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.
