Getting married to Debbie on August 11, 1973, within two months of graduating from college!
Our honeymoon! :-)
Our first apartment in Wilmore, Kentucky.
Travis being born on February 24, 1976.
A wonderful camping vacation (August, 1983) to the Smokies in Tennessee. We had purchased a used tent-camper. Travis was two-and-a-half. We took Deb's brother, Wally, with us as his high school graduation gift! We did a lot of white water tubing and did water-slides for the first time! Great stories!
Becoming a full-time pastor at Jeannette, Pennsylvania in June, 1976.
Being ordained in June, 1978.
Troy being born on August 24, 1980.
Tracie being born on August 13, 1981 - that's right, eleven months later! :-)
Becoming pastor of the Oakland Free Methodist Church in East Liverpool, Ohio in June, 1982.
In 1983, we upgraded to a little newer pop-up camper and started an annual, July pilgrimage to Pymatuning Lake, Jamestown, Pennsylvania. Every summer for the next twenty years found us camping there for a week!
About the same time, we began including the Canfield Fair as a staple in our family activities - often as a part of our camping trip to Pymatuning State Park!
Graduating from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in June, 1987.
Christmases were always special times - especially as the children became our focus!
Family Camp was always a fun time for our family as we packed up and moved to the Tri-State Campground for ten days every July!
