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia records by 1735.He is surrounded by Scots-Irish
immmigrants who arrived about 1720, so we assume James came about the
same time.

I've based this lineage on wills, estate records, deeds, census, and
tax rolls, then compared it with other researchers who reached the
same conclusions, so I feel pretty confident in it.

As for the Nunns, I descend from the brother of William Nunn who
married Ede Simpson.He was John Nunn.John, born mid 1740s, left NC
in the 1770s for South Carolina, then by 1791 was in Georgia.His
grandson William Ira Nunn left Georgia for Alabama about 1840, then
his son Levi Ezell Nunn came to Texas about 1869 and is my ancestor.

To summarize, my Nunns left NC in the 1770s, my Leaths left the
Shenandoah Valley of VA in the 1780s.

Notes for WILLIAM FRANCIS SIMPSON:
William F. Simpson Highway Dedication
12/10/01
Good morning everyone.

Thank you Doug, for that introduction.

Doug is doing a great job representing this area and serving as Chairman of the Board of Transportation.

Thank you for all you do.

We are also glad to have Congressman Burr and many local legislators with us today for this momentous occasion.

We have come here today to celebrate a man who is a shining star in this community -- a true leader in Rockingham County.

Bill Simpson has always welcomed challenges with open arms and has built a reputation for positive change.

He long realized that the best way to make a difference was through community service.

Throughout his illustrious career, he has graciously given his time to public service and has expected nothing in return.

How many of us could balance a successful career in the restaurant business; serve on 12 different boards; remain active in our church and still make time for our family like Bill has done?

Bill, you have taken time management to a new level.

Bill is clearly dedicated to his community -- his career demonstrates his commitment to helping Reidsville prosper.

His kindness is well known and his generosity is contagious.

Not only will he give a friend the shirt off his back, but when he owned the Sanitary Café he often opened the kitchen doors for the homeless.

He called his friends together before the crack of dawn every Thanksgiving morning to prepare meals for those without families or a place to live.

Bill is also a great advocate of education.

Friends say that Bill constantly encouraged his employees to continue their education by attending college so they could expand their career choices.

Saying this, I would like to mention what was probably the highlight of Bill's civic career.

Out of all the boards Bill has served on, possibly the one that touched the most lives would have to be the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges.

As Chairman of this board, he focused on improving procedures within the ranks of the community colleges to involve as many people as possible in the decision-making process.

He was also well known for his efforts to increase the diversity of people in administrative positions at the colleges.

These improvements helped improve operations in community colleges across the state.

Everyone here today agrees that Bill Simpson has gone above and beyond the call of duty to his city and state.

No question about it -- the endless hours he has spent volunteering for the community deserves recognition.

The fact that he has given so much back to this area speaks volumes about his character.

I can see why the people of Reidsville care for him so much.

It is for these reasons and many more that we want to name a section of the Southern Connector in honor of William Simpson.

He has been a key supporter of this bypass since the beginning.

Without Bill's unwavering support, the Southern Connector may have never been constructed.

Bill long recognized the value of this project to the community - as well as the state.

The Southern Connector takes motorists from southeastern Reidsville to western Reidsville allowing drivers to bypass city traffic and in the process relieves traffic inside Reidsville.

Future plans call for this new highway to connect to several industrial parks, which will not only help the city of Reidsville but the state as a whole.

One industrial park on the Southern Connector is already under construction.

Naming a section of the Connector for Bill is a fitting tribute for his many accomplishments.

From this day forward, people who access the Southern Connector will see William F. Simpson's name on this section of the highway and know that he played a critical part in making their trip possible -- and that he helped make Rockingham County a better place.

At this time, I would like to ask Bill Simpson and his two sons - Bill Jr. and Jeff to come forward and accept this replica sign in honor of his hard work and dedication.

(PRESENT HIM WITH THE SMALL REPLICA SIGN)

( MR. SIMPSON WILL GIVE REMARKS.)

(DOUG GALYON WILL CONCLUDE THE CEREMONY.)

(YOU, MR. SIMPSON AND HIS FAMILY AND OTHER PLATFORM GUESTS WILL UNVEIL THE SIGN.)

Community Colleges Set to Honor Supporters

RALEIGH -- Three distinguished individuals will receive the highest honor bestowed by the North Carolina Community College System at its annual Day of Recognition Awards Luncheon on Friday, November 17, 2000. The luncheon takes place at noon at the Sheraton Capital Center in downtown Raleigh.

The first I.E. Ready recipient, the late George B. Autry, founder of the non-profit research group, MDC, Inc., was the leader of the Commission on the future of the Community College System. The commission’s report, published in 1998-1989, has served as the basis for System planning and legislative action ever since. Autry, who passed away in April of 1999, believed that education created economic prosperity for North Carolina and saw the Community College System as the major tool for developing the capacities and skills of ordinary people.

Phillip J. Kirk, Jr., President and Secretary of the North Carolina Citizens for Business and Industry, Chairman of the State Board of Education, member of the Governor’s Education Cabinet, and former member of the State Board of Community Colleges is the second I. E. Ready recipient. Kirk served as Secretary of the Department of Human Resources under two governors. A longtime friend of education, Kirk chaired the working committees for the successful statewide campaign for $2.75 billion in bonds for schools and roads in 1976 and the highly successful $3.1 billion Higher Education Bonds Referendum this year.

The third recipient is William F. Simpson, who served on the State Board of Community Colleges from 1985 to 1995 and was chair from 1989 to 1993. Simpson has received the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine for his years of service to the state. During his 44-year business career, Simpson owned and operated six successful businesses in retail and restaurants. He served on the Governor’s Commission on Workforce Preparedness, was Chairman of the Rockingham Republican Party, President of the Reidsville Chamber of Commerce and past President of the Reidsville Merchants Association.

The I. E. Ready Award recognizes people who have made important contributions to the community college movement locally, statewide and nationally. It is presented to people who have contributed significantly to the establishment and growth of North Carolina’s community colleges. The State Board of Community Colleges established the award in 1983. The award commemorates the ratification of legislation on May 17, 1963, which created the North Carolina Community College System.

Past I.E. Ready recipients have included Governor Terry Sanford, Governor Robert W. Scott, William C. Friday, Dr. Prezell Robinson and Dr. William Dallas Herring.

In addition to the I.E. Ready Award presentation, the program will honor the North Carolina Community College System retirees of the past year and the community college Excellence in Teaching Award recipient and finalists. The President’s Leadership Award, given to an outstanding student or alumnus, will also be presented.

The North Carolina Community College System, with more than 759,000 students, is the third largest community college system in the United States. The System is the state's primary agency for delivery of job training, literacy and adult education programs.

For information about attending the Day of Recognition luncheon, contact Peggy Beach at NCCCS, extension 307.

The State Board of Community Colleges established the award in 1983 to commemorate the ratification of legislation on May 17, 1963, which created the North Carolina Community College System.

Excellence in Teaching honors were also presented during the Day of Recognition Luncheon. The State Board established this award in 1985 to provide recognition for full-time teachers who exemplify the highest standard of instruction and professionalism in the classroom and excellence of service to their colleges and communities. The First Union Foundation provides monetary recognition for the winner and finalists.

Dr. Lynne E. Lichtenstein, an English instructor at Catawba Valley Community College received the Excellence in Teaching Award. Lichtenstein has taught at CVCC since 1980 and has gone above and beyond the call of duty, this year she and her husband are putting a CVCC student through school. In accepting her award she paraphrased a familiar quote, "Those who can, do; those who care, teach." The EIT finalists are: Pamela J. Silvers of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College; Cynthia McKoy of Bladen Community College: Dr. Judy C. Gordon of James Sprunt Community College; and Gerald P. Kearns of Forsyth Technical Community College.

The semi finalists for Excellence in Teaching are: William Hill of Pitt Community College; Betty Jo Dobbin of Fayetteville Technical Community College; Kay P. Brown of Wilson Technical Community College; Rita Rogers of Halifax Community College; Shelia May of Guilford Technical Community College; Sandy Smith of Carteret Community College; and Cassandra Stone of Robeson Community College.

The President's Leadership Award was established to honor students who have helped to improve campus life for their fellow students and have made significant contributions to their colleges and surrounding communities. This year’s recipient is Andres Hernandez, a recent graduate and now Trustee of Montgomery Community College.
