[Oe List ...] Looking for an old order family

[Rod Rippel]

Hello George, You may recall that we first met in Baton Rouge through Wally Baker following RS-! at Waveland, Miss. At the time I was ‘active’ in the UMC and you and Wally were clergy in Louisiana.  I thought of Wally recently and the words, “And are we yet, still alive,” came out of nowhere.  I wondered if this was an old ritual used by Methodist ministers at Annual Conferences?  I searched a copy of the UMC hymnal and found it was the first line of a Charles Wesley hymn.  I may have sung it since childhood!  With the passing of colleagues and OE friends it would make a fitting common ritual.
Do you know the whereabouts of the Bakers?

Brad Grow and Darla Duncan Ross (who are moving to Chicago) are trying to locate Jennifer Ross, daughter of Roger and Mary Ross.  They were in the Brisbane House and the Melbourne House 77-78 and believed to have returned to Canada.  I can't find them in the directory.  

Thanks.

Hope appeareth, but it is not your Hope—you do not have anything to do with it. It just appeareth. It comes as a stranger, as an alien—it just appeareth! You do not even know why you hope. How in the world could you hope when there is absolutely nothing to justify any hope?    ~Joseph W. Mathews
