Literary Quiz
My sister, Kristina Simms,
suggested this one. Thomas
Malory wrote of King Arthur
that “Many men say there is
written upon his tomb this
verse: Hie jacet Arthuris,
Rex quondam, Rex futurus.
Much later another author
used an English translation
of that epitaph for the title
of his book. Name the book
and the author.

HELP from her friends from Page iC
Life’s easier now, though,
thanks to a little help from
some friends.
Well, really, it was a whole
LOT of help, but the team
that came to her home from
“Rebuilding Together”
seems to have had a great
time together, and last
Sunday they celebrated with
a Christmas party at the
Scott home, while joking and
laughing about the shared
experience.
The volunteer team built
a 10x15’ extension onto
Bessie Scott’s home so that
she has a larger bedroom
and a bathroom that’s twice
the size of the one she had
before and offers every pos
sible advantage for someone
who uses both a walker and a
wheelchair. The doorway to
the bathroom is extra-wide,
and has a “pocket door” that
slides in and out. The lava
tory has “leg room” below
so that it can be used while
sitting in a wheelchair.

Mike O’Brien, with strong
backing from his wife Jackie,
headed the volunteer team,
men and women who’ve
earned the nickname “week
end warriors” over the last
six months, as they’ve done
their planning, building,
plumbing, wiring, painting
and more.
Most of the workers on the
project for Bessie Scott are
members of Our Lady of the
Skies Chapel at Robins Air
Force Base, and as O’Brian
puts it, once they got start
ed, the work took the better
part of every weekend until
it was done.
“The spouses deserve spe
cial thanks,” O’Brian says.
He also noted that many
local businesses either
donated supplies or pro
vided equipment at reduced
prices.
