My niece, Judith, was in a Beauty Pagent at her high school which she won. She is a beautiful girl inside and out and I am proud to claim her as my niece! Congratulations, Judith!
We went to Huntsville this weekend for a dinner honoring Tim's mom and dad. Though there are so many people in this photo to single anyone out, these are all the people who came from out of town to honor Joe. Ten came from Harding. All his children were there. Three of the ladies who went on the beginning European campaigns came - on all the way from Seattle, Washington. Gotfried Riechel from Germany was also there. They spoke of the beginning of the campaigns and the beginning thoughts of the foreign campuses for Harding as well as the Vocational Ministry Program that Joe had a hand in starting many years ago. Tom Parsons read a beautiful letter from Jerry Jones that was a tribute to Joe and he had letters from many others who could not be with us. It was a very special night.
This is Neale and Treva Pryor who came from Searcy to be with us for the evening.
This is Don Shackleford presenting Joe with a commentary he wrote and thanking him for all these years of friendship.
This is Dr. Burke presenting Joe with a Lifetime Christian Service Award. Joe was really surprised and said himself that this was the first time anyone ever caught him "speechless!"

I am so happy that all his children and so many of his friends were able to be there. As you could tell...I didn't get to come.
When did Judith grow up???? She is gorgeous!
Hi Tammie! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving despite your grief and loss of this year. I was in your prayer circle two Sundays ago. You've been on my mind and in my prayers this holiday season. *hug* -Karen
What a wonderful time for Tim, his Dad, and all the family! I am so glad you could all be there to help in the celebration.
I agree with Becky, your neice is beautiful!
