WORLD WIDE P
Finster's work is seen
worldwide. The Smithsonian |
Institution in Washington.‘
D.C., has a number of his
works,
The First National Bank of
Summerville has been showing
Finster's work during |
“Howard Finster Week” for
four years. Sue Hurley, presi
dent of the bank said she feels
the exhibit is important
because ‘‘Howard is one of us,
he is from our county.”
The 'l‘ravel.i.nf Show exhibit
is now privately owned and
may not be presented next
year. The Rev. Finster sug-
Eested that next year, people of
hattooia County who own his
work should exhibit their
pieces. That would make it
“even more of a community
event,” he said.
‘lt is a great honor for me
to have an art show in my
home town, it’'s one of the
greatest honors I've had,”
inster said.

(ADRDA). Robinson under
took the ride as a tribute to his
mother who died of AD last
November.
PLEDGES
Before leaving Columbus in
April, Robinson and the local
ADRDA ch?ter raised
$45,000 in pledges and con
tributions. Bne third of the
monies will support research of
the disease, which currently
has no known cause or cure.
The remaining funds will be us
ed by the local ADRDA
chapter to provide services and
information to the community.
An estimated additional
SIO,OOO was raised by various
ADRDA chapters along the
route. Each chapter will geter
mine the best use of funds they
raised.
*‘l feel the Ride for Reason
was extremely successful in
many ways,”’ said Robinson.
“We raised a substantial
amount of money for ADRDA
chafi)ters across the country, as
well as communicated with
many members of the media
about the disease. I believe the
Ride helped many people
across this country understand
the magnitude and devastation
of AD and, significantly, where
they can get help if needed.
“REWARDING””
“We also experienced one
on-one encounters that were
very rewarding. Just knowing
we helped those few people
makes the trip worthwhile,”
said Robinson.
Both Robinson and Ms.
Ploeger were pleasantly sur
fin'sed by all the generosity and
indness they experienced
along the route.
“Without fail, we met in
teresting and varied people
every day, and all were very
helpful and generous. It has
strengthened my faith in fio
gle of this country,” said Ms.
loeger.
Robinson cycled an average
of 50 to 60 miles a day. The
distance he was able to cover
each day depended on the
weather, terrain and wind.
HEAT
According to Robinson,
“The drought didn't affect me
nearly as bad as all the
farmers, but the 108 degree
heat through Kansas reminded
me of a large oven.’"”
The wind, however, was
Robinson’s biggest enemy, but
he knew that was going to be
the case before he le%t. He
decided he would cycle east to
west, against the prevailing
westerly winds, to symbolize
the everyday struggle of
Alzheimer victims and
careqivers,
“I'm just fortunate my
struigle ended after five
months, unlike AD patients
whose struggle can last more
than a fi%cade." added
Robinson.
Publisher Has County History
“Chattooga . . . The Story of a County and Its People,”
the authoritative history of Chattooga County, is now in
the hands of the publisKer.
Robert S. Baker, author of the 1,200-page tome, said
Monday that he had completed the book and the publisher
is now working to prepare it for rublication. The time for
?üblishing the boo?( was origina ly estimated at between
our and six weeks, Baker said, but since the book turned
out to be so long, additional time will be required.
More reinforcing material will be necessary to ‘get it
between two covers,” Baker said.
