About Me

Let’s see, after I graduated from the 14th Way Corps in 1986, I went back to finish my masters at Texas A&M, and stayed to run a “Twig area.” At the end of three years, everyone between me and the Board of Trustees (My Territory Coordinator, the Limb Coordinator, and the Region Coordinator) had all left. I was sending my blue forms directly to Howard Allen. At that point, I left also. I got on a plane for Gartmore Scotland and married a Graduate of the E-5 Corps- Dagmar Reichelt. We lived in Germany for the first 3 years of our marriage. Rev. Chris Geer suggested it would be better for a newly wed couple to be in Europe at that time because the Ministry was not in such disarray there as it was here. I am sure that he was right. We stayed there through the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the ensuing U.S. Military Draw-down, then Moved back to the States. We had two beautiful Girls. Becca ,18, was born in Frankfurt Germany. (She is named after the 10th Corps Girl who witnessed to me.) Stephanie,14, was born in Missouri. (She was named after my Corps sister- Stephanie [Sarro] Barnard.) Dagmar and I Divorced in 2000, and I am currently helping my Corps Brother, Rev. Kenny Hagar run a CFF Ministry fellowship north of Kansas City, MO.

Great to see you here!!
DeLinda Yord Claypool March 27, 2010 at 12:41pm

Yes! I absolutely remember you! You look great! I am doing well and living on the northern side of Kansas City. I need to get my bearings here and learn to navigate around but I am so pleased to see so many faces from the past and memories brought to mind. Thanks for saying hi. I often wonder "whatever happened to...." so it will be great to catch up.

One of the advantages to having brain surgery is that you can say what everyone is thinking and if its unpopular, you can blame it on the surgeon.
Ric Cox March 21, 2010 at 4:33pm

Thanks!!! After all I've been through, I wouldn't be surprised to live to see 90. I pray we are the generation to see the return. If not, there's a chance we won't know it anyway.

My suspicion is that 2027 would be the logical time. After all, its 2000 years after his crucifixion. But there are plenty of things to do without getting all caught up in the mess of guessing.

But its fun to know our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. Thanks again!!!

Tom,
Thanks for your comment. I always remember you as one of the kindest Corps people I ever had a chance to be in-residence with. My job is very fulfilling and after 20 years I have to say that many others have said I am very good at what I do. Someday I'll write a lil blurb about miracles I have seen and see daily when I am dealing with so many old & young patients that love God. You ARE God's Best. As Dr. Wierwille said so many, many time: HOLD'ER HIGH!
see ya here, there or in the Air!
Donaldo
