Gower, by presenting the Young Americans in concert at Irem Temple Auditorium in Wilkes- Barre. The group of 37 young men In an era when it is often fashionable to forget about our forebears, Judith Simms Dawe is a happy exception. An out- going person with a great deal of natural exuberance, she is extremely proud of her heritage as a member of one of Lehman Township’s founding families. Judy, who lives with husband Gordon and sons Bill and Chris in the family homestead on Meeker Road, has preserved much of the family’s personal history through careful cata- loguing of old pictures and anecdotes. The daughter of Ruth Major Simms and the late Alfred Simms, Judy was born in the house nexf®loor to her present home. Now occupied by her mother, her birthplace was built ‘in 1859 by Champion The Dawe’s present Home—a comfort:Mie, sprawling place— was built’in 1934 on the founda- tion of a home built by her grandfather, William Major, in 1902. “A fire completely razed the first house in 1932,” Judith recalls, ‘and I can still remem- ber watching it burn—it was just terrible.” Incredibly, the noon-day blaze injured no one, and youngsters who raced down the hill from the Lehman High School formed a bucket brigade which saved virtually every piece of furniture in the house— including the bathtub! For all her pride in things gone by, Judith Dawe is not a person to dwell with mournful nostalgia on the past. She is much interested in young people and their futures and de- monstrates this concern by ser- ving as aginday School teacher and youtiadvisor at the nearby Lehman United Methodist Church. She is not afraid to speak her mind, and if her candor has from time to time gotten her into what she laugh- ingly terms ‘‘hot water”, it is a quality much appreciated by her Iriel. A graduate of John Hopkins School of Nursing, Judy served last summer as the resident nurse in the Sweet Valley migrant program. She has also substituted from time to time Jackson Elementary School. The 90-plus acres of the Simms-Dawe complex provide ample space for the family’s out-of-doors activities and for Holly and King, their two mas- sive, coal-black Newfoundland dogs. Skating in the winter and swimming in the summer are enjoyed at a pond in one of their pastures, and a spacious lawn betweegathe two homes beckons neighbors to ‘come and sit a spell.” Judy says she really doesn’t like to cook all that well but does so ‘‘out of necessity—I have three men to feed!’ She does enjoy fixing desserts—especial- ly the English Trifle included here—and is grateful, not sur- prisingly, for the recipes handed down to her by her mother and grandmother.
