Portland Profile
by Linda Thompson
ter one year at Portland Community
College, he joined the U.S. Arm y
and spent two years there as a quar
termaster in the States and in Korea.
R eturning to c iv ilia n life , he
became an employee o f Northwest
Packing. As you follow his steps up
ward you w ill see how his “ stick to
it " paid o ff. His first position was
that o f clean-up guy; from there to
lift- tr u c k d riv e r; fro m lift- tr u c k
driver to jam and jellie maker; from
jam and jellie maker he went into his
present position; truck driver. As
truck driver he is responsible fo r the
transportation o f raw materials be
tween W ashington, Oregon and
California.
An interesting note is that Lynch’ s
entire career has been spent with this
one company.
The very quiet, conservative and
very personable V irg o enjoys
traveling, carpentry, painting, dan
cing and car racing.
He is married to one o f Portland's
most qualified Black nurses Joan
Lynch, they are the proud parents o f
A ficr a short period o f mental arid
physical rejuvenation in Louisiana,
Mississippi and Texas, I am now
back in the City o f Roses to resume
my weekly column.
W ith what appears to be a nation
wide racial reoppression for Blacks I
am convinced that it is twice as im
portant to continue to present to the
Black youth o f Portland Black role
models that would not and w ill not
accept the fact you cannot succeed in
any career area you choose, despite
the many obstacles you will encounter.
The role model for this week com
bines excitem ent as well as
economical security in his chosen oc
cupation. He proves that ’ •stick to
it " and dedication must be combined
to succeed.

Lynch has this to say about being
successful.
“ 1 compare building a successful
career to that o f the lifestyle o f an
ant. Take your time and continue to
build. While building you may, like
the ant, run into many obstacles.
These obstacles, however, can make
you stronger for the next obstacle. In
no way should you let these obstacles
obstruct your view and stop you
from reaching your goal.
“ It is also im portant that you
know what these goals are as early in
life as possible and again, like the ant,
stick to accom plishing that goal.
There are going to be many many in
terferences but again I say, ‘ stick to
it . ’ The rewards w ill be great.”
U ntil next week remember: Your
mind is the most important element
o f the body, don’ t dull it by excessive
drug use, let it grow and mature as
the other parts o f your body do.
