years later. In 2021, I visited Chicago with my wife, daughter, son, and their
partners, and we all went to visit Fifth City and the Iron Man—they for the
first time. Attached are some photos, of me in front of the Iron Man with the
Program Center in the background where I took part of the Academy, the
still-running “Iron Man Can” Fifth City Preschool, and my old elementary school,
now renamed Leif Ericson Scholastic Academy. </p><div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Also a vintage wintertime Iron Man

I visited my 93-year old dad Gene and 91-year-old step-mom Joyce in Texas recently, and they
gave me this seven-inch-tall metal Iron Man statute that they had picked up along
the way from the Wichita Religious House. Did all the Religious Houses have one?<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">When I raise up my hands like the Iron Man, I think of these
words from the Order song, “Free, free, free to decide, what this world is
going to be.” We've still got a lot of work to do!<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Much appreciation for putting up with my 10-week House Church
countdown to IRON BOY’s debut. If you read it, or share it with others, please
let me know the impact. You can obtain both the paperback and e-book now on Amazon,
and through other bookstores soon. <span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style=""><a href="https://www.amazon.com/IRON-BOY-Searching-Freedom-Religious/dp/B0FCMMVHDC">https://www.amazon.com/IRON-BOY-Searching-Freedom-Religious/dp/B0FCMMVHDC</a><span><br></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Grace & Peace,</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">David Marshall, <a href="http://www.marshallbooks.net/">www.marshallbooks.net</a></p><br></div>
