That's really cool! What did you have for dinner and what did you talk about?
Had steak and all the trimmings on real nice China plates and real silverware. All on a portable table set up in the vacant lot.
Total at the dinner table was about 7 or 8 people. Two of them were my wife and I. The movie folks were Clint Eastwood and his producer David Valdez.
A lot of small talk went on about the filming he was doing in Texas. I warned him about the fire ants. He asked lots of questions but apparently not enough because I read a few days later they had to shut down shooting in a rural area one day due to fire ants. LOL.
He is as tall in person as he looks onscreen. He was also a very nice person. This happened around 1993.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
I've not been back, so I didn't see the questions. We were in Liberia, West Africa...and yes, I am working on a book about my father's life in particular that would encompass these stories among others.

Phew. We all heard about pastor EF and that deal several years ago.
It's been over fifteen years, but sometimes when I tell the story, it is hard to believe we really did that. But we did. I'm just SO thankful I'm not a part of it any longer.

Are you Edwin Forkpa as Hoovie suggested with the link to PPH? If so, you came to visit our church, and we bought your book. Loved the book Fourth Man in the Fire.

I don't think he is EF.
I remember the water bed story being in that book.
Sorry if I am wrong Stew!

No. He is an adopted brother of mine. My parents took him in, raised him, brought him over to Bible School here etc. He is an awesome teacher, preacher, and writer.

I bet I'm the only one on here who has lived in a firehouse!
You may be the only one who has LIVED in a firehouse. But I do know another member on here who has spent his fair share of time at the firehouse. And I gotta tell you - Walt is seriously jealous of you! He wanted to buy a house directly across the street from our fire station 25 years ago. I knew if we did, I would never ever see him!! So we bought one 3 blocks away.
