Price Jr., 58, of Oak Ridge, Joseph Skorski, 79, of Oak Ridge, ===================================== Ida Meyerson Coveyou, 82, of Oak Ridge, died Thursday, May 29, 2003, at Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge. Born Ida Charlotte Meyerson on Oct. 19, 1920 in Chicago, Ill., she was the daughter of Joseph and Rena Meyerson. Mrs. Coveyou graduated in 1938 from Hyde Park High School in Chicago, after which she worked for several years in Chicago. On Sept. 25, 1943, she married Robert Coveyou and they came to Oak Ridge shortly thereafter. She was employed as a junior health physicist at the X-10 site of the Manhattan Project until 1948, when she left before the birth of her son. In the late 1950's, Mrs. Coveyou returned to college and received her bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee in 1960. Later she also received a master's degree from UT. After graduation, she began a 40-year career as a teacher and tutor of remedial reading and mathematics. She was continuing to tutor two students up to the week before her death. She also taught among the first Adult Basic Literacy courses in Tennessee, and wrote and consulted on effective methods for teaching remedial reading. Her family said she took great pleasure in the progress of her students, first in their growing reading or math comprehension while she was tutoring them and then in their later lives. Throughout her time in Oak Ridge, her family said she expressed her passion for justice through involvement in social action, particularly related to racial justice. Early in Oak Ridge history, she worked with the Scarboro Day Care Center and the Scarboro High School. Later on, she was an active member and officer of the Oak Ridge Community Relations Council, an interracial civil rights group in Oak Ridge in the 1950's and 1960's.

She is also survived by three nieces, Sheela Mierson and husband, Howard Stanfield, of Newark, Del., Elana Kann of Asheville, and Joy Weiner and husband, Jack, of Centreville, Va.; two nephews Oliver Houghton of Fremont, Calif., and Darrell Houghton of Boulder, Colo.; and by two grandnephews and one grandniece. Diantha Pare, Aase Brynestad, Caryl Kaplan, Peter Luippold, Alta Hicks, Kit Kuperstock, Lavada Chisholm, Bettie and the late Henri Levy, Eleanor and Roger Clark, and Don and Janice Reynolds, are all considered special friends, several of which her family said helped her tremendously in recent years. A memorial service will be at the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church at a later date. The body was donated to the Anatomical Bequest Program of the University of Tennessee Medical Center. The family requests that any memorials be in the form of contributions to the Sallie McCaskill Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o Diantha Pare, 117 Wendover Circle, Oak Ridge, TN 37830.

All, The Scott Co, TN website has been updated. Please drop by and take a look. You might find something interesting. A list of changes or updates is described below. Sorry the list is not as large as you've come to expect but I've been away on business for several of the preceding weeks. June's update may not be much larger as I will be visiting Scott Co the week of 15 June to conduct a little personal research and to meet old friends. Speaking of which -- The 3rd Annual Scott Co, TN Genealogy Researchers Get-Together will be held Thursday, 19 June 2003, at the First Trust and Saving Bank Community Room in Oneida (232 South Main Street).
