During High School, John and I sang together in Concert Choir we both graduated from La Quinta HS in 1969. Then played and sang in a band, recorded records, performed in night clubs, and at Knotts Berry Farm several times. John Shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with me all through High School and College. The seeds he planted finally bore fruit a few years later... in 1973 I was saved and became a "born again" Christian.
