Our recently deceased classmate, Emmett McNeill, Jr., will receive the Order of the Long Leaf Pine Award this Thursday, January 27, 2011, 2 PM at the NC Museum of Art.
The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is the highest civilian honor that can be granted by the governor and is one of the most prestigious awards that is given to individuals who have a proven record of extraordinary service to their organizations, their communities and to the State of North Carolina. Additionally, a state employee can be awarded The Order if the employee has contributed more than 30 years of dedicated and enthusiastic service to the state of North Carolina.
The McNeill Family extends an invitation to all classmates to attend.
