Abstract:
The possible dream, as noted by Dr. Moore and supported by ECU’s President Jenkins, was the creation of a medical school at East Carolina University.

Abstract:
Wooles’ companion piece to “The Possible Dream” echoed many of the same assertions contained in Moore’s article. However, there were two distinctive features in Wooles’ article.

Abstract:
Grifton’s population grew four fold from 1950-1960, with Kinston’s DuPont plant as the recognized factor. In the shadow of an industrial giant, a family owned business can be easily invisible.

Abstract:
Columbus County’s Hotline employees listened to and offered solutions for a myriad of issues, from crisis level to everyday. The director, labeling the service as “reflective listening,” revealed the qualification process involved 30 plus hours of community college training courses. From their service’s quality, can be inferred the employees, mostly volunteer, live up to this statement by Carl Rogers: “Listening, rightly done, is the most important thing you can do for a person.”
