Some info about us

We moved to North Carolina in 1967 which means that our lives have been almost evenly split between 40 years in the north and 40 years in the south. Catherine and I both had some schooling in the south so we really have a couple of more years as southerners than as northerners. The picture at the top was our home, and now belongs to our oldest daughter and son-in-law. We live in an apartment on the end of the house.
I am afraid that our accent still betrays our northern heritage, but that is much less of a distinction than it was in 1967. We have enjoyed our southern years and it looks like we will complete our lives here and be buried not far from our main home for most of the last forty-one years.
Our children are mostly here in the area. Three daughters live very close to us. One is in the same house. One is a mile away. Our single daughter Martha lives about six or seven miles from us. Six of our ten grandchildren are here in town. Add to these two sons-in-law, two granddaughters-in-law, and one great granddaughter, you find that our clan totals about sixteen in this community. Our son and his family have been the odd ones who have not seen the light and moved to Winston. They have resided here for a very short while, lived in Indiana, France, and now Richmond, VA. Their next move will be this coming summer when they change their residence to Florida.
I was a part of what is now Piedmont Baptist College for twenty-two years. Since heading for retirement, I have been at Tennessee Temple University 1 ½ years, Bible Basics International 18 years, the Philippines over 1 year, two seven month tours in South Africa, and now back in North Carolina.
It has been a great life. We have been able to visit, mostly in ministry, over twenty different countries, teach the Word, work in administration, do radio broadcasts, earlier run a hotel, and a variety of odd works during these years. This is one of ten blogs we are maintaining currently. There are also two book stores on line.
That is a quick summary introducing us a little more. How about letting us know who you are? You can leave a comment on the blog or you can write me at: drdkd50@hotmail.com. Have a great day.
