Personal Notes:
Sandra and I were members of Bethany Church from August, 1999 until we moved in May, 2021. We always enjoy returning to our church home of nearly 22 years and seeing the dear people with whom we have a loving relationship.

Here are some of those with whom we enjoyed a fellowship time:

With Sis. Charlyne Harrison. She and her husband Dr. John were our
“Georgia Parents”, and we had many good and loving times of fellowship
together.
