Sept. 25, 1980...Greenes Receive WCM's Mountain Heritage Award. Jane and Arvel Greene, descendants of pioneer Wester North Carolina families, Saturday were named the recipients of the 1980 Western Carolina University Mountain Heritage Award. The presentation of the award to Mr. & Mrs. Green by WCU Chancellor Robinson highlighted the sixth annual Mountain Heritage Day celebration at Western Carolina University. Despite cloudy skies and several showers, Heritage Day officials estimate that more than 12, 000 persons gathered on the WCU campus during the day-long observance. Crafts, old-timey contests, exhibits, cloggin, displays in the Mountain Heritage Center, singings and scores of other events took place over acres of campus transformed into midways and amphitheaters for the day. Musicians filled three stages for more than seven hours of continuous entertainment. In making the 1980 award to the Greenes, Robinson said, they have kept alive a self-sufficient way of life...pioneer crafts and skills, the pioneer way of independent living, and the old-fashioned homestead life.Greene, Jane & Arvel, III-P-16569, History - Mountain People
