The summer of 1968 was a turning point in both Jim's life and my own.
Jim and I crossed paths in Corvallis three years after graduation. We started studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. 1st century christianity and the truth's therein appealed to us.
After being transferred to Corvallis in the early 70's, I served with Jim on the body of elders in the Corvallis Congregation.
I looked forward to a 1,000 years of peace on this planet under the rule of the King Christ Jesus. A paradise wil be returned to the earth and the resurrection of the dead will take place.
Jim and I will again renew our friendship.
