In October, 1988, the literacy volunteers began offering a weekly class for residents interested in getting assistance in preparing for their GED exams. Each Monday evening the group meets from 7-9 p.m. at the county library', giving both individual and group instruction to anyone who comes.
This past month marked the first anniversary of the weekly gatherings, and saw an enthusiastic group of 10 GED candidates and their volunteer tutors at the Rappahannock Library. The meetings include study sessions on fractions, decimals, writing skills and other subjects necessary to pass the tests for a highschool equivalency certificate.
The students come from across Rappahannock County: Rosie Crazier, Mary Groves and Barbara Payne from Washington; Betty Thomas and Calvin Atkins from Sperryville; Pave Compton, Joyce Settle and Frances Fincham from Castleton; Giovinia Compton from Flint Hill and Ruby Pullen of Woodville.
