She has been responsible for sorting out documents and keeping files straight in the new town hall, thus gaining her the job of Town Historian and Deputy Town Clerk. She was a a prime mover on the Covillebay Housing Committee and as Director for the Fort Covington Adult Center has been a friend to all, as well as a supervisor and administrator. It became obvous that Carleen's lot in life has been to \do*' and not merely to \belong\ — she has taught religion, helped form and was a leader in the girl scout and brownie troops and has been a volunteer for the Red Cross, Heart and Cancer Societies, the Bishop's Fund and the North Country Catholic. Of the nine years as a member of the American Legion Post 1418, eight years have been as chaplain. As each of the speakers told of their experiences with Carleen, and for anyone who has ever worked with the petit fireball, the reference by Father Menard to \here comes trouble\ was graphi- cally clear. Among those who were speakers were Pat Tuper, Harold Snyder, Sister Mary, Art Brady, Tim Smith, Clyde Vinceiiette, Father Menard and Father Devan. Seaway Valley President Ruth Brill expressed thanks to Pauline Brockway and Sylvia Brill for their Women of the Year Committee endeavors. It was most fitting that dur- ing the celebration of \National Volunteer Week;; Carleen's lifelong \doing\ for others without thought of per- sonal gain be recognized in the Seaway Valley's choice of the 1986 Woman of the Year.
