Troy Conner, you and I met as we entered the third grade in 1939. I changed schools and the next time I saw you, we had both moved and were in the 5th grade and lived within a block of each other. So, today, we can say we have known each other 81 years. You’ll be 89 today and I will follow 6 weeks later. You, Troy, and your family led me to Christ and influenced my life choices. Our friendship became close for the rest of our lives. Happy Birthday, Troy! I am so happy you and Ruth have found places of service in a church that means so much to you. May you both enjoy many more years of happiness.
