Address to In-Service Training Committee Workshop

Lumberton, September 13, 1972

Abstract

I want to tell you that I am very pleased to be asked to talk to such a wonderful group as this, but to warn you that my approach to speech making is very much like a story they tell in my native Granville County about the man who was traveling down a country road.
He noticed on every barn door and fence post a target, and in the center of that target was a bullet hole. Presently he came upon a
a man with a rifle over his shoulder, and he stopped and asked the man if he had been doing all that shooting around there. The man said he had so the traveller said, "You must be about the best shot in the entire world. How do you get a bull's-eye every time?" And the sharpshooter said, "Oh, that's easy, I shoot first and then draw the target."
