Lady of the Light, Grant Recipient, and Fred Craddock

Well, it was DuBose Lectures time. I was asked to be on the DuBose Lecture Committee and like a good Junior, I said, "Sure."
The fun began at registration, seeing familiar faces and welcoming folks back to the mountain. My rector was here and so were many friends from over the years and places!
Well as a committee member, I was given a host of tasks. The primary task during lectures was to be the "flashlight girl". My role was to help light the stairs that go up and down from the stage for the speakers as they went up and down to the stage. With great excitement I carried my flashlight to the corner and "lit" the way. Our speaker was very amused and made a comment about "giving a grant to the stairway and lighting personnel" at the begining of the second lecture. Today the joke continued and i was given an honorary degree as the "Lady of the light". Dr Fred Craddock is a kind man and it was a gift to help out with the lectures. I am sure I will never live down the jokes that will come from my classmates about flashlights and such!
Hope all is well with all of you!
