Pictures from Sebring, Florida

Jerry Webber came through famously in providing wonderful pictures of the recent visit by Clarke and Roslynn Poorman to Maranatha Village in Sebring, Florida. Here is Gil Seddon, Dennis Whitehead, Coach Poorman and Jerry Webber getting very friendly with the camera. Looks like Florida living is agreeing with them all.
And "the Gals" (Jerry's title for the pic) also showed they were enjoying themselves too. Here are Sherry Whitehead, Pat Seddon, Lynn Poorman and Kathy Webber fellowshipping at the the Webber's home.

This final pic was entitled "Serious Business" by Jerry, and you can see why. They take their games seriously at M.V.; we know by experience -- believe me! After retiring 12 years ago from Woodcrest Baptist, and turning the church over to son Mark, Clarke has been pastoring at Grace Baptist in Waseca, MN, for the past three years. Jerry says, "He and Lynn look disgustingly good. Graduates from 50 years ago would pick him out quickly in a crowd -- her, too!"

Looking at these pictures reminded me that I have on my desk a daily reminder of the Poorman's. In 1976 I traveled with Coach to the northern Virginia area for a FBF meeting. We stayed with Lynn's parents at their home in Rosslyn, VA. Her dad gave me this beautiful pencil/pen holder that he handcrafted. It sits on my desk in our den at home.
I have taken the liberty to "swipe" a picture off of my sister's blog (http://gailsgarden.blogspot.com/) from their recent trip to the Raleigh area. Gail and Paul were able to fellowship with Larry and Linda Pettegrew, Tom and Jane Zempel, and Diane Bookman. Doug Bookman was in Israel at the time. All of these men taught at Pillsbury in the 70s and 80s, and are now at Shepherds Theological Seminary in Cary, NC.
