I remember you as "Thomas," but unfortunately truncated everything to fit my message into 200 characters. I like your Christ logo t-shirt. I'll email the photo.
Michael Cheslock September 4, 2010 at 7:13am

Hi Thomas, I was looking at Tx Corps. Boy would it be fun to talk with you. Out here in Blanco there is a lot of potential. God is bringing folks to my door and I teach them. Remember, "The greatest students make the greatest teachers." John Lynn is going to be in Austin Oct. 10. Would you like to join us for a fun day? There is much I can learn from you that I can use here in Blanco.

Hi Thomas
Fond memories indeed and a lot of things have happened since then. Thanks for your kind words and as Willie himself would say "Always on my mind" God bless you abundantly Thomas

Elizabeth Slater McEwen (Liz) August 4, 2008 at 12:32am

Thomas - I definitely do remember you! And it must have been from the '79 WOW Festival. Thank you for mentioning the 'usual culprits' from way back then in London. I wouldn't have seen you in 82-83 as I was in-residence in the 13th corps, but I knew Liz Cheong (and her brother Michael), Michael Mantock and Johnny McCormack...and I met up with Sean O'Duffaigh in Gartmore in 1985. So good to read all those names again. We are all blessed to have been among many precious people.

The early WOW Festivals all merge a bit for me now. I remember my first one in '77 in Alsager College, and the next one or several were in Manchester University. They were such fun!

I trust that your life continues to be enriched by Him
Blessings,
Liz :-)

Hi Tom,

Goodness me, it's been years and years and years, and I can't even remember when or where I saw you. I do remember your face, and I know we must have spoken to each other sometime in the foggy distant past! Love the photo of you and Sangat! I still hear from him occasionally, but it's been couple of years since I last saw him here in the U.S.

God bless you Tom :-)

Thomas,
So nice to hear from you. Thanks for the congrats on the Ph.D. Yes it was with Segert, got it in '94. When were you at UCLA?
I remember having the best job ever at HQ, listening to tapes and summarizing them (you were my boss).
I'd love to chat some more with you later.
Don MacMillan February 3, 2008 at 8:18am

God bless you too Tom. I was not sure you would remember me. I am so blessed to see you standing and shining for The Master. Good photo of you and Sangat. He is a real blessing. We connected a few years ago when he came to teach in our area. Give him our love if you are speaking to him. God bless you, Don
Janis Lang Johnson February 2, 2008 at 8:31am

Hi Thomas, Janis here, doing her former legal secretary trick. That being, having my boss stand behind me while I type.

The Janis form of dictation. (100 wpm)

Anywho, I am typing for Ron, who is so blessed you remember him. Yes, he is 3/8 Choctaw. His dad, the blue eyed Indian is from East Central Oklahoma. And yes, he still has a great sense of humor. Yes, he was in Mary Martha's Way Home.

Thanks for letting him email you. You may want to read my blog on "so who is this guy I am marrying." I think that may help you understand what he has gone through in recent years. But, he still has absolute confidence that God will deliver him. You will enjoy that.

The guy in Eureka, are you referring to Hans Meidell? The 6 foot 9 swede who lived in Chico with the rest of us. College WOW.
He was really funny, popular and had a lot of Bible in his heart. Ron and Hans were like frick and frack, is that who you mean? Ron says he still really misses him and no one seems to know where he is.

Hey,
let's continue this in an email, shall we? Ron's email address is (and I have his express permission RJJ,) is doggiepapa@yahoo.com. He will be in touch. He loves you very much, thinks of you often and is very thankful to have had the pleasure to meet and work together with you.
