Brief Report on Founder's week.
Glenn and I have been up in Chicago since Sunday, Feb 4th. We attended Alumni Board meetings during the Super Bowl Game. During the break, I did walk up to 2nd floor ASC to watch about 2 plays. Right after the kickoff, someone at our table got a phone call announcing the opening Chicago touchdown.

Monday morning we had Board meetings. In the afternoon, there were 4 large Alumni gatherings for the classes celebrating their 10th, 25th, 40th and 50th reunion. The class of 1957 had over 160+ folks return for their special 50th reunion.

Tuesday was Alumni Day. We had the normal sermons in the morning, then the Banquet followed by the class reunions. I asked to monitor the class reunion of 1977.

Tuesday evening was the announcement of the Alumni of the Year. Bob Conrad. Bob graduated in 1960 and has served with Wycliffe nearly 50 years. He has worked on many translations. Bob and Joanne attend Grand Prairie Bible Church. Joanne's neice is Carol Boerckel (our good friends from Bolivia days). Carol's brother, Tom, was the youth director back in 1992 at GPBC, under Michael. During the banquet, we connected Tom and Michael briefly.

Glenn and I usually stay several days after our Alumni Board meetings, to help out at the alumni office. Yesterday, we helped with the distant learning reception up at Moody Church. And we also ate in the SDR with Karen and Boyfriend. Glenn ran into Dan Gute (Ben Lippen class mate) and also his son, is on Karen's brother floor. SMall world. No big family.

Today, we're meeting with several MBI students that are signed up to do their internship with CAM in Mexico and Honduras.

More later.
