BEAUFORT COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE | CONTRIBUTED
A MEMORIAL: Woodmen of the World Lodge 623 recently contributed to Beaufort County Community College’s digital sign campaign in memory of former lodge member, Jack Clayton. A native of Hyde County, Clayton served in the U.S. Army, Air Force and National Guard and worked as a journeyman meat cutter for several area grocery stores. Clayton served as President of the Woodman of the World Lodge 623 and was active in the organization’s activities before his death earlier this year. He was also active in other community organizations including the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Bunyan Ruritan Club and was a scout master. Pictured, second from left, Garland Woolard, secretary of the lodge, presents a check to BCCC President Barbara Tansey while Audrey Woolard, at left, displays a photo of Clayton. BCCC Foundation Director Judy Jennette holds an architectural rendering of the sign by John Farcas. When built, the sign will be located at the front of the campus along U.S. Highway 264.
