Weren't they? Wendell Gleason was one of the kindest gentlemen I've ever known and Ellis Scism was simply grand. True Christians! I miss them.

Do you remember Ellis Scism's quirky sense of humor? He would quote himself by saying, "As my wife's first husband says..."

Absolutely. He lived in St Louis for a time. We chatted a few times before I moved to the NWest. We ran into each other at Oregon camp a few years later. He had declined in health somewhat but I'll always remember him looking at me and saying "I wondered what happen to you". I was honored to be recognized by such great man of God.
