November 2014 Volume 18, Issue 11 More Than a Face in Our Midst By David Simon Back in the days when finishing high school, much less college, was a thing of beauty that demonstrated a strength of determination and hard work, a startling statement that “I finished in the top 10 in my class” (not the top 10% mind you) was cause for excitement for anyone. So it was, when I sat down to talk with Lee Hacker, the resident property manager and member of the Board for Churchill Estates. Oh, but wait, I failed to mention what else Lee said, “there were only 10 in my class...” Lee Hacker, Still, Jamesy Leland (Lee) Hacker has been at the top of his game, in fact many games for many years. Born and raised in Hart, TX, a small town north of Lub- CEHA Property Manager bock, he did his early-years’ schooling there until he went to Baylor University where he graduated in 1952. Following that, he matriculated at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, while holding a job at Swift & Company meat packers, to make ends meet. Churchill Estates A NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS PUBLICATION During this time, he met his soon-to-be wife, Jerri; they were married in 1953. After graduation from Southwestern, and looking to start a career, he worked at Waco State Home for orphaned children. The urge to further his education was prominent in Lee, and Jerri’s, mind; she was an R.N. So he went back to school, to the University of Texas at Austin, to study for, and eventually earn, a Master of Science degree in Social Work, after which he worked at the Settlement Club Home in Austin, where he was the children’s director for 5 years. The Lena Pope Children’s Home in Ft. Worth was Lee and Jerri’s next stop; they stayed at the Home for 11 years, where he developed countless programs to help youngsters. After that, he moved to San Antonio where he worked at the Baptist Children’s Home for 13 years. It was here he developed a program, horse therapy, which “matched a child’s need for love with a horse’s ability to offer love and kindness.” Later, he accepted a position as a therapist at Laurel Ridge Treatment Center. His last “gig,” before retirement was at Boysville, where he continued his program of horse therapy. Lee and Jerri moved to Churchill Estates in 1995 and Jerri passed away two years later. Lee and Jerri’s family includes two children, Brad and Robin, and now there are five grandchildren. Throughout his career, Lee has inspired children to far greater heights than they ever imagined they could reach. And now he is on the receiving end of inspiring calls from his young “charges,” a few of whom call him almost daily for pep talks and the like. His sense of pride in Churchill Estates, his home for 19 years, is prominent in Lee’s mind, and body. He has held the position of Property Manager for ‘lo these many years, a man we often see around the neighborhood checking out the stone entrances, colorful flowers or sprinkler heads. And often he’s with ‘Lil Dude, his cute as ever dog. Continued good health, Lee.
