He was a 1st sgt. when I served at mt. Vernon (post 42). He chewed me a couple of times, but I deserved it! R.I.P. Ken Spahr (U-996)

Pastor Ed was a blessing to many. He will be missed. I loved his stories of how God was so faithful in his life. One of his favorite sayings was answers to prayer, answers to prayer. I thank God for his influence on my family's life. Sharon Morris
