Fall Convention Trip 2007

We left home on Wednesday, Sept. 19th heading for Spartanburg, SC. Our first stop was to exhibit at the SCACS Convention held at the beautiful Marriott at Renaissance Park in downtown Spartanburg.

We enjoyed seeing old friends and acquaintances, some former students and meeting new contacts. Our location was in an excellent spot, because everyone had to go right by our booth.

After the convention concluded we had the joy of having supper with old friend and my former seminary professor, Gordon Lovik in Greenville, SC. Unfortunately Joanne was not feeling well and could not join us for the great Mexican dinner. We had a great time with Gordy!

Summer Trip

Early in August we took a quick weekend trip to our favorite area in North Carolina -- The Outer Banks. One of the days we took the free ferry over to Ocracoke Island to ride our bikes. Here are some shots from that trip. Note the beach highway "snow" (sand) banks. Out on the OBX they have to plow sand -- not much snow!

You'll notice our bikes on the back of our "White Knight" Dodge Dakota pickup.


Connie kept a watchful eye on the calm water as we made the 45 minute trip from Hatteras Island to Ocracoke. We are sailing in the Pamlico Sound, which is very calm and safe.

We would love to have you come to beautiful North Carolina and take a trip to the enchanting Outer Banks with us!
