I am not sure why Garnet Banks was in Denver in 1969 or 1970, but he came and spoke to a group assembled at Evanston United Methodist Church and it changed the course if my life forever. I was only 16 years old or so and I have no idea of what he said, but his message sent me on a new path and I am forever grateful.

Dear Lynda,

Thankyou for posting this.

For me, Garnet had a beautiful singing voice and such a sense of humour.! 

A man of depth and integrity has joined the crimson line of those who ‘rise up as wings of eagles. They shall run and not be weary, walk and not faint.’ 

Go in peace,

Isobel and Jim Bishop.

Karen Newkirk requested on FB that someone post this brief notice on the OE list.  

 

John and I are grateful for our time with Garnet and Liz and Becky and Ingrid in the Canberra House back when Jeremiah was a baby,  so that’s been 40 years ago.

We were specially surprised when we moved to Greensboro to find that Becky was working as a hand therapist not far from our house, which resulted in several

fine family visits.  That was probably 10 -12 years ago.

 

We send our sympathy and care to Liz and Becky and Ingrid. 

 

The address I have is Elisabeth.a.banks@gmail.com. 

 

Garnet’s memorial and Bev Salmon’s memorials will both be on July 6, 2018.     We scan all sing on that day of remembrance: 

 

Those who die on the March,

Shall renew their strength,

They shall mount up on wings as eagles.

They shall run and not be weary.

They shall walk and not faint.

Help us, Lord, help us, Lord in thy way.

 

Grace and peace, 

 

Lynda and John
