The Lynchburg News and Advance, June 30, 1997 - A HOMECOMING FOR THE "HOME". Nostalgia and affection brought Betty Lou Johnson back to the Miller Home on Sunday afternoon. Used to be, it was the Home's staff. "I ran away five times," Johnson said Sunday during a homecoming for former Miller Home residents, "But they always found me. We might as well have had numbers on our backs in those days, because we all wore the same haircuts." "Straight across, a bowl-type hair-cut," Claudia Kamel told me. "Sort of like yours." I'm sure she meant no offense for good natured needling was the mood of the day.
"When I lived here,' recalled Sallie Laughlin, "the other girls were your family. It was the only family a lot of us knew."
Since then, times- and residents- have changed at the stately building on Westerly Drive. The facility that Samuel Miller endowed back in 1875 as the "Lynchburg Female Orphan Asylum" to "rescue from idleness, ignorance, immorality and vice the destitute, unprotected white female orphans" has now become a refuge for victims of shattered homes and sexual abuse.
"Girls used to come in here very young and sty until they graduated from high school," said director Sandra Weigant. "Now 12 to 15 months is like the average. A lot of times, we are just another stop on the way to somewhere else, and it's harder to give them that sense of belonging."
Not that they don't try - and Sunday's mingling between "alumni" and current residents seemed to help.
"They're very curious," Weigand said of the younger girls. "They want to know how it used to be."
The tables in the dining room were covered with finger food and scrap gooks, and the former residents devoured the latter as if they'd never seen them before. Ida Mae Wright brought a scrap book of her own. In 1955, she and Lynchburg police officer Owen Wright were married at the "old" Miller Home, not long before it was ripped down to make way for Pitman Plaza. She was Ida Mae Leebrick then, already out of the Home and embarked on a nursing career. "I grew up there, though," she said on Sunday, "and it was always a dream as a little girl to one day be married there. The place always reminded me of a castle."
"We remember what led up to the wedding," kidded Sallie Laughlin. "We used to scramble around for peepholes to watch Own kiss you good night at the front door. " Betty Lou Johnson was even able to laugh about her most painful Miller Home memory-= the type when the Ocean Wave broke both her arms.....
