In late summer 1959 I rode to Charleston, WV with him and his wife and another couple to a Church of Jesus Christ conference. I was 21 years old and our first child was due in November. I took out license with the Church of Jesus Christ at that conference. I think he was affiliated with them and I know my wife's grandfather, Eld. Fred Crider, was affiliated with them. Eugene was later affiliated with the "Church of Jesus Christ, Pentecostal Faith." Bishop G. Brock in Indianapolis, IN was the Presiding Bishop and the headquarters church was in Niles, MI. I was later licensed with that group. I heard or read somewhere that they later merged with another group called "The Church of Jesus Christ." As you know, that is a popular name for Jesus' Name Pentecostal organizations. I have no idea who Eugene was affiliated with over the years, probably independent most of the time. I know he did fellowship with with Bishop Howard in New Castle, IN and I've been at his (Eugene's) church when Bishop R.L. Hancock from North Carolina was there.

The org out of Niles merged with The COJC I was a part of, now headquartered in Kingsport, TN. This group has the original charter that Boyd claims to have. In fact, it controls all rights to the charter and name, and yearly updates the paperwork on file in Nashville.
As you know, I am no longer part of the group, but still maintain ties with it in regards to personal relationships.
