Dear Virgil, I am another of your camp products. If you remember the only black boy in 1968, you will remember me. That camp, and the 70' camp, enabled me to take enough courage to chance a try at MVNC. I am an ordained Nazarene elder and have served as youth pastor at the Los Angeles Grace Naz church and teach 5th grade at its day school. Under your ministy, and camp director Baker, I confirmed my life commitment as a Christian.

I grive with you in your loss...

To the Applegate and Stears Families, our deepest sympathy for your loss. We hope that your dearest memories of Virginia will heal your hearts.
Sincerely,
Mary Stears and Family (my late husband, John, was Virginia's cousin)

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
