“I’m telling you, that banana pudding, really—it’s life changing.”  (Malcolm Livingston II)
Malcolm is a chef who has recently been named to work at Noma in Denmark, said to be the best restaurant in the world.  How did this come to be?  His inspiration for cooking came from Aunt Alice who would make “goodies” for him and his young friends, and their favorite was banana pudding.  As you think back, who had a life-changing influence on your life?    ;-)  Jack

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Mrs. Ray Honeywell of 1st Methodist, Moline gave me a very positive example of a Pastor's wife while I was in H.S. Very Attractive  and stylish,, warm, led singing, counseled us, wrote children's books.  When it came my turn to be a pastor's wife years later, I was mentored by that memory. Sarah Reed, Sr. Pastor's wife at Elgin where we served as associate pastor, was the other one; participating in every aspect of ministry  with Dr. Willis Reed (Served as Pres. of AB Convention, as Bill did, later) and cared for four children, one of whom had had polio when only 10 days old, (their only girl) and was in a wheelchair. Our only daughter, Sarah is named  after Sarah Reed. Their 3 boys and our 3 boys had some jolly good times; a lively bunch!! :-) One of my son John's favorite pies is banana  cream! Don't know that it is a life-changer for him, however!

FROM HCC CHUCK:  A young Pastor from Augustana Donald F Anderson a member of the last class before moving to Chicago
