Harold, so sorry for your loss. It has been many years since you and I shared our fellowship at Bible Center church, but I have fond memories of those times. Brenda and I moved to a retirement community (Willow Valley Communities) in Lancaster, PA, ten years ago. We are doing well. Hope you are too. Phil Tate
