I was just a kid and all these folks came to the senior youth camps in Louisiana when Phillips preached them in 1972 or 1973.
Hmm.
If Fender used to go on a weekend of drinking and taking drugs when he was a youngster before he got converted was it called a Fender Bender?

Good morning, Tim.
Becky Fender is the daughter of one of my dad's closest friends back through the years, and a man you probably know, David Varnado. The last I heard he was still living in the Lake Charles area.
Dad said that Steve Fender got in church in Illinois or somewhere up that way. He preached for us back in the seventies at Sandy Lake and was a powerful preacher.
Their close association with KP would have come later...
Good to see you back on...
