Hi Tena, I’m not sure if you will remember me and my sister or not. We were in Hawaii from1973-1977. I found you from one of Sis. Scott’s pictures. I was looking through your pics and I knew you and your Dad looked so familiar to me. Then I saw his name was Jerry and I knew it had to be him!
When we lived in Hawaii, my sister, started a bus ministry on Kaneohe Marine Corps base, where my Step Dad was stationed. It grew and grew to where the church gave her a bus and she filled it up with over 200 kids! The thing about it was…your Dad was the bus driver. He would come over EVERY Saturday with my sister and me (sometimes) 
and do bus visitation with all those kids to make sure they were coming to Sunday School the next day. Then he would turn around and come back the next day and drive the bus to church and back, over an hour each way, then he would have to drive back home to the other side of the island. As a kid I had no idea of the sacrifice he was making but oh how I understand now! I tell people about him all the time and what a great example of a Christian man that he was and I am sure, still is!! He greatly impacted my life.
I remember Cathy as being one of the sweetest ladies with such a sweet and gentle spirit!
I loved looking at all your pics. They brought back a flood of memories!
Maybe we could chat sometime and talk a walk down memory lane. Lord bless!!
My husband and I talk about it a lot. Being a pastors wife now I really understand what a tremendous sacrifice your Dad was making by taking his Saturdays, and Sundays, for I don’t know how long, and spending time and money to help some kids get to Sunday School! What an example of being like Jesus! It was people like your Dad and Step Mom and the Scotts that really impacted our lives!
It’s so good to connect with you! Please tell your Dad and Cathy hello for us!
