Thankful Memories

It has been a busy fall! Connie and I have just returned home after exhibiting at seven conventions over the past nine weeks, and traveling 5,000 miles. We are glad to be home so that Connie could get relief through a root canal on the day before Thanksgiving.

Just this week we received the news that Susan Foster passed away after a long battle with liver cancer. Pray for Max and family as they mourn their loss, and trust in the Lord for His grace. Susan's obituary can be read at: http://www.pantagraph.com/news/local/obituaries/article_7d36977c-d974-11de-b205-001cc4c03286.html.

Just after we left home in September I received an email from June Barlow Matthews and was not able to post this photo she sent at that time. I am sorry that I buried this photo on my computer for a number of weeks. Here is June with her brother Jack, and sister Judy.
I love the pictures you send!! Thanks to Connie Day Soiberg for encouraging Pat Whitten Thomas to send several wonderful pictures. This fall Camp Assurance in Georgetown, IL, had our old prof Richard Brady speak for their Senior Saints Day. Here is a great picture of Steve and Cindy Nelson, Richard and Jan Brady, and Pat and Ken Thomas.
Steve Nelson is retired from the pastorate, but still plays the accordion and fills pulpits in the Danville, Illinois area.
Connie Day Soiberg also sent this nice photo of Sandy Lackey with her husband Jim Binkley. The Binkley's divide their time, I believe, between the Seattle area and Arizona.
Keep those pictures coming!
