It seems faintly unchivalrous to mention a lady's age, so by way of amends I hasten to add that Enez today looks younger, and more radiant than ever. Verily, the camera does not he; compare the photograph opposite with the portrait which appeared in the 1979 Chro111cle. Enez was born and brought up in Kilmarnock and although she and her husband Robert moved to Kilmaurs four years ago she remains true to auld Kil lie. She was educated at Kilmarnock Academy and currently worh in Paisley where she is the Sales Credit Controller m the accounts department of a large company. The Logans have two daughters - Helen (22) lives and worh in London, while Nancy (19) 1s a hairdres5er. Twenty years ago Enez and her mother paid a visit to the Tam o' Shanter Inn Museum at Ayr and then went on to the Cottage and Birthplace Museum at Alloway. This rekindled an interest in Burns which had been dormant ~mce schooldays. Soon afterwards she was taken along by her father and mother-in-law to the Kilmarnock Howff Burns Club to one of their special guest nights when ladies were admitted. The Howff was then a bastion of male chauvinism which, however, had the grace and good sense to move with the times. In 1971 ladies were admitted to full membership and Enez was the first of her sex to take the opportunity. One of her earliest memories of a club meeting was a talk given by the late Alex MacMillan in which he urged members to encourage young people to take up an interest in the Burns movement. This made such a lasting impression that Enez agreed when she was approached about taking on the job of Club Secretary. As a Club official, she was appointed a delegate to the Ayrshire Association of Burns Clubs, where her outstanding qualities were quickly recognised. In 1974 she became Vice-President of the Association, and three years later became President - the youngest in the Association's history. She has also served as President of the Howff Club and performed yeoman service as Secretary of the Ayrshire Association. She has taken a leading role in Burns actIVlties throughout Ayrshire in the past twenty years and was recently elected Vice-President of Kilmarnock Burns Club. For many years now she has adjudicated in the verse-speaking competitions for schoolchildren held in Kilmarnock and Loudoun Distnct. She has been closely involved in countless events organised by the Ayrshire Association over the past fifteen years. Keenly interested in all aspects of local history, she regards her greate5t achievement so far the location of the graves of the Tannock Brothers, now marked by a plaque erected by the Howff Burns Club. Enez organised the very successful Bicentenary Celebration in Kilmarnock, honouring the printing of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, held at the grave of John Wilson in July 1986. Enez has attended every Burns Conference since 1972 and joined the Federation Executive in 1979. She was involved in the planning committees for the Conferences at Irvine (1981) and Kilmarnock (1986). She wa5 elected Junior Vice-President of the Federation at London in 1985, and progressed to President in September 1987. A more than usually crowded presidential year culminated in the highly successful Conference in Hamilton, Ontario. Enez is particularly busy in January and February and reckons to take part m fourteen or fifteen Burns Suppers each year. Obviously Robert Burns plays a large part in her life, but she still finds time to keep up her interests in local history. Over a period of two years she wrote a history of the Old High Kirk in Kilmarnock, published in serial form in the Church magazine, and she has also contributed a number of articles to the Chronicle on aspects of Kilmarnock pertaining to the Bard. She is currently writing a book entitled Kilmarnock, a Modern Treatise. 5 From The Editor In March 1988 I had the good fortune to Green, the Pa its of Clannochdyke, the visit Amtralia in connection with the Telfers of Nether Affleck and Grey­ Bicentennial Numismatic Convention in sauchs, the Weir; of Waterside, the Sydney, New South Wales where I gave Browns of Auchlochan and the Steel\ of one of the papers.

  • Paul's Letters Script
    Paul’s Letters Episode 05 Second Thessalonians Script There I was sitting in my frigid house with a bit of a hangover, wrapped in a blanket. It was January, I’d been out all night. I was musing about the month being named after Janus, the two- faced Roman god. It was said that Janus could see the past and the future at the same time. That’d be awesome, because if I could see the future, I would soon be rich enough to buy all the liquor and women I could want! The Apostle Paul had been staying at my house, I wasn’t the best host, being out all night. He had almost convinced me that my Roman gods were not real. I was on the verge of becoming a Christian, but let’s just say I wasn’t quite ready to give up my wild lifestyle. All of a sudden, reverie interrupted. A group of totally out of control dudes burst through my door. Rough dudes. Rougher than me. What could I do but sit there quietly as they ransacked my house looking for Paul and Silas. Finally, I got their attention. “Paul and Silas aren't here,” I shouted. They were out, somewhere. So, they grabbed me instead. They dragged me toward the city officials. And I wasn’t the only one either, they were also dragging a few people I recognized who had become believers in Jesus. At the town center, the officials were in a turmoil. A few Jews and the rough dudes - accused me of hosting someone who opposed the Roman government, someone who followed a king other than Caesar.

  • Spoon River Anthology (Abridged by Bill Fellner)
    Spoon River Anthology (abridged by Bill Fellner) [The Hill] 4 Where are Elmer, Herman, Bert, Tom and Charley, The weak of will, the strong of arm, the clown, the boozer, the fighter? All, all are sleeping on the hill. One passed in a fever, One was burned in a mine, One was killed in a brawl, One died in a jail, One fell from a bridge toiling for children and wife-- All, all are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on the hill. Where are Ella, Kate, Mag, Lizzie and Edith, The tender heart, the simple soul, the loud, the proud, the happy one?-- All, all are sleeping on the hill. One died in shameful child-birth, One of a thwarted love, One at the hands of a brute in a brothel, One of a broken pride, in the search for heart's desire; One after life in far-away London and Paris Was brought to her little space by Ella and Kate and Mag-- All, all are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on the hill. Where are Uncle Isaac and Aunt Emily, And old Towny Kincaid and Sevigne Houghton, And Major Walker who had talked With venerable men of the revolution?-- All, all are sleeping on the hill. They brought them dead sons from the war, And daughters whom life had crushed, And their children fatherless, crying-- All, all are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on the hill. Where is Old Fiddler Jones Who played with life all his ninety years, Braving the sleet with bared breast, Drinking, rioting, thinking neither of wife nor kin, Nor gold, nor love, nor heaven? Lo! he babbles of the fish-frys of long ago, Of the horse-races of long ago at Clary's Grove, Of what Abe Lincoln said One time at Springfield.

A poem is a device designed to create a mood in the reader that is similar to the mood its author was in while composing it. Right- Poem: "Early Spring". Morning temperature on the Hochschneeberg: 34oF. Snow falling, in the form of rain. Damply shimmering whitish gray snowfields. Water level rising steadily in the rivers. Mild, stormy weather. Generally overcast. Continued, tremendous snowfall in the Northern Alpine region. Avalanches have blocked Tunnel No.ll of the mountain railroad. The hotels at Semmering are overflowing with gentry and wealthy bourgeoisie attempting to squeeze in a few more days of toboganning and such. But the Sun is gobbling up the snow. The Earth is saturated, not to say soggy, and that is why the surplus water is rushing into the rivers. The farmer is optimistic. Young Helga, weeping, is scouring the terrain for primroses.
