I would love to have been there to celebrate with you today. I recall the 100 year celebration. What a great time and event to celebrate. I have fond memories of the people there - past and present. I appreciate the guidance of my former teachers there especially Ruby Smedberg and Art Christianson. They made a profound impact on my life. I remember the wonderful “mission” stories that Minnie Tack would share with us about China. Yes, indeed, lots of wonderful memories. I treasure the friendships made there and kept over the years, young and old. It is wonderful to see how the Lord works in each of us to stay in touch and in tune with each other as well. May the Lord bless the event and everyone there! Greetings from Texas! (It’s probably a lot cooler there than here as well!) I hope to read and see more about this in the next paper or so - pictures would be great too.
