Myrick Award presented to Eddie Lewis
by Mike Lange
DOVER-FOXCROFT – He’s
done everything from mend
fences and mow lawns at the
Piscataquis County Fairgrounds
to load backpacks with food for
youngsters in Dover-Foxcroft and
Guilford.
He also served on the DoverFoxcroft Fire Department for 46
years and was named Kiwanian
of the Year by the Dover-Foxcroft
Kiwanis Club earlier this year.
But Ralph “Eddie” Lewis had to
be convinced to show up for one
of the community’s most prestigious honors Monday night at
the Piscataquis County Economic
Development Council’s annual
meeting: the Pete Myrick award
for community service.
“I thought I had to hog-tie him
to bring him over here,” DoverFoxcroft Fire Chief Joe Guyotte
joked. “Then I told him he ought
to wear a tie. That took some convincing.”
Guyotte, State Rep. Norm Higgins, and many others praised
Lewis for his role as one of the
community’s unsung heroes.
U.S. Sen. Angus King and U.S.
Rep. Bruce Poliquin also sent videotaped congratulations to the
meeting which drew more than
100 people to the Mill Event Center.
Guyotte said that in most community organizations, “There’s
only a half-dozen who do 99 percent of the work. Eddie is the goto person at the fair. Weeks before
it starts, you’ll see him mowing
and weed-whacking everywhere.”
Lewis, 72, graduated from Dex-
ter High School in 1962, served in
the military until 1969 and went
to work for Guilford Industries
after his discharge. That same
year, he joined the Dover-Foxcroft
Fire Department and eventually
was promoted to captain. “The
captain on a fire department is
the one who goes into the building and makes sure that the fire
is out,” said Guyotte.
Lewis later worked for Judkin’s
Shop ‘N Save for over 20 years

A NORTHERN CHRISTMAS
DOWN SOUTH - Tri-County
Technical
Center
Health
Occupations students have
partnered with staff at the
Grand
Avenue
Primary
Learning Center in Orlando,
Florida to bring a northern
Christmas to students living
in the sunny south. The
TCTC students shopped for
the Florida students and put
together a holiday box for each
individual
kindergartener
containing toys, clothes, treats
and a full helping of northern
hospitality. Abby New, a Bangor native, worked with Health Occ. student Chloe Gustin and her
TCTC classmates along with TCTC staff members Sharon Foster, Barbara Herring, Donna Whalen
and Brian Welsh to make sure clothing sizes were correct and that the Santa substitutes in the
unseasonably warm, but still colder than Orlando north country knew what each child was hoping
for way down there where the mosquitos don’t need parkas. The packages are scheduled to arrive
just before Christmas break. TCTC students are hoping to participate in the package unwrapping
via Skype so they can share in the fun they’ve made possible. Pictured in front: Katelyn Bagley.

Squaw Mountain reopening date questionable
by Mike Lange
BIG MOOSE TOWNSHIP – The seven inches of snow that blanketed Big Squaw Mountain Ski Resort
earlier this month is now a distant memory as unseasonably warm weather continues in the state.
This week, a mixture of sleet, snow and freezing rain is expected for most areas north of Bangor with
Greenville right on the edge of the rain-snow line.
So the planned reopening date of December 19 will probably be postponed, although all the activities
originally planned for that day will still take place, said Amy Lane, president of the Friends of Squaw
Mountain.
“With the ground saturated and a mild extended forecast – snow guns or not – it is not likely we will
be skiing on the 19th,” Lane said. “However, we’ll still have our ski equipment swap from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
Santa Claus will be here from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., the Mittens for Moosehead collection is still going on
and Northwoods Gourmet Girl will be serving up waffles and other treats from the café.”
The local ski area bought three used snow guns from Plattekill Mountain in upstate New York last year.
Gift certificates and season passes will also be on sale, and they’ll have “family friendly entertainment
starting at 12:30 p.m. after Santa leaves,” Lane said.
The Mittens for Moosehead campaign is also looking for coats, ski pants or any kind of children’s cold
weather gear for needy families.
Northwoods Gourmet Girl is owned and operated by Abby Freethy of Greenville who will also run the
clubhouse food concession this year.
The ski swap is an extension of the November 28 event that took place at the school cafeteria. But this
weekend, sellers can bring tagged and priced items to the lodge with 10 percent of the proceeds going to
benefit Friends of Squaw Mountain.
Squaw Mountain was built in 1963 and went through a series of management changes until Jim Confalone bought it in 1995. He shut it down in 2010, but agreed to lease it to the Friends of Squaw Mountain
for a token $1 a year three years later.
It reopened in February 2013 and became a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation last year.

Local actors shine
in Center Theatre’s Christmas
by Patrick Myers, Theatrical
Reviewer and Center Theatre
Executive Director
DOVER-FOXCROFT
It
has been several years since
the Center Theatre and the
Slightly
Off-Center
Players
put on a production of Dickens’
A Christmas Carol but it has
been well worth the wait. This
adaptation of the classic tale
was written by Dani Maupin for
the Center Theatre. Several new
actors and many veterans to the
Center Theatre stage combine to
put on a wonderful performance
full of holiday cheer. In the lead
role of Ebenezer Scrooge is Pastor
Chris Viera. His strong clear voice
transitions well from the pulpit to
the stage and his passion for the
role of Scrooge and for this story
of redemption and Christmas
cheer is unmistakable.
Leading Scrooge and the
audience through the story are
two talented narrators (Dan
Porter and Janet Currie). Scrooge
is joined on stage by a series
of ghosts who in turn scare,
cheer, cajole, and encourage
Scrooge to become a better man.
Jacob Marley and the Ghost
of Christmas Future are both
played by Cary Libby who has
not only starred in previous
versions of Christmas Carol, but
has also directed one as well. His
experience and skill bring a depth
to Marley that is rarely seen.
Christmas Past is played by Alice
Myers a talented 4th grader at
SeDoMoCha Elementary. While
being considerably younger (and
shorter) than many of her fellow
actors, few will doubt who is in
charge when she takes the stage.
Derrick Buschmann, Drama
teacher at Foxcroft Academy, fills
the auditorium with his larger-
than-life portrayal of the Ghost of
Christmas Present. Resplendent
in a rich green costume he shows
Scrooge all the joy of the season.
Far from relying on any of these
actors to carry the show, this is
truly an ensemble presentation
with strong and engaging
performances from the entire
cast of 30+ local actors. This
community of “talented actors,
designers, crew, and volunteers”
is mentioned by Angela Bonacasa,
Director of A Christmas Carol
and former Executive Director
of the Center Theatre, in her
Director’s Notes: “They have
come together because of a love of
theatre, a love of this story, and
above all, a love of the community
that an experience like this
creates.” Supporting Director
Bonacasa in the production of the
show is Stage Manager Joshua
Kelley, Lighting Designer Haley
Bergeron, Sound Designer Megan
Bergeron, Costumer Wendy Voter,
and many others who volunteered
hundreds of hours to bring the
production to life.
The cast will be performing
three more shows this weekend:
Friday the 18 at 7 p.m. and
Saturday the 19 at 2 p.m. and 7
p.m. Prices have been kept low
to encourage as many people to
attend as possible with tickets
ranging from $5 to $12 for advance
tickets and $15 for tickets the day
of the show. There are also family
passes available with 4 family
members able to see the show for
only $25. For more information
on this production of A Christmas
Carol visit www.centertheatre.
org, call the Theater at 5648943, or stop in during business
hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
Dan Tilton joins Skowhegan Savings
SKOWHEGAN - Skowhegan Savings Bank has announced the
addition of Dan Tilton to their commercial and retail lending team.
Tilton has been named the Senior Vice President of Sales and
Customer Relations for the bank. He joins the bank with over 18
years of sales management experience and in this position he will
oversee both the commercial and retail lending teams.
“We’re very pleased to have someone of Dan’s caliber join the
bank,” said John Witherspoon, president. “His broad experience in
customer relations and business development will help us deepen our
customer relationships and assure that we are meeting the needs of
our customers and communities. “
Previously, Tilton was the vice president of sales at Pride
Manufacturing in Burnham, Maine where he led sales and customer
service teams worldwide for multiple locations in the US and UK. He
most recently comes to the bank from Blackstream Creative, based
out of McMinnville, Tennessee, where he spearheaded the startup’s
launch into the marketplace in 2006 as the vice president of sales
overseeing sales, marketing and customer service for the company.
Tilton earned his bachelor’s of science in business management
and accounting at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts. He
is active in his community having served on the Sebasticook Valley
Federal Credit Union’s board of directors where he held the position
of chair for five years.
Tilton lives in Detroit, Maine, with his wife and children where he
enjoys hunting, fishing, ice hockey, golfing and spending time with his
family.
7KDQN<RX The family of Alice Guay would like to extend their appreciation
for the community, friends, and co-workers support during
our time of need due to Alice’s passing. The flowers, cards,
handshakes, and hugs were greatly needed and delivered.
The monetary donations to her memorial fund will help many
young people that are in need. You all have made this difficult
time a little more bearable for her family. Thank you!

CLIFFORD E MACKAY
HARMONY- Clifford E Mackay,
age 95, passed away peacefully
surrounded by family on December 1st, 2015 at his residence. He
was born November
10, 1920
in Brooklyn, NY. He was the
son of Frank and Marie (Cornelius) Mackay. He was raised in
Valley Stream, NY, and graduated from Valley Stream High
School. He enlisted in the Army
and served in WWII and the Korean War, and was commissioned
Clifford E. Mackay
2nd Lieutenant in 1945. He ran
his own business, Mackay’s Plumbing and Heating, and was a hard
worker even after retirement. He married Grace (Antonsen) in 1949,
and together they raised their 3 children in Brentwood, NY. He was
a devoted husband, father, and grandfather (“Papa”), who loved his
family dearly and eventually moved to Maine in 2004 to be closer to
his children. He enjoyed gardening, and had a “green thumb” growing vegetables. He was predeceased by his parents, brothers Frank
and Wilbert, sister Gloria, and wife Grace of 64 years. He is survived
by his children: daughter Christine and husband James Dimauro of
Parkman, daughter Cindy and husband Ron Strouse of Cambridge,
son Clifford A. Mackay of Harmony, grandchildren Ronald Strouse
and his partner Katy, and Kristy Strouse and her partner Kenny, and
great grandchild Eva Jean Strouse. A special niece (godchild) Kathy
and husband Bob Laviano, whose visits he enjoyed very much. Special
niece Rhonda Salica and her partner Gary, and several nieces and
nephews and their families. A heartfelt thanks to all of the nurses
and aides from Maine General Health Hospice for the care and comfort they provided. No services will be held.
“Papa”
I have considered all the ways one could comprise 95 years into
something comprehensible, how to convey my Grandfather into words
when perception varies. Though in this case no one ever looked in
Papa’s eyes and saw anything but generosity and spirit. Still, it would
take an anthology to just scratch the surface of his accomplishments,
his character, and you would still be missing the personal moments
that connect each of us to him. I know he would want plenty of laughter because it was monumental in his life (his own a sound I’ll forever
long to hear). And I would reference food, one of his loves, and say
this: like a quality recipe Clifford Mackay was a unique mix. A man
made of kindness and strength, courage and intelligence, with the
rare ability to see humor and joy in all situations. But it was his eccentricities, his quirks; those not scripted, that made him memorable.
The warmth he shared will never leave this world, or our hearts, even
if he has. This is merely a haiku compared to the great novel that was
our patriarch, and his story - however perceived- continues on in all
of us who had the privilege of knowing him.
Love Kristy, your Granddaughter.
DALE E. RACKLIFF
HARMONY-Dale E. Rackliff, 69, passed away unexpectedly at his
home in Harmony with loved ones by his side on Wednesday, December 9, 2015. He was born April 13, 1946 in New Sharon, Maine to the
late Leon and Bertha (Bachelder) Rackliff. He was one of 11 children.
He grew up in New Sharon, settled in Jay and became a volunteer fire
fighter for many years. Later he spent several years as a machinist
in various companies throughout his lifetime leading to his retirement from B & B Precise Products in Benton. He was very special
to many and always brought laughs to our all-day campfires which
was one of the things he enjoyed most. Some of his other enjoyments
included dancing, snowmobiling and watching NASCAR and football.
His very favorite thing was camping with family and friends which he
loved to beat at a good game of cards. He is survived by his wife of 27
years, Crystal (Trafton) Rackliff of Harmony and their children: Gary
Rackliff and wife Melissa; Althea Rackliff and significant other Darren Richard and her children, Shae and Kristopher and his children
Kolten and Keegan; Valerie Rackliff and significant other Rob Keller
and their daughter Roslyn; Lori Cushing and fiancé Doug and her
Dale E. Rackliff
children Chayse and Jessie; Chad Rackliff and his daughter Elizabeth
and her significant other Kyle Hancock; Lisa Rackliff Rice and husband James and their children Maverick and Montana. He is also survived by his siblings: Dennis and wife Janet of Dixfield; Greg and wife
Lorelei of Winslow; Stanley and wife Lisa; Raynold and wife Elnora and Neil, all of Wilton; Nelson and
fiancé Shirley of Chesterville; and Peggy Sue Paradis and husband Ron of Lewiston; sister-in-law Polly of
Lewiston and a brother-in-law Donnie Knight of Jay along with step siblings and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his step-father Frank Cox and step-mother Ida Rackliff;
sisters: Beverly Trafton and Nancy Knight; and his brother Buddie. The family would like to send special
thanks to the Harmony Ambulance Service for their assistance. The family received friends from 6-8 p.m.,
Monday, December 14, at the Shorey-Nichols Funeral Home, 191 Hartland Avenue, Pittsfield. A funeral
service was held at 11 a.m., Tuesday, December 15, at the funeral home with Pastor Henry Thibodaux. A
committal immediately followed at the Libby Cemetery in Harmony. In lieu of flowers, those who wish
to make a memorial contribution can do so to one of the following: The Harmony Ambulance Service, 37

Penquis students artwork
showcased at Hall of Flags
by Mike Lange
AUGUSTA – Visitors to the Hall of Flags in the State House can now view some of the best artwork by
Maine high school students between now and February 29, following last week’s kickoff of the Excellence
in Maine Visual and Performing Arts Education.
Out of the 63 participating students, 11 are from Penquis Valley High School in Milo.
“We were very pleased,” said art teacher Sasha Bladen. “We’ll have gridded pen-and-ink along with
some digital photograph submissions on exhibit.”
Participating students were Brooke Champeon, Walker Clark, Mackenzie Conley, Christopher Johnson,
Michael Lally, Alexis Peters, Jericho Prado, Jordan Prendergast, Selena Seibert, Telos Wallace and Rachel
Whitten.
Other participating schools were from AOS 92 (Waterville-Winslow), AOS 93 (Damariscotta area) and
Biddeford School Department.
First Lady Ann LePage presented each art student a certificate and a letter from Gov. Paul R. LePage
recognizing their creative accomplishments during the Dec. 4 exhibit opening.
“Arts education is essential for all students in order to gain the skills needed to develop college and
career readiness, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity so that Maine kids can succeed in
the ever-changing diverse and global economies of today’s world,” Maine DOE Visual and Performing Arts
Specialist Beth Lambert said in a press release from the Department of Education.
Bladen agreed. “Art requires self-motivation,” she said. “When students see their progress, it makes
them want to work even harder.”
The third-year art teacher said that Penquis Valley will be joining other Maine schools in implementing
national standards for art courses in the next few years. “The courses will be more in-depth and specific,”
she explained. “Art not only enhances creative-thinking skills, but it’s part of our everyday life – from
computer programming to furniture design.”
Christian Fellowship moves to
former elementary school in Garland
GARLAND - There’s a new presence on Sundays at the Garland Community Center! Garland Christian
Fellowship has become the first renter of the newly converted former elementary school building, which
has become the new Town Office, located at 108 Corinth Road.
Garland Christian Fellowship began meeting in a home six years ago. At that time there were a
handful of families, but their numbers have now grown to more than 50 people (including a delightful host
of young ones). Preferring not to own a building of their own, they are very pleased with the new facility.
There’s room enough to expand -- and it allows them to continue the practice of sharing a meal together
after the Bible teaching hour.
How might its members describe the young church? “We simply try to live out the teachings of Christ
and the apostles as recorded in the Bible. Jesus saved us from our sins and in gratitude, we try to live for
Him. The example and teaching of the early Christians was that ‘church’ is not about buildings but God
and His people. Christ is our Master, the Bible gives us light, so we study and teach it -- and we love one
another.”
The public is welcome! They meet every Sunday at 11:15 a.m. -- and they’d love to have anyone stay
for lunch. Small groups meet in homes during the week, for Bible study, fellowship and prayer. Currently,
these mid-week groups meet in Garland, Dover-Foxcroft and Parkman. They also hold a Kids’ Bible Club
on Tuesday afternoons in a home in Garland. Interested in more information? Feel free to call 200-1211
or email them at [email protected]. Or you can visit the website: garlandchristianfellowship.org

PVAEC looks for more
business partnerships
Land Use Planning Commision
approves new store and cabins at Rip Dam
by Mike Lange
MILO – Prior to 2005, adult education programs in the Penquis
region weren’t very popular and
considered by some people to be a
drag on the local school budgets.
But eventually, former SAD 41
Superintendent David Walker,
the late Warren “Pete” Myrick,
who served as SAD 4 adult education director and former SAD 4
Superintendent – and now State
Representative – Paul Stearns
helped turn the program around
and eventually, saw it evolve into
the Piscataquis Valley Adult Education Cooperative.
Today, PVAEC is providing new
educational opportunities for
residents and helping local businesses find qualified employees,
Executive Director Thelma Regan told the Three Rivers Kiwanis Club last week.
“People come to us for a variety
of reasons,” Regan said. “We have
our basic education programs; a
high school equivalency program
similar to GED, but a little more
rigorous; and a college transition program where we prepare
students for college without having to take remedial courses at a
college-tuition price.”
PCAEC also offers career development programs like certified nursing assistant and commercial truck driving. “We are
always trying to figure out how
we can connect people and employers,” Regan said. “That helps
us achieve our goal of raising the
standard of living.”
One successful example is
the certified nurse’s aide (CNA)
program which normally has
only two classes of 10 students
each. “This year, we’re running
four programs,” she said. “Hibbard Nursing and Rehabilitation
Center came to us and said they
needed help, so we started working with them.”
Under one scenario, the CNA
course tuition will be forgiven for
graduates who agree to work at
Hibbard’s for a minimum of one
year, Regan said. “That’s a wonderful opportunity,” she added. “It
also has a positive impact on the
community.”

TOWNSHIP 3 RANGE 11 – While winter has been reluctant to make an appearance so far, the owners
of Rip Dam Sporting Camps and Abol Bridge Campground in northeast Piscataquis County are already
making plans for next summer.
“We made a lot of headway last summer,” said David Surprenant, who owns the businesses with his
wife, Luisa, “and there’s a lot more to do.”
The Land Use Planning Commission recently approved an application to restore a vital part of the Rip
Dam camps: the former Pray’s General Store. “We’re going to rebuild the store and another cabin that will
serve as staff housing for both Rip and Abol,” Surprenant said. “We will start construction next spring.”
Pray’s Store, which was owned and operator by former Maine Senate President Charles Pray, was a
fixture on the Golden Road for decades.
The Surprenants bought the Rip Dam property in April 2012 and demolished and removed a mobile
home, two garages, two sheds, a duplex rental cabin along with the store. The new store and cabin will
both be 20-by-32 feet, according to the LUPC application.
“We’ve extensively renovated all five cabins at Rip Dam, too – gutted them out completely and put on
log siding,” Surprenant said. “We have all new windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, carpeting, furniture,
and beds.”
At Abol Bridge Campground, the Surprenants have added 10 new bunkhouses that sleep six each and
a post-and-beam open-air pavilion at the base of Katahdin on Abol Stream called the “Ktaadn Pavilion”
that seats 160.
Abol Bridge is also the new base camp for Northern Outdoors of The Forks, Surprenant said. “They are
Maine’s first and oldest whitewater rafting company and the only one located right on the West Branch
of the Penobscot,” he added. “That puts rafters 10 miles from the put-in at McKay station; or, if they’re
staying at Rip Dam Cabins, they are only one-eighth of a mile away.”
Last summer, the Maine Department of Economic Development approved a $120,000 Micro-Enterprise
Assistance grant for the campgrounds for equipment, furnishings and working capital, which will be
matched by $120,000 from the business.
Updates on the construction will be posted at www.greatnorthernvacations.com.
PVAEC also partners with TriCounty Technical Center in Dexter on the commercial truck driving courses. Successful students
can land jobs with Sargent Corporation in the summer months
and R.H. Foster Inc. during the
winter and spring heating season.
“The CDL-B course is a little
easier than the ‘A’ course because
not everyone is able to drive a
tractor-trailer,” Regan said. Drivers with CDL-B license permits
can operate heavy vehicles like
dump trucks and oil delivery
tankers.
The demographics of the
PVAEC student body are also
changing. “The under age 24
group is growing,” Regan said.
“Young people who get disenfranchised in the regular K-12 system
are realizing that they can’t really achieve much if they don’t have
their diploma.”
Middle-age PVAEC students
also serve as an inspiration to
the younger group, Regan noted.
“They emphasize the value of education,” she explained. “They’ll
say ‘I’m your mom and I’m doing
it the hard way. I also have to run
the household and take care of
children.’ But they still see the
value of education.”
Regan said that other courses
in the planning stages include
woodworking, which could help
prepare workers for positions at
JSI Store Fixtures, Milo’s largest
private employer.
Another concept is a pool of
food service employees who could
work catering events on an asneeded basis.
In all cases, Regan stressed
that adult education “is not easier than regular high school. The
only advantage is that you can
take courses on your time frame
… But the old days of calling
GED’s ‘Good Enough Diplomas’
are long gone.”

PETE MYRICK AWARD – Ralph “Eddie” Lewis of Dover-Foxcroft was presented with the Pete Myrick
award for community service at the Piscataquis County Economic Development Council’s annual meeting
on December 14. Pictured, from left, are Paul Raymond and Deb Somers, representing the Dover-Foxcroft
Kiwanis Club; Lewis, Dover-Foxcroft Fire Chief Joe Guyotte and incoming PCEDC President Tom Goulette. (Eastern Gazette photo – Mike Lange)
Myrick Award from Page 11
taking care of the frozen food and
produce aisles.
Higgins said that Lewis was a
perfect choice for the honor since
he, like the late “Pete” Myrick,
willingly donated his time “never asking for anything in return
– never expecting an award. In
fact, if Pete was around, he’d be a
little embarrassed if he received
his own award … But if he was
here today, he’d extend his hand
to Eddie and say, ‘Job well done.’”
Myrick was a social studies
teacher, coach, athletic director,
assistant principal and adult education director in School Administrative District 4 and one of the
founders of PCEDC. He passed
away in 2002.
King, in his video message, also
praised PDEDC for its dedication
and ongoing efforts to bring jobs
to the region. “It’s the really the
‘secret sauce’ that makes good
things happen,” King said.
He also mentioned that he
knew Pete Myrick’s son, Gary,
who works for the C-SPAN network. “Coming down here three
years ago as a brand-new senator,
it was great to have him take me
under his wing and show me how
all this process works,” King said.
At the annual business meeting, Guilford Town Manager Tom
Goulette was elected president
of the council, succeeding Matt
Pineo of Brownville, who was recently hired as Jackman’s town
manager.

Dexter Family Practice “loses their marbles”
DEXTER - The Dexter Family
Practice Quality Care Team
along with their participating
patients, patient families, friends
and colleagues will be celebrating
their 1000 pound weight loss
achievement thus far in their
“Marble Weight Loss Challenge”
On January 11.
Since late May of this year,
patients at Dexter Family
Practice have collectively lost
more than 1000 pounds. This
weight loss challenge which
started as a patient incentive
has grown into a successful,
innovative and inspiring venture.
For each pound lost by a patient,
one marble is placed in a jar,
one jar for the ladies and one
jar for the men. Many folks who
have been struggling for years
with weight loss have been
successfully placing marbles in
the jar consistently for months.
Everyone is invited to this
community open house. There
will be representation from the
State of Maine, Quality Counts
of Maine as well as guest star
patients
showcasing
their
success.
Billy Sudduth to speak at New Life Church
GREENVILLE - Billy Sudduth
is a young man with a great
passion for the Lord and a strong
desire to fulfill the calling that
God has placed on his life.
From an early age Billy faced a
lot of challenges. As a former drug
addict, and High School drop-out,
many times he was unsure where
he would lay his head at night.
At 23 years of age, Billy had
a radical transformation take
place after giving his heart to
God. He desired to restore others
through the same power he has
experienced. Especially, those
who have grown up without a
father.
In 2008 Billy graduated from
Faith School of Theology in
Charleston as valedictorian of his
class. The fact that he dropped
out of school in tenth grade again
tells a tale of God’s restorative
power.
Billy will be speaking at New
Life Church, 60 Mayhew Manor
in Greenville on December 27 at
10 a.m. For rides call 735-6564.
