Jewell Thompson has a love for serving
Jewell, who officially turns 100 Friday, said she has lived a very full and good life and is very proud of her three sons, David, Jerry and Jim, which she raised with her husband, Harley, in St. Louis, Missouri.
Jewell married Harley in 1941, on the brink of World War II. Harley was a Navy Seabee and was sent across seas on multiple occasions while Jewell “stayed home to keep the fire burning for the little ones.”
In 1952, Jewell began working for Southwestern Bell, later bought out by AT&T, as executive assistant to the District Manager of Training and Development. There, she was responsible for organizing the weeklong training program, “How to Manage People” for every union lineman.

LEESBURG Keep Lake Beautiful recently partnered with the Lake and Sumter Realtors group during their annual Clean Up Florida Water Ways month.
The local arm of Keep America Beautiful, a national nonprofit with a focus on empowering citizens to help improve and beautify their communities, hosted the event to create awareness on stormwater drains by placing markers reminding people that “only rain down the storm drain.”
“We are focusing on blue, green and clean because we want to keep the lakes blue and clean,” Keep Lake Beautiful facilitator Veronica Dau said. “With this great group of volunteers, we are helping remind people to do their part.”
