Dr. Fletcher is one of the best memories I have of working for the Foreign Mission Board from 1965-1967. He was caring and supportive. Always smiling!

Dr. Fletcher served as President of HSU during my years as secretary in Logsdon School of Theology. His compassion, cheerfulness, Christian love, and caring means much to me and my family. I am grateful and have become a better person from knowing Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher.
