This group meets every
first Wednesday at 9 a.m.-
11:30 a.m. at the First Bap
tist Church to cut, pin and
baste and all are welcome.
A few more than 10
dozen of the pads were
made in the 2'k hours of fel
lowship.
This led all those con
cerned to assume that Hos
pice Volunteer Coordinator
Virginia Vettel’s estimate of
31 dozen so far this year
may be a bit under-esti
mated and should be lots
more than that by end of
this half year.
The group is excited to
make as many of the pads
as possible. Indeed they
were spurred on by the
delicious Blueberry Pound
cake made by Rachel
Wooden from Southern
Heritage Cakes Cookbook
of Southern Living maga
zine.

There's a young man in
Fort Valley who’s getting a
reputation for being some
body to beat in track and
field and he has proud rel
atives here in Perry. Buddy
Clark, son of Charlie and
Lane Whipple Clark and
sister of Jenni Leigh, is the
grandson of Eleanor Whip
ple. now a resident at the
Church Home, and the
» r n i it
lit jmevv t#i cimi ocuic
Whipple.
Buddy actually became
interested in running as a
child on dirt roads in front
of his dad’s jeep. In Fort Val
ley he tried out for track at
age 13 and did well. But as
a 14-year-old freshman at
Central Fellowship Christ
ian Academy he and four of
the better runners who had
never even had cross coun
try training won state in
cross country racing.
Buddy also did well in
track and field. The next
year with Buddy as captain
the same guys won state
cross country again. And
Buddy won state in mile
with 4 minutes 38 seconds.
He recently won the Jim
Herring 5K race at Galleria
Mall in Centerville.
His proud dad says he is
a very gifted runner and
still young and is a good
kid.
He has the aim to break
the 4 minute mile in high
school by the time he is a
senior. That’s only been

by four greats so it’s a big
aim to have.
The new track season is
just getting started and his
trusty cross country team
has already won convinc
ingly at both Athens and
Macon.
Charlie says track and
field can go unrecognized
compared to the popularity
of football and basketball.
“Anybody can run a cou
ple of miles but not just
anybody can run fast."
Buddy spends summer
camp at North Carolina
State to hasten his stride.
It’ll be interesting to watch
his progress.
