W.B. Evans
Daddy smarter than I gave him credit for being
One summer evening, right after we finished supper, we were sitting around the kitchen table, sorta unwinding, so to speak.
That’s when Mama uttered her current wish and this one wouldn’t wait until Christmas.
Her heart wasn’t longing for a new dress or set of fine china. I could tell by the look on Daddy’s face he knew that Mama meant business.
“I need a work table under the big mulberry tree between the back porch and the garden gate,” she said.

The worst kind of crooks
There’s crooks and then there’s the worst kind of crooks. Back in 1943, the war was going full blast and us folks back here on the home front had to do our best to keep our fighting men and women with plenty of stuff to throw at the enemy.
Now up in Washington, Mr.Roosevelt figured out that Americans had bunches of old scrap materials which could be made into bullets, tanks, ships and airplanes.

Flippin’ the Script Aug. 4-5 at USCL
Michele Roberts
For The Lancaster News
A good piece of advice is to never let your past dictate your future, and Lancaster native Patience Montgomery is coming to town in August with a message of hope for anyone stuck in a rut due to past mistakes.
Montgomery, an evangelist who founded the Flippin’ the Script women’s conference based in Houston, Texas, said this will be the fifth anniversary of the conference and she is excited to present her message to those who are feeling pressed down because of past choices that didn’t work out.

Charles C. Moore
Watkins inspired, ecouraged many students
Charles C. Moore
Special to The Lancaster News
Enrollment from when the University of South Carolina Lancaster began classes in fall of 1959 through this semester has grown from 51 to 1900.
Community leaders, professors, deans, students and their families, have had a hand in this ongoing higher education success story, including many behind the scenes.
One member of this joint effort was Barbara Croxton Watkins. Watkins was a fixture in the admissions office from 1970 until her retirement in 1995.

David Demby
Passion, love for EMS a career calling
My mother was very sick during most of my childhood. She had colon cancer. My first experience with EMS was when I was very young and EMS had to come to our home and take my mom to Columbia because she was so ill. I remember watching the medics and thinking how smart they were and how wonderfully they cared for her. At that time I knew I wanted to be a medic.
