I shall never forget the time that Mr. Totty and other men of Calvary Baptist Church took a group of unruly RA's to the Peaks of Otter campground and put up with us for several days. That experience proved to be a profound and positive influence on my life. God bless the Totty family and rest assured there are those praying for you.
