    Hi, Sherry… just read lots of stuff on your blog. Fun to hear the details of your story and see pictures of your life now. Also loved the Wheaton family pictures. Recognized one with your dad around the table. I remember him coming into the YFC office. Brought back memories of Paul too. I remember him so well. Life has it twists and turns, doesn’t it? But how fun the way it has turned out for you and Mauri. I’m still at YFC – now working for Dan Wolgemuth, Dr. Sam’s youngest son. 55 years this past March. Dan is the 6th of our 9 presidents I’ve worked for. Dan is a gem. Love supporting him. Well, I could go on forever but just wanted to jot a few lines to you. June

    Greetings from Orpington (near London )England! I was so interested to read a bit about you via the YFC Alumni email today. Then I went to your website – and here is my response.
    As a young man of 20, I started fulltime christian service (as we used to call it!) on my birthday, 1st January 1961. I was the first fulltimer in a British YFC local “rally” – and stayed with South East London YFC for 12 years – then moved over to the ministry of Pocket Testament League for a further 30 years. Sadly PTL UK had to lose staff (lack of finance) and I was the “chosen one” – but carried on in various roles till I officially retired last summer – at 68. We are still very busy in all manner of activities and service -including helping our 3 married children with their 8 kids. What fun we have!
    However – I was at Winona Lake and the YFC Directors school at Maranatha in July-September 1961. I recall the Spurrlows – and Im sure Mauri was one of them?! Have I got the year right? Seeing that ole picture seems to ring a bell in my memory bank. But maybe it was his twin?! I loved the Spurrlows and was greatly blessed by them and their style of music. Well, lots of other memories from those amazing years…. but my wife is calling me to do something ,so better go and do as Im told (hahahahaha)
    Love in Christ, Peter J Honour
