She is not a recording artist, but a graduate of JCM, the first winner of the TBN singing search, and is well known in the southern Gospel industry. I have other opinions in this regard, but will only focus on the positives of the event. The positives outweighed the negatives by far.
I was glad to hear that the hotel wrote off the remaining balance too! Especially for JB!

You know.....I was curious about Karen Harding too. I didn't know who she was and asked someone at the reunion. When they told me it was her, I was so excited because I thought finally I would get to hear her sing - I'd heard so much about her. I don't know if it was just an oversight or what. Probably was nothing personal, but I would have loved to have heard her!!
As for Reba, that was the one part of the reunion I thought was ridiculous. Sorry - I know she affected a lot of lives musically in that era (well, actually her mom did), but I couldn't figure out why in the world she was singing at a JCM event.
But that one thing sure didn't ruin the weekend for me! I had a great time, reconnecting with old friends. The love we felt this time from some of our UPC brothers/sisters was overwhelming. They were truly glad to see us and catch up on life and ministry, and vice-versa.
I think the more conservative people are realizing that some of us really do want that connection to our background. We don't resent it or look down on it - we loved that time of our lives!! If someone leaves UPC and has a haughty, prideful attitude, then they are WRONG. God help me to never feel that way!
