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

[George Holcombe]

Wally and Joyce, the last we know, live in San Antonio.  The few times we bumped into them over the years, they seemed uninterested in pursuing any contact or relationship.

Wanda met Joyce at a convention in Austin a few years back and was hopeful of speaking to her again, but this didn't happen. Sorry, not much help.

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

> 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.
