We have been featuring "Life Reports" from alumni in the LCNAA Update to share their insights, experiences, lessons learned and advice. Here is a short report, reflection from Rev. Dr. James W. Ferree you might find interesting.
Name: Dr. James W. Ferree
Class:1952
Major: Religious Education
Life Work: Clergy
Reflections:
"The New Vision of Leadership and Servanthood."
Rev. Dr. James Ferree has had a successful career in the United Methodist Church, holding various positions at all levels of the church: Pastor, District Superintendent, and Program Director of the Conference Council on Ministries. He served as president of the North Carolina Council of Churches. The Council selected Dr. Ferree as recipient of the 1994 Distinguished Service Award, which signifies outstanding contribution to the cause of ecumenism in the state of North Carolina. His career has included a deep commitment and involvement in the cause of Christian unity, social justice and peace. He has provided strong and able leadership for the church and the community.
Livingstone College provided learning opportunities for him to develop a new vision of leadership and skills to be an effective leader in the communities he served. Effective leaders bring people together and enable them to mobilize their collective efforts. It is about learning how to create a sense of community.
At the age of 88, Dr. Ferree is still serving the church and community by teaching a Sunday School class at St. Paul United Methodist Church, volunteering to deliver Meal on Wheels, transporting patients to medical appointments for Senior Services, staffing the information booth at Piedmont Triad Airport, serving on Boards and committees and being an active member of Livingstone College Alumni Chapter of Winston-Salem, NC.

I like the ability of time, freedom and being able to do what you want when you want. That is a major win in any business.
I love sports, especially basketball. While at LC I played volleyball for the first time and was named Rookie of the Year. I also played softball.
Being the financial secretary has afforded me the opportunity to talk to different Alumni and getting to know some of them personally has been rewarding.
One of my greatest joys in life now is my granddaughter, Jordyn Coward. I'm married to Darnell Matthews and together we have 5 children: Shanterica, Sharief, Darnell II, Emory and Ebony. My son Sharief is now attending Livingstone College. What a great joy that is.
