Little by little word of the whereabouts of various friends and compatriots from 40 years ago is beginning to drift in. Thanks to John Allen Chalk who was one of the major players in the inner circle for the following updates. I hope we can establish some contact with these new finds and hear from them.
Walt Cabe lives in Arlington, Texas and represents nationally a software company.He got his Ph.D in clinical psychology from the University of Oklahoma after his years at ACU and involvement in CE. He had planned to go with me to Atlanta for a campus ministry when I suddenly accepted the pulpit at the Highland Church of Christ in Abilene in 1969. Walt and his wife, Marjorie, are close friends of my wife and me. Walt is a leader in the St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Arlington where he teaches an exciting adult Bible class.
Andrew Hairston is the minister for the Simpson Street Church of Christ and is a municipal judge in Atlanta. He has served as president of the board of Southwestern Christian College in Terrell, Texas.
My last contact with Bud Stumbaugh was a few years back. He was a board member of Faulkner Christian College in Montgomery, Alabama. Bud was elected to several terms in the Georgia State Senate and was in the executive search business in Atlanta.
Jim Reynolds was my minister for almost 15 years at the Lake Highlands Church in Dallas. He was also my law partner for almost 20 years before resigning recently to become the full-time minister for the Lake Highlands Church and to devote more time to writing. He has remained a prophetic voice for the Lord Jesus Christ in my life. No man speaks to my heart like Jim does.
Steve Franklin is a successful Atlanta businessman in financial services and international business education. He took his Ph.D. from Georgia State University after graduation from ACU. Steve and Walt Cabe were roommates at ACU.
My wife, Sue, and I have lived in Fort Worth for 20 years now, the same amount of time we lived in Abilene.
I appreciate John Allen's sending these updates. I will attempt to follow up and try to get a post from these men.
My husband, Tom Jones, and I were at the '68 seminar, and it had a profound and lasting impact on our lives. I was happy to find this site and to relive some history that I was blessed to be part of.
I thought I would give some input on two of the photos that are posted. (1) the speaker who is labeled as "unidentified speaker" is, my husband says, Humphrey Foutz. And (2) the caption under Chuck Lucas's picture says that he went on to start or lead what has been called the "Boston Movement." This is incorrect. He actually lead what would be called the "Crossroads Movement." Then Kip McKean lead what would be called the "Boston Movement," which became the ICOC. Just thought I would send this clarification. Thanks again for this site.
