Rappahannock News, May 29, 1975

I VIRGINIA RCHS sports awards presented “STATE cross country champions, district boys track champs and second in regionals, with girls track group fourth in the district— ‘ain’t’ bad for a school without a track!” These were some comments made at the fourth annual RCHS sports award banquet Tuesday night by assistant principal and Athletic Director George Patterson. The dinner was held at the Culpeper Holiday Inn where the marquee projected, “Welcome, Rappahannock High School.” In the presentations two Panther coaches received Skyline District Coach-of-the Year awards, and Bill Taylor, ace runner from Sperry ville, took home three trophies, including the coveted Sportsmanship award, the second one to go to the Taylor home. Bill repeated his brother Tom’s feat of the previous year. Bill was named the most valuable track man and the most valuable cross country runner. Jerry Thomas was named Most Improved Cross Country runner. John Toth, cross country and track coach, was named Skyline District Track Coach of the Year and was presented an engraved plaque. Under his direction the RCHS Panthers captured first place in Skyline District, and placed second in the region in track competition. Upon receiving the award, Coach Toth declared the trophy was the product of his STATE lir n.nnt i||gr hlM| 111 111,1 |ir was very proud. Toth also was given an engraved silver dish by his sports students, a token of the esteem in which he is held by these young men. BASEBALL coach Preston Douglas was named Coach of the Year, also, and likewise given an engraved plaque from Skyline District. Neither of the coaches were aware of the honor until the presentations. Receiving certificates in JV Girls basketball were Mae Dunn, Eleanor Philips, Patricia Mahoney, Connie Del Grosso, Rhonda Estes, Mary Jqrdan, Joyce Smoot, Sandra Hudson, Sharon Grigsby, Jackie Myers. Mae Dunn was given the Most Valuable Player award. Girls Varsity basketball found Carolyn Dodson, Sharon Poster, Diane Freeman, Margaret Dunn, Violet Scott, Faye Dunn, Mollie Dennis and Marie Fletcher with certificates and letters. Marie Fletcher was named most improved player and Mollie Dennis, Most Valuable Player, Miss AnnSpieker is coach of these groups. Jerry Campbell, coach of the RCHS Junior Varsity basketball group, presented certificates to Allen Smoot, Donald Compton, James Jordan, Brooke Miller, Keith Roberts, Tommy Banks, See Page 14 An awards banquet recognizing Rappahannock County High School students who have participated in and excelled in sports during the 1974-75 sessions was held Tuesday evening. Bill Taylor of Sperryville, outstanding in many categories, appeared pleased with his lot. He received the Sportsmanship award which speaks for itself and won the Most Valuable Player award in cross country and track. George Patterson, left, Athletic Director, congratulates Bill. Requested zoning exceptions denied BY PEKAY PETTUS IF EVER Rappahannock’s Planning Commissioners have had a clear mandate from the audience at a public hearing, they had one last Wednesday night, May 21. So the planners denied attorney T.C. Lea’s request, on behalf of the heirs of J.L. Williams, for a rezoning and exceptions to the subdivision ordinance, even though Lea and his clients were not present to make their case. Opponents of the rezoning had come to the hearing expecting to confront Lea and his clients, but they had the floor to themselves. Two days prior to the hearing, Fanning Baumgardner said the zoning office had received a letter from Lea, stating that he had just realized the date of the hearing conflicted with a speaking engagement he’d had for months. Lea asked that the hearing be postponed until the next meeting of the Planning Commission. “Had 1 known of the date of the hearing,” Lea wrote, he wouldn’t have filed the application until a month later. His clients would pay the costs of additional advertising, Lea said. Baumgardner had discussed Lea’s request with Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis, and according to Baumgardner, Davis said it would be all right to postpone the hearing. With 30 some persons sitting in the courtroom for the hearing, Pete Luke made a motion that the Planning Commission go ahead and hear from the opponents that night, and hear from T.C. Lea later. That suggestion brought James Jackson Kilpatrick, the newspaper columnist who is one of Rappahannock’s resident celebrities, to his feet. “Mr. Chairman, if I may speak?” he said, addressing Herbert Barksdale. ‘‘1 find it inconceivable that Mr. Lea did not know of this hearing tonight. He has cleverly turned things topsy turvy, so that you will hear from the objectors tonight and give him a private hearing at some other date.” “WE WHO oppose this request came here tonight at great trouble and expense, while Mr. Lea, for personal reasons, chose not to appear. He had his bite at the cherry and he didn’t take it,” Kilpatrick said. “I’d like to uphold everything Mr. Kilpatrick said,” Captain Richard Tuma said. “It’s not fair to let a lawyer pull all this funny stuff. We’re here tonight, even if he isn’t.” “I believe Mr. Lea could have been represented,” Phil Irwin said. “I suggest concluding the proceedings tonight.” Fanning Baumgardner said he had all the correspondence concerning Lea’s application and he could present Lea’s side of the request from that. T.C. Lea’s clients, heirs to the J.L. Williams estate, wanted to rezone the tract from agriculture to residential, in order to sub divide it into eight different lots. They wanted an exception to the subdivision ordinance because the size, shape and road frontage on several of the lots would not conform to the standards established by the subdivision ordinance. WHILE THE Planning Commissioners were making up their minds on whether to go ahead with the hearing without Lea, Kilpatrick rose to speak again. “With great deference to Mr. Lea,” he began, “I’ve covered courts for 35 years and I recognize this as a lawyers’ trick. He is wandering off to make a speech while you consider the most important challenge to the zoning law since it was enacted. I will not speak on this request tonight, because I will not be party to a lawyers’ trick, but I will cancel a lucrative speaking engagement for July 18, so that I may be here at that meeting.” “I ask you gentlemen, do not See Page g

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Wasbmton 475-3349 Improving nature “FARMING is always a gamble, you know,” the farmer’s wife said, just last week. Her husband was out in the fields, haying, and it looked like a thundershower was blowing up. It may sound trite to remind readers in a rural area that farming is, indeed, a gamble, but some of the testimony heard at a recent “flood control” project hearing makes you wonder. Maybe some people need some reminding. “Flood control,” from what we’ve seen of such proposals, is little more than a process of transferring the flooding from one part of the stream,to another. If it’s done right—if “right” is the apt word for this situation—the flooding is transferred to a place where it won’t do any harm, where it won’t inundate buildings or wash away bridges. But the point to remember is that the flooding isn’t really “controlled”; not even King Canute could command the tides. It’s merely transferred. Thus, in Prince William County, there have been elaborate proposals to transfer flooding to upstream farmland to save some subdivision houses that were unwisely built in flood plain downstream. Likewise, in Arlington, there have been multi-billion dollar “control” schemes put forward which are designed to save the investment of businesses which were unwisely established in flood-prone areas. In both instances, it would probably be cheaper, and more certain, to use the money to buy up the flooded properties and raze them. BUT SUCH “control” follies are not confined to cities and subdivisions. Some farmers who appeared at the “flood control” project hearing mentioned earlier complained that they had “good bottomland” that they couldn’t work with regularity because of the threat of floods. They wanted dams built so these bottomlands would never be flooded and they could farm them all the time. Maybe we missed a lecture somewhere along the line, or a certain chapter was torn out of the books we read? but it has always been our understanding that bottomland is so rich and fertile in the first place because it is occasionally flooded. The farmer’s gamble has been to risk loss of a crop this year on the knowledge that next year this rich delta would produce crops of sufficient size and quality to make up for the loss and still realize a profit. THE POINT is that even some of the most high-sounding “improvements” on nature are not always what they seem. Conservationists and pollution fighters discovered this point long ago in the case of sewage treatment plants, which were supposed to have resulted in clean streams but which more often than not wind up as a major source of pollution themselves, and as a far worse catalyst for new and worse forms of pollution.□ Letters to the editor To senior citizens Editor: If you’re a citizen of senior age and you no longer earn a wage, be cheerful!

Letters to the editor Phil Irwin replies Editor: Referring to the article in last edition by Ed Harris denouncing the SCC powerline decision, we feel it necessary to correct an error. House Bill 664 was introduced quickly and quietly in the 1974 General Assembly at the Request of Virginia’s utility interests and, we later learned first hand, with the full support of each SCC Commissioner. The day of the bill’s printing we were informed and did everything possible to include phone calls, telegrams, letters and a statement of opposition for presentation at committee hearings. The rushed efforts prevented unanimous passage in both ^chambers. We do recall subsequently explaining the logic behind the bill to soothe Mr. Harris and suggest why no one really had a chance to defeat it. It is unconscionable that Mr. Harris would, while admittedly angry and upset, write another in a series of distortions, that HB 664 was felt to be a good thing. Both RLEP and its President have established a more than adequate record of supporting the lawful prerogatives and responsibilities of local government. We are not aware of any local government ever having blocked a transmission line. Your newspapers have upheld well our nation’s basic freedoms of speech and press. We would never deny Mr. Harris your forum. However, his frequent use of less than the truth and often total ignorance or misuse of facts in powerline-related writings have cast a dark shadow on his prizewinning credentials as a journalist. But more important, we feel, he has damaged our case by the confusion of totally unrelated matters and alienation of those whose good will and donations are still needed. Since Mr. Harris has not been among the significant contributors, the sum total of his efforts appears, to us, negative. Mr. Harris should not be disappointed with the effectiveness of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, its elected leadership, its attorneys nor the record established by its expert witnesses both before and durllTg twefiTy'-One days of formal hearings. Our case was designed and presented with a far greater purpose than merely rerouting the line off the Harris land onto the land of his neighbors. The use of existing corridors rather than anyone’s virgin land whenever need for new transmission capacity is established was obviously beyond his personal interest and support. We turn our attention now to mounting an appeal to Virginia’s Supreme Court. RLEP’s quarterly public meeting on Friday, June 6 (8 p.m. at the Rappahannock Courthouse) will be devoted, at least in part, to a review of the entire project and forecast for an appeal.

Planners wary of a federal grant RAPPAHANNOCK’S planners don’t all agree whether the county should accept unsought federal handouts. At least they didn’t at their meeting last Wednesday night, May 21. Art Warren, executive director of Planning District Nine, told the Planners that he’d received word “from HUD, our great saviour in Washington.” “Oh no, we’re always afraid of them,” chairman Herbert Barksdale said. Warren said that HUD can make available to Rappahannock “funding for planning.” The money could be used in drafting a master plan, Warren said, noting that Rappahannock has begun work on that project.

CULPEPER “Outside of a first mortgage on every citizen in Rappahannock County, what are the strings?’’ Barksdale asked. “I think they’re the only strings,” Warren smiled. “LET’S KEEP the federal government out of this,” Walter Masterson said. “When we take money from them, we’re just ripping somebody else off. Then they rip us off later.” Pete Luke disagreed. “If that money’s in Virginia, I want it in this county.” “But you’re perpetuating a fallacy,” Masterson protested. “I can’t help that,” Luke said. “I can help my conscience,” Barksdale said. “We drew up our ordinances without outside help and outside money.” Newbill Miller asked if there was any hurry in deciding to accept the federal money or in drafting a master plan. “What are the benefits not already rendered by the zoning and subdivision ordi Another shooting confession heard An excess of confessed murderers has developed in the shooting of James Gatewood of Washington which took place May 8 at Pine Knot Inn. Marvin Renzie of near Amissville is presently being held on $10,000 bond for the slaying. The 18-year-old youth confessed after Maurice Ausberry of Flint Hill, who had claimed at the death scene to be the one who did the shooting, told authorities that he was covering up for Renzie. Ausberry was released and the new suspect charged. □ AUXILIARY MEETING The monthly meeting of the Flint Hill Ladies Auxiliary will be June 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the fire hall.L BRIDGE PARTY Mrs. Emory Russell entertained the Flint Hill Bridge Club Monday incher home.

BIDS The Rappahannock County Recreation Center Association invites the submission of separate bids to construct an outdoor pavillion on the grounds of the Association located on Route 211 at Washington, Virginia. Bids will be received until 2:00 P.M., June 9 , 1975 at which time and place all bids will be opened and read aloud. Address all bids to Rappahannock County Treasurer’s Office, Box 37, Washington, Virginia 22747—Attention—Thomas G. Eastham. Specifications will be available at the Rappahannock County Treasurer’s Office. The Association reserves the right to reject any and all bids. Thomas G. Eastham President nances? This is something that can be done in 1979,” Miller thought. Luke said the advantage of a master plan was that it ‘‘let’s you look at the county as a whole, not in bite-size pieces.” Luke said he felt the study on land use in Rappahannock County prepared by Gene Wunderlich of the U.S. Department of Agriculture was helpful in explaining what’s happening to land in Rappahannock. ‘‘I came to the conclusion we don’t need anymore Wunderlich,” Barksdale said. PHIL IRWIN said the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, of which he is president, has sponsored the master plan ‘‘as a local product” and will continue to help with the plan. So far, only local funds have been used, he noted. Luke said the county didn’t need a large sum of money, like $15, 000, for planning. ‘‘What we need is something like petty cash, something to go to when we need it.” The Planners thanked Warren for coming to tell them the money is available, but they didn’t make a decision on whether or not to accept it. PHIL IRWIN reported to the Planning Commissioners that the State Corporation Commission has approved the rights-of-way requested by V irginia Electric and Power Company. "We are terribly distressed,” Irwin said, not ing that RLEP was one of the major parties involved in the suit protesting Vepco’s powerline request. “We will reserve comment on how it happened, and why it happened, and on the composition of the SCC, until we’ve had a chance to read their decision,” he said. Meanwhile, Irwin suggested that the Planning Commission might want to consider a statement, reflecting their disappointment at the See’s action. Irwin said he has talked with several landowners in the Flint Hill and Huntly area, which will be affected by the new powerline, and he expects that an appeal of the See decision can be funded. Herbert Barksdale asked Luke how many people in Rappahannock are opposed to the powerline. ‘‘After all, we represent the whole county,” he said. IRWIN SAID that as far as he knew only two people had accepted Vepco’s offer for right-ofway payments. Everyone else who owned property affected has opposed it. And the membership of RLEP, which is county-wide, has opposed it. Newbill Miller added that several public hearings had been held on the proposed powerline. ‘‘They were packed and not one single person was for it.” The Planning Commissioners agreed to send a letter expressing their disappointment with the SCC’s decision.—Pekay Pettus Some votes of thanks Editor: I wish to express my appreciation for the work done by those who staffed our county’s schools this year. 1 believe it is possible to take for granted those who labor long and hard to give us the education we want for our children. 1 also want to thank our School Board for granting the use of the school to the \ethers Community School Summer Project of Lectures on Energy. The people of our community should take advantage of this opportunity to educate themselves on a subject that will have such a far-reaching effect on our future. Finally, 1 sincerely hope that more and more people are realizing the effect that the Chapter 10 Mental Health and Retardation Services Board is having in our county. Many services are being provided to help people feel a sense of wholeness once again. A vote of thanks to those who serve on that Board from our county, and to Mr. David Schwemer and his staff in Culpeper. And, most of all, to our Board of Supervisors who have made it possible during this past year by putting Chapter 10 into our county budget. Rev. Ronald Wiley FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE, INC.

State auto tag reminder Division of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Yern L. Hill reminds Virginia passenger car owners with May decals on their license plates to renew registrations and buy new 1976 decals. “May is our heaviest month, since over 300,000 car owners have selected it for license renewal. For this reason, we ask all of our patrons to act early so as to avoid possible crowded conditions in DMY offices as the May 31 deadline approaches.” Notices have been mailed to all May decal holders. However, even if a notice is not received, car owners can renew decals immediately by presenting their current registration card at any DMY office or vehicle license agency. Hill further suggested that motorists check the decals on their license plates if not certain of the renewal month. Tardy owners appear daily at DMY offices to buy decals after being ticketed for delinquency.

I will withdraw for now, but I will be back,” Kilpatrick told the planners. ‘‘Mr. Lea is wandering abroad in the land tonight, to speak to some public group, because he didn’t choose to respond to your advertisement which the rest of us read,” Kilpatrick said, with the voice and gestures of a seasoned speaker. ‘‘Mr. Lea saw that ad. He is an intelligent man. He reads the English language. But while we chose to be here, Mr. Lea wanders abroad in the land...” Kilpatrick continued. Kilpatrick was still standing when chairman Herbert Barksdale began explaining that the Planning Commission didn’t have time to notify anyone that the hearing was called off. Kilpatrick never sat back down; he left the courtroom. Captain Tuma said Lea’s case ‘‘should be thrown out and forgotten.” Pete Luke then said, ‘‘Okay, I’ll withdraw my motion.” He had moved, near the beginning of the meeting to go ahead and let the opponents speak and hear Lea’s case later. PLANNING Commissioner David Fannon said, ‘‘If we make a decision, a recommendation, the supervisors will have another hearing.” Planning Commissioner Walter Masterson said, “This is a formal application; why can’t we go ahead and act..?” Planning Commissioner A.Y. Stokes said, “It was advertised.” Masterson said “the Supervisors will make the decision...” He made a motion to go ahead and make a recommendation to the Supervisors that night. Stokes seconded it. Mrs. John Crews asked Baumgardner if he could summarize what Lea and his clients were requesting. Eileen Day wanted to know that, too. “Maybe we don’t need him (Lea),” she said. BUT AUBREY Keyser wasn’t so sure the Planning Commissioners should go ahead. “Maybe this is just what Mr. Lea wants you to do. Then he could take you to court because he wasn’t here.” Phil Irwin said, “I respectfully request, on behalf of the membership of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, the people here tonight have shown unanimous opposition to this request, and that you deny it.” Fanning Baumgardner read Lea’s request. His clients wanted to subdivide the J.L. Williams tract, in the area of Routes 621, 626 and 668, into eight lots in order to convey the property to Williams heirs. Lea’s application notes that the Williams family is FRESH SEAFOOD FRESH FISH FILLET CRAB MEAT SCALLOPS FRESH SELECT OYSTERS LIVE LOBSTERS CLAMS (in shell) STEAMED CRABS SOFT SHELL CRABS Also Large selection of Fresh Fish, not cleaned 9a.m.-5p.m. Friday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday TICK’S seafood NOTICE Because of continued public abuse, the dumpsters at Hampton Inn will be removed. Dumpsters are located at: Slate Mills, Castleton Fire House, Settle’s Store at Castleton, Chester Gap, Huntly, \missville, H & J Grocery, Payne’s Garage Sperryville Corner Store, Scrabble School Everyone should obey a lew simple rules: 1. Burn all paper, boxes and wood. 2. Mash all cans. 3. Break all glass battles. 4. Do not put wet garbage in trash containers. 5. Da not take brush cuttings to container sites. E. P. Luke Chairman of Trash Committee “one of the most respected in Rappahannock.” “The whole thing is, he’sasking for an exception to the subdivision ordinance,” Baumgardner said. Only five lots would be permitted on the tract by law. The proposed division of the tract is also contrary to subdivision and zoning law concerning lot size and road frontage. E.N. Montague said he didn’t see how the planners could entertain the request favorably. Mr. Lea is employing a “common legal practice,” Montague said. “To postpone and postpone until the adverse witnesses no longer appear. I can’t subscrive motives,” Montague said, “but I can suspect.” FRANCES CARNEY asked if the heirs would be able to sell the subdivided tracts to anyone, once the subdivision were approved. Baumgardner said they would. “Then we can forget this about the heirs,” she said. “Except he’s maintaining that’s part of the justification for asking for an exception,” Baumgardner said. Captain Tuma spoke again. He had bought property in Oscar Lindgren’s Peyton Farms subdivision and Lindgren had had to abide by “fhp laws von nut on the books. I can’t see what all this talk is about,” Tuma said. Howard Holschuch said “none of the family or the heirs are here tonight. 1 think that’s significant.” Baumgardner said someone representing the family might be present, though they hadn’t said anything. After a few moments, Lewis - Butler spoke. “‘I’m one of the heirs they’re trying to convey the property to, but I’ve never been here before, so I don’t know what this is about.” Butler said the others must have been told not to come, but he hadn’t received the word. “I thought the motion was passed to hear and decide this tonight,” Pete Luke said. “In view of the fact not but one side is here, I’m not sure we can make a decision,” Herbert Barksdale said. BAUMGARDNER noted that nearly 35 people had come to the hearing, and no one had spoken in favor of the request. Mrs. John Crews said she’d come 50 miles to attend the hearing; she added she also has a place in Lindgren’s Peyton Farms. Phil Irwin said he didn’t think it was fair for the Planning Commissioners to expect people to speak at two public hearings. Luke asked for a show of hands on the request — twenty people were ag ainst, none were for. Luke read the section of the county ordinance that states “it is the mutual responsibility of the subdivider and the county to improve the land use.” Luke said he didn’t think this request would be “consistent with the pattern of land use we want in this area,” and made a motion to deny both the requests for rezoning and an exception to the subdivision ordinance. The planners approved his motion unanimously. Chairman Herbert Barksdale asked Luke to “get with the commonwealth’s attorney and tie in the wording of the motion with the ordinance. ”□ HOMECOMING Gid Brown Bible Church will have Homecoming Services Sunday, June 1, beginning at 10 a.m. There will be four speakers—Carl Black of the Rescue Mission at Hagerstown, Md., Pastor Ed Hawkins of Bible Baptist Church, Culpeper, Pastor Nelson Petit of New Market and Pastor John Burke of Gid Brown.

The speaker will be Bill Hickman, assistant coach for the Washington Redskins. A Baccalaureate service will be held Sunday evening, June 1 at 8 p.m., also at the school, at which time an address will be made by Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson, who represents the Seventh Congressional District. □ PANTHER TALES * Cindy Cumins These last couple of weeks before the end of school have been busy ones, to say the least! The year’s almost over...three more days to go! Our Seniors are busy preparing for baccalaureate and graduation. They will be having two special speakers, Bill Hickman, special assistant to George Allen of the Redskins, and Congressman Robinson. The Seniors seemed to have a great time on their trip last Friday and Saturday in Pennsylvania where they had an opportunity to learn a little bit about Amish living along the way. One of the highlights of this week was a special assembly for the purpose of inducting new National Honor Society members along with a special presentation to the teachers for Teachers’ Appreciation Day. The teachers were given carnations, speeches of appreciation by Faye Dunn and Ed Foster, plus a special humorous song of appreciation by a group of S.C.A. members. Some students did a really nice clean-up job on the teachers’ lounge and classrooms as an extra treat which was appreciated, apparently, by all teachers. The assembly was the first period and was a special way to start the day for everyone. Cheerleading tryouts were held last week and the following were chosen for next year: VarsityPatsy Vest, Donna Cannon, Marie Fletcher, Sheri Settle, Connie DelGrosso, Mary Hudson, Beverly Brown and Mae Dunn. Junior Varsity: Penny Chadwell, Lisa Raiford, Dee Welch, Karen Welch, Tammy Settle, Laura Pendleton, Shelia Bailey and Natalie Swindler. A lot of the names may be new to many but I think we’ve got some super squads coming up next year. We can look forward to that!! Our annual awards assembly will be held Friday to recognize students with outstanding achievements in the areas of sports and academics. The sports award banquet was held Tuesday night, with many standing ovations. A more detailed report will be found elsewhere in this issue.□

Corps of Engineers proposal discussed PLANNING Commission chairman Herbert Barksdale told his fellow commissioners at the meeting last Wednesday night. May 21, that he’d just received a letter that was “pretty scary.” Barksdale said he wasn’t sure who the letter wais from. “But they’re talking about giving control of all inland waterways to the Army Corps of Engineers,” Barksdale said. He was worried that this would mean a farmer would have to get a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers before he could clean out his pond. “There are just too many people fighting the farmer,” Barksdale said. The Planning Commissioners looked toward District Nine physical planner Jim White to find out who controls inland waterways now. “A multiplicity of agencies,” White answered. “There does need to be more co-ordination,” he said, then added he’d hate to see that authority over to the Army Corps of Engineers, “considering their track record.” “Well, the Engineers saved New Orleans, I know that,” Colonel Pete Luke said, referring to flood control plans the Army Corps of Engineers had designed for New Orleans, years ago. “BUT they tried to flood a lot of the Planning District,” White said, referring to the Engineers Salem Church Dam proposal for the Rappahannock River. “Jim, you don’t know half of it,” Fanning Baumgardner, a former member of the Army Corps oLEngineers, said to White. “Yeah, Jim, you don’t know where it’s at,” Luke said with a grin. No further discussion followed in the letter Barksdale had received.□ Preston Douglas, baseball coach at Rappahannock County High School, left, and John Toth, the school’s track coach, each were named Coachof-the-Year in Skyline District and received engraved plaques from RCHS Athletic Director, George Patterson. They were pleased and surprised for they were not aware of the honor until the presentations were made.
