My father, Doug Matthews formerly of Wilson, recently passed and I was going through some NC State photos. Phil Deans identified the gentleman on the left as Ray Ballenger from Wilson. I don't know the story behind that teddy bear yet it appears in a few photos. Knowing my dad, there definitely was some kind of story or shenanigans going on. Sorry, I do not know the year. Enjoy!

I just learned of Mr. Ballenger's passing today. My mother, Sarah, received a call from Mrs. Ballenger. We, myself (Tammy) along with my sisters and mother, met this wonderful family when I was in middle school, 37 years ago! The Ballenger's sponsored my family one Christmas and although we have all moved on w/ our lives, you all have always held a special place in our hearts. There has not been a Christmas in all these years that my mother, Sarah, has not communicated w/ Mr. and Mrs. Ballenger. I am heartbroken to hear of Mr. Ballenger's passing. I pray that the memories will carry you each day w/ a smile in your heart! Thank you for the impact that you made in our lives! It has never gone without a sincere, "THANK YOU!" On behalf of my family, we will always cherish you all and hold you close in your hearts and prayers!
Sarah Rivers (Cunningham), Tammy, Kimberly, Larria Cunningham
