Miracle

  Now this has to be God working! In 1998 when my step dad Olen and Mom came to visit me they stayed in a motel where his camcorder had gotten stolen after they had filmed tons of footage having traveled across several states. They were heartbroken, of course and I always felt bad about it for them. Olen loved that camcorder and really enjoyed filming pretty much everything. They submitted a police report back then and in 2021 Olen, who I've known since I was 8, passed away. I just found out from my mom that some how she got all that footage and was able to get it converted to a USB file. The only thing she can think is that the police were able to find the camcorder and get the contents to her some way. Olen's voice can be heard narrating through visits of each place they traveled. After all this time! What a miracle! My mom is so happy and I can't wait to watch it.

Press Teacher Jump Started Ambitions by Terri Rimmer - originally published under my maiden name Persico in The Camden County Tribune, 1991

Tomorrow about a hundred or so West Georgia College   alumni will honor a journalism teacher, a former school paper advisor, a   Newsweek magazine editor, and a brilliant teacher. Joe Cumming, my Mass Com­munications teacher, is retiring after years of teaching the magic of the written word to thousands of amateur college students who dreamt of that writing gig that would turn them into profession­als and cast them into the lime ­light for all the world to read. Joe is not a straight-laced man in a suit and tie, throwing large words at you and overwhelming you with Ivy League language. He has a shock of white hair, wire-rimmed glasses, robust cheeks and a clown’s hapless smile that grins at nostalgia of the days of the penny press and "Citizen   Kane." It’s hard to believe that the school will no longer have a Joe Cumming. After four years of watching him scrupulously and diligently help me capture the flavor and not only learn but grasp the idea of journalism and
