Inez Cooper, 77, Philadelphia teaching assistant, hospital chaplain

WHEN INEZ COOPER was a teaching assistant at the John Wanamaker Middle School, she didn't confine her work with the students to the school building. She would take them to church and to Vacation Bible School. She would also visit their homes and invite their parents to church. Always concerned about her charges' spiritual health, she would also add their names to the prayer lists in her church and urge others to pray for them.
