The actual Weedpatch church is now in Bakersfield, it has been through a lot but it seems to coming through it OK now. I think someone already mentioned that Bro. Pulse pastored there after Bro. Dawson died, but he also died last year. Kenny Blackwood, who has been in that church as long as I can remember is now pastoring it.

The Dawson children are spread out, as I mentioned, Shelly is in SD, the oldest son (I am blanking on his name) is in FL I think, Becky and David are in Arizona (I am pretty sure about that), and Daniel was the only one left in Bakersfield. If you know the Leggs, I'm sure they would love to hear from you, they are two of the sweetest people I have ever known. (I can get you contact info) They were devastated by Daniels death, it was such a tragic thing. Daniels wife and two sons go to our church, it has been a hard
road for them.

BTW, what time frame were your parents in OK, and how far is where they were from Henrietta? My grandparents pastored there for a while in the late 70's early 80's I think.
