"I've had to work hard to send them - often times running two or more jobs," remarked Lumas, "but I've been determined to educate all of them as well as I can." "Our oldest son, Lumas, Jr., graduated from S.C. State and is employed with Greyhound in California, a daughter, Joyce, also a State graduate, is a Home Demonstration Agent for Clemson University Extension; Dianne, a graduate of Presbyterian College is employed at Whitten Village," continued Byrd. "I have another daughter, Kathy, who is a senior at Clinton High School. She was named their '76 homecoming queen." Other Byrd children include George, a sophomore at State; Robert, who has completed two years at State and is a Lydia Loom Technician; Christine, who graduated from a clorida business college and now is employed with Laurens Glass, and Cheretha, a Voorhees graduate, is now employed by Whitten Village. "Sending all of these to college hasn't been easv." said Byrd, "but I've had help from my wife, who has always worked, as well as other family members and friends." Now that the Byrd children are either in school or away working, Lumas finds it difficult for all of them to get together, as they once did. h) wk nprr / CHARTER - Clintex Junior Ac iton Mills, received its corpora recent JA meeting held at the Ba ly accepted the document on be rraining le Byrds mtSSm LUMAS BYRD "All of them seem to be busy with their own activities," he added.
