A Common Acquaintance
I worked as the pastor’s secretary in 1990 at 1st Baptist Church, Sacramento. I was surprised to learn, while talking with our business manager, that he had attended one of Uncle Win’’s presentations, or talks, or some such. To know a young person, such as I was at the time, who knew & admired my great uncle was such a pleasure.
