Thank you for the info on the Lagrande church. I could not remember even though I had friends that attended the LaGrande church. By the way if you are from the LaGrande area do you Know of Dan Saterwhite or Larry Bankston?

We have been (and still are) very involved with Bible Quizzing, so we have known the Meaderds from LaGrande, for probably 30 years or so.
I have a brother and sister in law who live in the Portland area and went to CBC. I know who Dan is, through them, but have not seen him in years. Larry Bankston sounds familar, but I do not recall knowing or meeting him.
I live in the South now, but still fellowship both UPC, WPF and the GIB!
