Nancy has been teaching third grade in Whit- ney Point since 1973. Nancy goes beyond the call of duty and gives an enormous part of her- self to each and every student.

Dedication We, the yearbook staff, proudly dedicate the Eagle '85 to Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Gregg. The theme this year is Community Service and Marv and Alice Gregg have been a very big part of the Whitney Point Community since moving here to open Gregg's Big M twenty-one years ago. Mr. Gregg started in the grocery business when he was 15 years old as a stock clerk for Floyd Paggett, a grocerer, in Oakdale where Mr. Gregg grew up. When the Greggs opened the Big M in Whitney Point, they built their home on Keibel Road, where they still reside. The Gregg's have three children. Sherry, Holly, and Lance. Mr. and Mrs. Gregg have opened two oth- er grocery stores, one in Marathon, and one in Maine as well as the Whitney Point Variety Store. The Gregg's have shown their community spirit in many ways. They have been very gener- ous to the many school teams and organizations. They have employed many of our students, both male and female, in their store and have been very cooperative in working their schedules around the students school activities. Mr. and Mrs. Gregg have also been very generous to many families and community members in their time of need, this support is done quietly and is not often known by anyone other than the peo- ple involved. A community that works is one filled with people willing to pull together for the common good. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Gregg have shown that they care about the Whitney Point Community. The Eagle '85 salutes them for their years of Community Service.

In Memory Of . . . Dr. Glenn W. Tymeson Sr., an outstanding practi- tioner and professor of family medicine and a sensi- tive, selfless and dedicated public servant, died May 5, 1984 while fishing with friends in Oswego. He is survived by his wife June, and six children. Dr. Tyme- son was a graduate of Jefferson Medical College. He was United Health Services Associate Director of the Family Practice Residency, a member of the Medical Staff at United Health Service, Clinical Assistant Pro- fessor of family Medicine at Upstate Medical Center, Broome County Coroner for 35 years, a practicing family Physician, and a 1984 candidate for Family Physician of the year (an award he already received in 1958). He also received the Family Practice Fellow- ship award in 1972, the Community Physician Recog- nition day award in 1975, the Family Practice Resi- dents' Recognition Award for Physician Teacher in 1975 and 1982. Dr. Tymeson held all these positions, and won these awards, but, if you asked the local people what they remember about Dr. Tymeson, most would say his warmth, his wit, his gentleness, his willingness to always be there when he was needed. Whether he was assuring a young mother that all was going well in the delivery room, treating a sick child in his office, or consoling a family that had lost a loved one. Dr. T. always gave more than a medical opinion, he gave a part of himself. He served our area since 1948 as Doctor and community friend. A famil- iar sight on a Saturday afternoon would be Dr. Tyme- son strolling up and down the sidelines, enjoying the game, ready to serve both teams if needed. On Sat. September 27, 1984 the community dedicated the Whitney Point Athletic Fields in his memory, and named them The Glenn W. Tymeson Fields, Dr. Glenn W. Tymeson Sr., a loving husband and father, a dedi- cated doctor and teacher, a loyal friend to all he touched ... a truly Great Man. l-lull v . i uau. j. cvutlujl-: Juy : i v i ;y. .j.i' v i.m.it i ■ 11 ■: y t.iv ij .n.v uv.
