Tom, I knew my question would bring you out of hiding. I am surprised you didn't know their shoe sizes.

Another Naznetter emailed me some info about the former GSs. Her information was a little more detailed and somewhat different but mostly was comarable to yours.

I have been on PLNU's campus for the last three days. It is nice, but not as beautiful as TNC's.

I was able to chat with Bob Brower and Phil and Sharon Bowles. I need to go catch a plane. Later.

I think Dr. Stowe lives in Sun City, AZ now. At least he is listed in the Sun City Church of the Nazarene pictorial directory. Does anyone else know for sure?

Michael,
Hey man good to hear from thee.Wish I'd known you wree at PLNU My brother in Law(Dr Leffell) and Cousin(Chip Killingsworth) work there.Agree about the Beauty of TNU Campus.
DIdn't know you wanted their Shoe sizes would have been glad to have included it.Guess you knew that Jan Forman and Jom Mahan are not working at TNU any longer.The Cabinet is being reorganized and and will not include the positions they held.Both did a good job IMO and will be missed.
Remember Pleas Hampton?He passed away a week or so ago.Hey sometime when you are flying through Atlanta let me know maybe I could meet you.God Bless!

My information is a little different than Tom's

Dr. and Mrs. Stowe have moved to Arizona. They live near Phoenix.

Dr. Jenkins is in the Olathe area. I saw him in College Church one of the last times I was there.

Dr. Owens lives close enough to Olathe, that I usually see him in College Church when we are there. His daughter, Debbie Bohi, lives in Olathe and I believe he lives close to her. It could be Missouri, but it could also be Kansas.

Dr. Jerald Johnson was in Germany, but I heard that he has returned to the U.S. His son lives in Boise, ID, so I would expect him to go there too.

I believe that Dr. Hurn passed away about 18 months ago, but my memory isn't as good as it used to be.

May I correct you quickly before it spreads all over Nazarenedom?

He is very much alive and well and plays golf occasionally. His Christmas family photo looks great and he and his wife are still smiling. He even vacationed in Colorado last summer. What you probably are remembering is that he suffered a stroke about 18 months ago. His progress is very good.

Thanks for letting me do that!

Edith,

So glad you made that correction! BTW, for the record since I didn't see it posted, the Hurns live in the KC area. Can't remember for sure where, but on the Kansas side, I think.

[Dennis M. Scott]

Ray Hurn was counted out, only to rise again!

Dave, to quote Dr. Hurn, himself, "Well, boys, I'm back!"

[Hal Kreps]

Dr. Jerald Johnson was in Germany, he has returned to the U.S. His son lives in Boise, ID. He is pastoring at Valley Shepherd Nazarene in Meridian, Idaho.

This is one time that I am glad that you could correct me. Dr. Hurn has been a good friend over the years. I remember when Dr. Hurn, Dr. Ponder Gilliland and I locked ourselves in a hotel room and rewrote the Judicial Manual for the Church. That revision lasted about 15 years.
