That is when the club spends 24 hours (2 p.m. to 2 p.m.) practicing their skills and powering their equipment on emergency generators. During the 24 hour period they try to contact and log as many other clubs in the United States and Canada as possible. The exercise is to help communication coordination. Recent national events have displayed the importance of these clubs and how valuable their purpose is to our communities. This year, the Shelby Club was invited to conduct the fi eld day at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. The Shelby Amateur Radio Club was founded in 1957. –M. A. Andrews June 24, 1908 & 102 Years Later ...An Awesome Lady Celebrates! –M. A. Andrews Her name is Myrtle Harrill Ledbetter and she was born on June 24, 1908. The church she joined when she was 14 years old, Flint Hill Baptist in Boil- ing Springs, celebrated her 102 birthday this past Sunday after services. This is the church where she married Joe Rex Ledbetter, a farmer, on Janu- ary 13,1933. Her favorite foods now are cantaloupe, watermelon, and ice cream. Her 102 years of life is a refl ection of a committed wife, mother and a very high achiever. She had fi ve children, three girls and a set of twin boys. When the doctor was delivering her boys, Myrtle was unaware she was having twins. After the birth of the fi rst boy, the doctor said “hold on Myrtle, I believe you’ve got another one in there.” All the children were with her at the birth- day celebration except Elizabeth, who passed away from breast cancer in 1990. Her four surviving children display a deep admiration for the lady who gathered them together one evening and told them to “look up at the moon.” They were just kids when their mother said, “Perhaps not in my lifetime, but some day people will walk on the moon!” She lived to see it and her predic- tion came true. To teach her children how strong ants were, they would take a break when picking cotton in the fi elds and feed plums and bread to an ant hill. Then Myrtle would explain to them how strong the ants were and to observe how they could carry the bread and plums off. Myrtle is also a graduate of the two year Boiling Springs Junior College, An amazing and talented mother, Myrtle Ledbetter with her children (l to r) Jo, Leon, Peggy and Lemuel. now Gardner-Webb University. As we sat around at her table this past Sun- day, the children, Jo Anne, twins Leon and Lemuel and Peggy shared fond memories and amazing stories of this beloved mother.
