FYI... In case some of you thought that DOB is date of birth... Oh to be 23 and know what I know now ... That DOB is date of baptism.

It's incredible, what today's photographers can capture on their cameras!

This is an American's idea of a Canadian Guard Dog. Here I always called it an Ugly Cow on Stilts.  Unless of course you were talking about far east of Canada - NL

Program from my first international convention(s) some years back---way back!  (I found these from my mother's belongings.)  Wonderful keepsake as it highlights talks from Brother Franz and Brother Henschel.

We were at that one in Atlanta - maybe you saw us there

 

In 1978 we were in New Orleans - My wife was baptized at that one (she wasn't my wife at the time)

I think I was at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for both of those...

Hmm, come to think of it...was it you that was kicking the back of my chair on the last day? 

 

Side note: Yes, we've come a long way from 8-day conventions, real time orchestras, and paying for hoagies, cheese danishes, muff-n-eggs and fruit bags with meal tickets, haven't we?

Yup, and Satan bagels, if you ate more than one you were bound for a 1000 years....

I missed the 1969 convention, but the congregation in my area went to Atlanta I think.  I had just begun studying.

 

Not sure where I went in 1978.  My wife and I went to New Orleans, Jacksonville, and Memphis and Atlanta (several times) over the years.

I had been baptized in the April of that year at my first circuit assembly.  Peace On Earth convention was my first big convention at Wembley Stadium. It was fantastic.

I have been there more than anywhere else over the years. Went there when we used the old building, then, when we quit using that facility (there were contract disputes then they tore the building down and built a new one), we went to Kissimmee  then Gainesville. We are back going to Jacksonville - will be there this year (July 15-17)

 

For a few years, even though we were assigned to Kissimmee, we went to Albany, Ga. Technically, Kissimmee is closer by almost 100 miles and the trip should be quicker by 71 minutes, that is not actually the case. Kissimme is closer than Albany but, with the traffic, it was actually quicker for us to go to Albany. Additionally, the scheduling of the Kissimmee dates did not work out for our entire family. We used to rent a 15 passenger van and travel with our in-laws on dates we all could go.

 

When we started using the O'Dome in Gainesville it was much easier for us. Only 20 minutes for us and 5 minutes for my in-laws. But, even though we are back going to Jacksonville, we can still drive back and forth each day - I drive to Jacksonville for work several days a week.

I remember one year we were at the Gator Bowl for a convention in Jacksonville.

A simple smile when you pass someone in the grocery isle. A kind word to the customer service person on the phone. Opening the door for and older one or returning their cart to the store so they can get in the car. Simple gestures, huge rewards.

The uglier the creature, the more loving.  I just had to share with you my cat offering of the day ~ George~.

Precious baby. Hope he was born that way and not abused.

Kitty love is still kitty love!
