pivotal force behind successful or-

only way afy group, small or large,
can become aligned behind the

not make leaders, but persistence
and determination are omnipo-

I. The ability to accept people
as they are, not as. you would lke
them to be.

2. The capacity to approach
relationships and btblenis in
terms of the present rather than
the past, though we-can leam from

3. The ability to treat people
who are close to you with the same
courteous attention T that you ex-

granted those to whom we are clos-

Bullock, a

and one of the original members of
the Platters who now resides in
Tarboro it became a lifetime event.

Bullock recently became an hon-

Eagleson Tuskegee Airmen Chapter
of Goldsboro and was the featured
celebrity guest performer for the oc-
casion along with famed millionaire
attorney Willie Gary, who was the
featured keynote speaker.

With some 88 surviving
Tuskegee Airmen of the original leg-
endary 992 attending, this years T
grouping was ein of pilots, op-
eration officers, intelligence officers,
meteorologists, étiginicerinig OPicers,
flight surgeons, aircraft and engine

trol tower operators, and administra-
tors and others that formed support
services for the air force squadron.
That night, these African American
WWII heroes would get their trea-
