<div>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.</div>
<div>Do you know the whereabouts of the Bakers?</div>
