Dear Bill & Nelda
We cherish our memories of you both and your sweet family. You were such a blessing to us at Lompoc and we know you continue to be a blessing to each other
and to the church in Visalia.

We've tried to find some pictures that
would be representative of our shared time at Lompoc.
We have found that time has taken it's toll on our pictures but perhaps the ones we did find will bring back some precious memories.

By-the-way, when you get to the Family Encampment pictures of Yosemite, you may remember the 8 mile Panorama Trail hike we took. I hope by now that you have forgiven me for talking you into that hike. You were good sports about it.


We love you guys and wish we could be there to help you celebrate your 50th.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

I know Bill can appreciate these 2.Bill and I went to San Fernando to bring this thing back and had to do a huge repair job before we were successful. Needed a new drive shaft. Bill drove it back to Lompoc.














These 2 are men's fellowship breakfast. Not good pictures but very meaningful.
See how many you can name, Bill. Maybe I need to jog the "Old Folks" memory.
Virgil Leach, Marshall Anderson, Bill, Curt House, Bruce Brown, Jim Williams, Larry Lang, Bob Wilson, Jim Sasser and Lee Mock.















Picture on right above includes, Bob Wilson, Bill, Ken House, Marshall Anderson, Curtis House, Glenn Thompson, Floyd Marshall, Larry Lang, Jim Williams, Bruce Brown, Eldon House, Hubert Eatmon. The Brother's name to the left of Glenn escapes my memory.
The above pictures were taken in 1965.
