I gave a ride to long-time family friend Gloria Glover and her grandson Christopher, who affectionately calls his grandmother Nana. Christopher attends Stone Park After School Gang.

Jim and I couldn't believe such winter weather in southern Rocky Mount!     PAIGE'S NOTES   2 January 2002 - After three years on the road, I know first-hand that travel takes away prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, as Mark Twain suggested. Spending several days over the holidays in Rocky Mount, where I grew up and home to about 50,000 people, I remember how easy it was, once, to believe that what I thought was truth was true. Yet, now, I know much of my truth was filled with misconceptions and ignorance. Travel has been the best educator I have ever known.
