COMMUNITY NEWS
Senior Spotlight...Getting to Know
our Members!
Mr. Lindsay Lee
Mr. Lindsay Lee was born and raised right here in Eliz-
abeth City. As a matter of fact, he was born in Albemarle
Hospital when it was on Riverside. That hospital later be-
came the first college that he attended, COA. After a few
years living away in Maryland to work in a church and then
Norfolk working at the shipyard, Mr. Lee returned to his
home town. He inherited his uncle’s house and began a
career as a civil servant in the Aircraft Repair and Supply
Center at the US Coast Guard base.
Mr. Lee has always been active in the community.
He has played, coached and officiated various sports. He
has three sons that all live in this area as well. When he is
not busy taking care of his grandson, he likes to spend time
in the Senior Center’s billiards room. He enjoys the fellow-
ship. He encourages fellow seniors to, “Get out and enjoy
your senior center. There are a lot of people there to asso-
ciate with.”
Mr. Lee has survived three heart attacks, five bypass
surgeries and a bout with Hodgkin’s-related lymphoma. He
says that, “The Lord has something for me to do that I have-
n’t completed yet.” He encourages young people to “Find
something you like to do and do it. Don’t go into a job be-
cause you feel compelled just to pay the bills.”
Members are chosen by the staff at random for the Senior Spotlight! Be ready...YOU may be next!

EXTRA INFO
MARCH fun Facts
Welcome to the third month of the
year—or, if you were born before 150 B.C., the first! According to the
oldest Roman cal-endars, one year was ten months
long, beginning in March and ending
in December.
The word March comes from the Ro-man Martius. This month was named after Mars, the god
of war.
In the 7th Century, St. Patrick’s Day
was a religious hol-iday celebrated on-
ly in Ireland, and green wasn’t even part of the equa-tion! The original color associated with St. Patricks’ Day was actually
blue.

"Each leaf,
each blade of grass
vies for attention.
Even weeds
carry tiny blossoms
to astonish us."
- Marianne Poloskey,
Sunday in Spring
