Hey Bill,
I still can’t believe you are so close. A lot closer than Chicago. LOL
Anyway, I mentioned in an earlier email that I am the Bible teacher at Stone Ridge High School in Merced, California and also the pastor of Planada Community Church. I am setting up my chapel schedule for this next year and thought of you. I don’t know what we could work out. Or if you are already going to be down this way, we can possibly coattail with someone else. If you have any ideas, I would love to talk with you. You were truly an important influential person in my spiritual growth when I was Moody. Thanks again.
By the way, have you heard or know where Lee and Jennifer Bond are located now? He was my roommate at Moody and I can’t seem to locate them.
Anyway, hopefully we can chat. God Bless
Joe Levesque.
Bill, I stumbled across your site while searching for a picture of the parting of the Red Sea to use at our ministry’s upcoming banquet. When I saw your photo in the banner at the top of the screen, I thought, “That guy looks familiar.” So I dug deeper and found out where our paths had crossed — Grace Pointe (or Naperville Bible as it was known then).
Thanks for the great words of your blog on the Miracle on the Hudson, especially the reference to the Billy Graham quote. You both challenged and edified me as I was preparing my presentation. So glad I could be blessed once again by your teaching.

Barbara… how great to hear from you! Thanks for visiting the blog, give a hug to Manny, and please keep in touch.
