His sister Hilda would have been out of my league since she was a preacher's daughter but there was one young man at our Racine church that was "sweet on her" at one time back then. I did meet Wayne Mitchell at ABI while I was there. He was related somehow to the Lattas and pastored there. I have a friend named Joe Plunk who now lives in Ohio and his brother was at one time a pastor in Moline, IL. So, I have never been there or really known the folks there but know a little about them.

Small world..I've known Joe since he was kid.
his adopted brother Richard pastored Moline/Silvis church after his fatherinlaw WC Mitchel became ill.
Wayne's dad was Louis Mitchell, could that have been the L Mitchell you knew Sam.
Sam Latta was a cousin to Wayne M, so they did manage to keep the church in "the family" quite a while
Gary Randol pastors there today and they just built a new 5 to 6 million dollar building.
