Bear Hunting

When Chad and sister Stacey were young, they lived on Rohrbach Road in Corbett. Not having many "large" toys (trampoline, motorcycle, basketball hoop, etc.) around to play with, they went bear hunting. Into the woods near their home they would carry sticks and hunt for bears. Even when Grandma Pulliam, who lived next door would call them in, they would often say "not yet, we haven't caught our bear yet!" It is no wonder with this great sense of imagination that Stacey became deeply involved with the Corbett Children's Theater. Stacey has enjoyed many roles in various productions over the years. Currently the CCT group is without a real "home" to practice. The Springdale Community Center is no longer an option, so they are earnestly seeking space so that they can continue the group that has meant so much to so many in the community. Chad has chosen different passions. Chad has played soccer since age 5 and is gifted with his skills. A real asset on the field for the Corbett Boy's Varsity team! Also playing the bass guitar, Sherry and Dave Grey encouraged him to play up front for the church he attends, helping to lead worship. Recently Chad and Stacey's mom purchased a home in Corbett that both kids just love. Stacey says that all of the wood paneling, stairs and trim make the home feel extra cozy and homey, while Chad loves the huge open backyard. Both have said that at some point they can imagine coming back to Corbett after they finish high school and leave to pursue their goals. Each say it is the friendships they have developed over the years that will draw them back. Friends, and maybe another possible bear to hunt!
