I remember him in Spain--my job was to go to Kodak and buy film for all the missionaries. He was always a prince of a guy--so kind, so dedicated. He is a great memory for me.

Our family met the Fotheringham Family in June of 1955 when we flew from Buenos Aires to Santiago to renew our visas. Our parents discussed the possibility of sending missionaries to Chile. That finally happened in 1956. Out of small beginnings wondrous miracles happen. The Fotheringhams are instrumental in bringing the Gospel to Chile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We love you! Amy Lee Valentine Corbin, Colorado Springs, Colorado
