My wife and a few former students and friends have been plotting to give me a 90th birthday party. They are hopeful that a large number of former students and close friends will be able to come by for a few minutes to say hello. (What if they gave me a party and no one came? I am not the only one that would be embarrassed.
The mini-committee has a beautiful gold on black poster, but it is too large for the constraints of this blog. Don’t let these women down.
So, here are the details you need to know.
WHAT: 90th Birthday Celebration

Put the address in Google and you will have a nice pic of the location a little south of Sligh Ave.

Happy Birthday, Ferrell! Thank you for your faithfulness and your generosity in allowing me to use your photos on my blog. May the Lord continue to bless you.
I will be unable to attend due to the distance, but I want to wish you a very happy birthday. The Lord has blessed you with life, ability, and opportunities to serve Him, and you have truly been a blessing to so many others. Thanks for the big part you played in kindling a fire in my heart for a deeper understanding of God’s word and His eternal purpose for us. ~ Steve Klein
