20 years ago today
From the files of The Forsyth County News 20
years ago, Thursday, Feb. 4,1965:
* * *
The Forsyth County Board of Education voted
Tuesday to lease the Chattahoochee School property
to the county commission for use as a district
courthouse. A.B. Tollison, county ordinary, went
before the board in its regular meeting to request
that the property be turned over to the county
commission. The courthouse would serve the Chat
tahoochee Militia District. Board members voted
unanimously to lease the property for 20 years. The
Chattahoochee School was destroyed by fire last
year and its 90 students are now attending Cum
ming Elementary and Upper Elementary. Accord
ing to School Superintendent Almon Hill, there are
no plans to replace the burned school.
* * *
Forsyth County would qualify for aid under a $1
billion bill approved in the U.S. Senate Monday. The
measure, which is now before the House of Rep
resentatives, would provide funds for Appalachia to
improve job opportunities and income for more
than 15 million people in the 11-state area. Included
in the bill is SB4O million for construction of a
developmental road system covering 2’350 miles.
• • *
Local officials are awaiting word from Washing
ton on matching funds for construction of a new
library here. An application for the federal grant of
about $15,000 was sent to Washington in mid-Jan
uary. If the grant is approved, a $30,000 to $35,000
library will be built between the health department
and cemetery in Cumming.

Dr. David Hleap displays one sample of his artwork in his office in Cumming
Doctor-artist realized dreams
with a move to United States
By Edna Maleson
Special to the Sunday News
Sitting in the waiting room at
Dr. David Hleap’s office in
Cumming might be more like
visiting an art gallery than a doctor’s
office.
A family practitioner on the staff of
Forsyth County Hospital, Dr. Hleap
also is an award-winning artist whose
paintings have been displayed in
galleries in New York, Atlanta and
Miami.
Several dozen of his paintings
decorate the exam rooms, waiting
rooms and hallways throughout the
office. The paintings are done in pen
and ink, oils, and acrylics and they
have evolved from an early
impressionistic style to a very
modem style today.
Dr. Hleap practices medicine eight
hours a day, a practice that is
primarily dedicated to his
subspecialty of gynecology. But his
day as an artist begins right after
that, when he returns to his Atlanta
home. That’s where he dons some old
paint-stained surgical greens and
Selleck fans receive rude shock
Fans trying to call television
star TOM SELLECK to wish
him a happy birthday
reached a Honolulu morgue
instead after a Boston radio station
announced the wrong phone number.
The snafu started when JOE
MARTELLE and ANDY MOES of
WROR-FM came up the idea of
having their listeners call Selleck in
Hawaii and congratulate him on his
40th birthday last Tuesday.
The pair called directory assistance
in Honolulu for Selleck’s home phone
number but were apparently given
the number for the Honolulu medical
examiner’s office. The number was
broadcast.
By Wednesday afternoon, the
medical examiner’s office reported
receiving more than 1,000 calls from
Selleck fans in Boston.
“The office was out of control,”
said Joyce Fujimoto, morgue
attendant. “When people found out it
was the medical examiner’s office,
they thought Tom Selleck had
expired. All these hysterical girls
kept calling.”
CHARLES JOHNSON, a producer
of Selleck’s popular CBS show
“Magnum P. 1.,” said the star wasn’t
angry about the prank, but “he feels
it’s unfortunate that it happened
because it wasn’t good for the
morgue.”
Out of ambition
Ex-Beatle GEORGE HARRISON
says he has no ambition for being a
star in fact, he’s hasn’t much
ambition at all, except perhaps for
living the life of “a normal human
being.”
“I don’t want to be a film star. I
don’t even want to be a pop star. I just
want to live in peace. But I would like
... to get more of my ideas onto film,”
he said in an interview shown Friday
by the British Broadcasting Corp.
Harrison, the 41-year-old “quiet”
Beatle who became involved in
Eastern mysticism, has rarely given
interviews since the Fab Four parted
ways in 1969.
Forsyth County News
paints for another four to eight hours
a day in his studio.
“I have been an artist since I was 7
years old,” said Dr. Hleap, 55, who
hopes to spend his retirement years
dedicated exclusively to his artwork.
Russian-born, Dr. Hleap was raised
in Colombia, South America, where
he worked his way through medical
school as a medical illustrator. In
1972, he and his family moved to the
United States and in 1975, he opened
his office in Cumming.
“I wanted to give more to my
children than is possible in South
America,” he said. “Moving here was
a lifetime dream.” Dr. Hleap said his
life in the United States has fully lived
up to his high expectations.
Dr. Hleap’s artwork is not limited to
the canvas.
“My medical charts have a lot of
drawings on them. And I can help my
patients understand medical
information by the use of drawings,”
said the former president of the
Forsyth County Hospital Medical
Staff.
The recipient of many awards for
his artwork, this fall Dr. Hleap won
four awards from the American
i mßgEfm t ■ '$ I
Tom Selleck
He is now co-owner and an
executive producer of a small,
independent British film company,
Handmade Films, and provided
financial backing for its 1978 box
office hit “Life of Brian.”
Asked about his ambition for
Handmade, he said: “I don’t have
many ambitions at all, not for
Handmade, not for anything really. I
think ambition is something you have
to try and get rid of.”
Asked about his reputation as a
recluse, he said: “It’s silly. ... I just
don’t go to those discos and things like
that.... I just try and live a life of a
normal human being.”
A multimillionaire, Harrison lives
with his wife, OLIVIA, in a Victorian
mansion in Oxfordshire, west of
London.
‘Three’s Company
The wife of JOHN RITTER, star of
the ABC-TV series “Three’s
Company” and its spin-off, “Three’s
a Crowd,” has given birth to the
couple’s third child.
Actress NANCY MORGAN
delivered the 8-pound boy Thursday
at St. John’s Hospital in Santa
Monica, Calif., spokesman LARRY
FRANK said Friday.
“Nancy and John are both very

awards, which exemplify the range of
his talent, were of four different
mediums acrylics, sculpture, color
photography and pen and ink. His
daughter, Serita, a medical
illustrator, also won an award for a
watercolor.
Another of Dr. Hleap’s four
children, Carlos, has also chosen a
medical career. He is a medical
student in Chicago. His daughter,
Marsha, is a student at Emory
University and his son, Ricky, is a
high school student.
A highlight of Dr. Hleap’s artistic
career helps to illustrate why the
United States was the “land of
Opportunity” that he so often
dreamed about. In 1983, because of his
artistic accomplishments, Dr. Hleap
was invited to visit President Jimmy
Carter. When meeting President
Carter, Dr. Hleap said, “Mr.
President, I cannot believe I’m here.
Can I pinch you?”
A jovial, but dedicated physicial,
Dr. Hleap is active in the Rotary Club
of Forsyth County, where he currently
is chairman of the scrapbook
committee.
happy that he is here and healthy,”
Frank said of the newborn, who had
yet to be named. “I spoke with Nancy
today and she said that everything is
fine.”
Ritter, 36, and his wife have two
other children, 4-year-old JASON and
2-year-old CARLY.
Wonderful thing
Working with director FRANK
CAPRA was “one of the most
wonderful things that ever happened
to me in my life,” JIMMY STEWART
told an audience of admirers before a
screening in Provo, Utah, of the 1946
masterpiece “It’s A Wonderful Life.”
The 76-year-old actor delighted a
crowd of 1,600 people Friday night as
Brigham Young University wrapped
up a weeklong tribute to him after he
donated much of his personal movie
memorabilia to the school.
Capra, 87, has “stood by standards,
very wonderful basic standards
family, community, country and
belief in God,” Stewart said. “It
comes to sort of a peak” in the Capra
directed film “It’s a Wonderful Life,”
in which Stewart’s suicidal character
is visited by an angel who shows him
how much poorer other people’s lives
would have been without him.
“It is my favorite picture and
Frank Capra’s,” he said.
Osmond addition
Entertainer DONNY OSMOND’S
wife, DEBBIE, has given birth to the
couple’s third child, a son, a
spokeswoman says.
BRANDON MICHAEL OSMOND
weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce when he
was bom at 10:17 p.m. Tuesday, said
spokeswoman JENNIFER VAN
RYN. Mrs. Osmond, 25, returned to
the Osmonds’ Provo home with the
new arrival Thursday.
The Osmonds have two other boys,
DONALD, 5, and JEREMY, 3.
Osmond, 27, is a singer, composer
and president of Nightstar
Productions of Provo. He also is
chairman of the board of Donny
Osmond Entertainment Corp.
