[Oe List ...] Remembering Clarence Snelling

[Gail West]

Clarence was one of the teachers of my first RS-1 in Denver in 1970 where
he was on the faculty of Iliff Seminary.  I have many memories of his
participation at House Church at the Denver House, the LCE and recruitment
of courses.  A great spirit giant who addressed the lives of many of us.
In gratitude.  Gail
