THE 1984 EAGLE YEARBOOK IS DEDICATED TO MR. LINDSEY MERRITT Voice of the Eagles To the regret of the university, the Durham community, and everyone that the Voice of the Ea- gles came in contact with, our friend and fellow Eagle, Lindsey Merritt ascended to the heavens to sing with the angels. Lindsey Merritt was a member of the NCCU family that cared about the students. He gave so much that we, the younger generation might prosper. It will be hard for many of us to accept his absence. He was such a positive influence in lives of so many Eagles, our only comfort is that we know he is at peace. The slenderly-built, 5 ' 9 , carmel-colored man, who held the position of director of student place- ment, was stricken by a stroke while in Dallas, Texas representing the university at the conven- tion of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He died Sunday, January 29. Merritt, probably better known as the that raspy voice that gave the weekend play-by-play coverage at NCCU football games. He also served as chairman of the faculty athletic committee and was a friend and inspiration to every student and athlete he came in contact with. Although the lines of age were evident on his face, he was as energetic as any teenager. Often he would leave his home early in the morning and not return until late night, all in service to NCCU. Merritt served on numerous boards and committees at the university and would always put in those extra hours at no expense to the school that he worked at and years ago graduated from. Merritt could best be described as a family man, both home and at work. He excluded no one from his ever expanding family and rarely, if ever, did someone leave his presence without feeling the warmth that he emitted. He had a fatherly affection for the students and he always stressed dedication and hard work, whether it be on or off the job. It ' s not how much you get paid for a job, it ' s how well you did the job that ' s the real reward, he was often heard saying to students, friends, and family. Lindsey Merritt was dedication, pride, determination and concern all poured into a human being. On behalf of the entire student body, I would like to say Lindsey Merritt: WE LOVE YOU— MAY PEACE AND HAPPINESS BE EVER YOURS.
