Arnold James Hyde (1914-2010) handwrites two brief essays, “A Last Look” and “Judge Sam Cathey.” “A Last Look” commends Graham County for recognizing the importance of history and preserving the Old Rock School Building. He shares a couple of stories from his time teaching at Old Rock School including coaching the girls’ basketball team to a conference win. “Judge Sam Cathey” is about Judge Sam W. Cathey of Asheville who was the first blind man to receive a law degree in North Carolina. Cathey sought the help of Representative James Penland who successfully received funding to start what became the first Rehabilitation Program for the Blind in North Carolina. Judge Cathey additionally participated in the organization of the N.C. Lions Association for the Blind and became the first chairman of the N.C. Commission for the Blind.
