15 Jan 2023Wish I could have been there, but due to my health, I couldn’t make the trip from Oklahoma. I remember when he was at Geuda Springs, Ks and the church listened to my talk. They raised a barrel of clothes and a barrel of toys to send to me in Korea for an orphanage a few of us GIs we’re going to give Christmas to those kids. Thank you, Trenton and all.
