I became intrigued with Meto several years ago under some very strange circumstances. I asked some of Metos Tennessee kin for the story, and they have graciously allowed me to post it here. While most people in this area have a Cherokee in the cupboard somewhere, Meto is Shawnee. I assume he must have been a strikingly handsome young man for the girl to insist on having him right away. Here is the story from his family:
Many years ago there were peddlers who came through the mountains carrying their wares usually on their back. One such peddler appeared in the Poplar Mountain area close to the area where Clinton and Wayne County connect. With him he had a Shawnee Indian lad of probably 14 or 15 years. They showed up at a local home. The man of the house had a daughter about the same age as the Indian boy. She told her father that she wanted the boy and the short side of the story is that he traded for the boy. It was illegal for a white woman to marry an Indian but she evidently loved the boy and to put it delicately they co-habited. When the boy showed up the only possession he had was a token which supposedly had the word Meto on it. ( Perhaps it said Metro). That is where the name Meto comes from.
From this co-habitation came a daughter. . She was of course a half breed so was not socially acceptable. She, Betsy, became the mistress of a man named James. He kept his regular family in what was referred to as the "Mansion House" up on the road. Back in the orchard, he had a little cabin where Betsy or Bessy lived with her children. Meto died at the Blevins home in Pisgah. He had driven a flock of turkeys to Jamestown, Tennessee to sell and on his way home he took sick and stopped at the Blevins home-place. During the night, he died and they were going to bury him in the Smith graveyard there on the Kentucky Tennessee line, but the Smith's protested that no Indian was going to be buried in their graveyard. So they took Meto down the road a couple of hundred yards and buried him there. For many years there was only an old fieldstone there to mark his grave. Engraved on the stone was the word Meto or Metto, I can't recall just which one
Many years later, (probably in the 50s or early 60s) .... the family stopped by the gravesite. When they arrived, everyone got out of the car and grandmother took the storyteller by the hand and we walked off down thru the woods. They came upon this grave, and the grandmother had brought a bouquet of flowers which she placed on the grave. The grandson asked her who this was and for a long time she didn't say anything. Finally she said, "Aw, that's some of mammy's people". Mammy was what she called her mother, Emma. In those days you didn't talk about having any Indian ancestors, at least Grandma didn't. Family members today from varied braches tell this story the same way and it has varied little if any over the years.

Kuala Lumpur, 13/03/2012 - Saya melancarkan program i-Think di Bangunan Parlimen, Hari ini.
Transformasi kepada sistem pendidikan negara perlu dilaksanakan bagi melahirkan generasi muda yang mampu berfikir dan mempunyai kelebihan mengadaptasi ilmu bagi menghadapi cabaran di masa akan datang
Corak pendidikan sebelum ini yang menekankan kepada "hafalan" perlu diubah dengan menekankan kepada kemahiran proses berfikir di kalangan pelajar supaya mereka mampu menggunakan ilmu yang dipelajari untuk kepentingan diri mereka.
Hadir sama Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yang juga Menteri Pelajaran.
For the first time after a flight the Civvie doesn't have to go back into the HAB for checks or repairs and is parked outside on the tarmac for Captain Jeb to take out tomorrow.
Even if it drags you through thistles and leads you astray. As it always does.

A rare & candid photograph of Virgil “Gus” Grissom, in an unidentified Apollo Command Module mockup. I’m almost certain this photograph was taken during his July 10, 1962 visit to North American Aviation (NAA) Space & Information Systems Division in Downey, CA. Grissom, accompanied by Robert R. Gilruth, Director, MSC and Charles W. Frick, Apollo Program Manager, MSC, were at NAA to conduct the first Apollo spacecraft mockup review/inspection.
If so, and if the following is also correct, the tragic irony is heartbreaking to this day.
An interesting & informative extract from a discussion at “The Space Review” website, by user “oldengg”. While not authoritative, he/she is refreshingly articulate & seemingly very knowledgeable:
“ Sure, NAA had a lot of explaining to do regarding the inferior workmanship and the flammable clutter in the AS-204 CM. But there's a lot of history that needs to be understood to make sense of what happened that day.
In the 1961 Apollo Command and Service Module (CSM) Request for Proposal, NASA baselined an oxygen/nitrogen cabin atmosphere and North American Aviation (NAA) had complied with that requirement in its CSM proposal to NASA. NASA awarded the CSM contract to NAA on that basis and later directed NAA to use a 100% oxygen atmosphere.
In the early CSM preliminary design period, NAA had proposed a single, outward-opening explosive hatch for the Command Module (CM) main entry, one similar to the Mercury hatch design. Again NASA changed the design and directed NAA to develop the inward-opening, dual-hatch system that was used on AS-204.
From Lee Atwood's viewpoint, NAA had done as its customer, NASA, had directed and was now, during his congressional testimony, was being pilloried unfairly for NASA engineering decisions over which NAA had no control. Ironically, AS-204 Commander Gus Grissom was present when the NAA hatch design was discussed at the 10 July 1962 CM mockup review at NAA's Downey plant. Grissom agreed with the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center (now Johnson Space Center, Houston) engineers that the NAA single-piece, outwardly-opening, explosive hatch design should be changed to the presumably safer, inward-opening, dual-hatch configuration. Liberty Bell 7 hangs over AS-204 like a spectre.
And as far as the messy condition of the AS-204 CM, that was clearly NASA's responsibility because NASA had formally taken delivery of that vehicle from NAA in 1966. Many people who were not employed by NAA were involved in preparing the spacecraft for that ill-fated test. NAA had no control over those people or over any flammable material that they might have left in the spacecraft.”

Female Adult Literacy program was initiated in 2016. At present PEP is running 26 Female Adult Literacy (FAL) Centers with 316 Female Adult Literacy members (Adult Students) in different areas of rural Sindh as follows,
Khipro48
Mirpurkhas47
Khawaja Goth7
Tando Allahyar80
Tando Ghulam Ali134
There are 6 area officers and 1 WEP coordinator for the implementing and monitoring of the adult literacy program.
As a gesture of appreciation Pervaiz Lodhie President and founder LEDtronics Inc. offered a special gift of a Solar Powered LED Solar Light to the 316 student and 7 program officers.
Funding for the solar lights was provided by one of gentleman from USA. His name is not mentioned here on his advice.
First distribution ceremony was held on Thursday October 12, 2017 in Shaleemabad, Achaar Khaskeli & Shanti Nagar ALCs located in Tando Allahyar districts.
Lt. Gen (Retd.) Syed Perwaiz Shahid a renowned educationist was chief guest for the event.
Ms. Lillian Charles Program Manager PEP and other team members from PEP were present in the event.
During the ceremony 72 female students received solar lanterns. PEP will organize another event in Hyderabad for the distribution of remaining solar lights in November 2017.
Hope you are well , I am fine too. We are thankful for all your support through lights that you have provided to Women who are part of Adult literacy classes. As I have received a call from Mr Shahid i am sharing the following information with you.
Women Empowerment groups were started in 2013 in all the PEP schools. The ideas was to provide awareness to women regarding their rights, responsibilities, savings, and issues such as early marriage. These women were provided training on building low cost washroom and they were also provided training on how to save their families during severe floods. At present PEP has 67 groups in total. Each group has a group of 10 females.
In 2016 , on the request of women, adult literacy course is introduced to the women. Project aimed at 5 centres in 2016 but 27 centre were started in 2016. they women were provide free books and no fee was charged from them. A mobilizer from the same village taught these classes.. They course is designed for one year as it is a weekly class.
In 2017 , PEP introduced a centre where women can learn from android tablets. PEP has designed three grade applications in Sindhi on tablets which are useful for these women. They can use those applications and hear sounds and can read the sentences and stories.
Now women are able to read and write sentences. Instead of thumb print they can write their names. They developed their confidence and able to perform theater on sensitive issues. Some of the theatre performances are uploaded on PEP website.
PEP is reaching out to the marginalized communities with a hope of educating them and making them effective citizen of our country.
PEP requested you to distribute these light as a token of thanks and as a resource for them so they can use it in the night too. They are thankful for all the encouragement that you have provided to them.
Please feel free to ask further information.
