center in LA on the former site of The Farmers Market. Part of the Market
remains but the majority of the land is utilized as a pedestrian mall with
shops and a trolley that runs on tracks through it ala Disney World. We had
lunch at a deli in the Market and are relaxing in front of a koi pond. The fish

PEARLY GATES from Paula Wicker Hamby

asked.
"Well, I can think of one thing," the man offered. "Once,

I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen.
So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked
him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on
the ground. I yelled, "Now back off biker boy or you'll answer to
me!"
St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?"
"Just a few minutes ago".

A review of the Heartsong Benefit – from
I attended the concert/garage band fest et al at Heartsong and attest to
the terrific time enjoyed by all! FYI, Interstate 55 is a fabulous band -
musicians still playing today - everywhere! Leader/ keyboard is Jon Hornyak, head of the local NARAS chapter; Jon really
keeps music of all kinds going and music news traveling in this area.
Another FYI - re the forever young Geo.Klein - we
have a very nice Communication Dept.scholarship here at the U of M in his name
- so heads up Warriors whose might be headed in broadcasting. (Flash asks
when the phrase "garage band" came into use….think I'll tell him to
ask Ron Hall who did the 'KNO special and book.)

Oct.20 – EVERYBODY RISE ! from Susan Lowry
Bridwell
Friday was a day to remember. US Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts
spoke to the Charleston School of Law and the Legal Community here. The program
at Guillard Auditorium was amazing and so personal. Chief Justice Roberts is a
real person and very approachable. There was much laughter and drama. The
questions asked varied from "... How do you balance your personnel life and
professional life?" Roberts said that he had a great mentor in Rehnquist,
who told everyone early on ... your children will be 5 years old only once and
you have " this job" the rest of your life. So go home to your
family. Another question dealt with the confirmation hearings and can they continue
as they are? Roberts said something has got to give... they need to be shorter
and questions need to be those that they can speak to.
The private Cocktail party was very small and we felt very
honored to be included. The Secret Service was everywhere outside of One
Battery and halfway through the party they came in and did a walk through. They
were NOT friendly looking and almost "gangster like". Not what I pictured.
I did not speak to Roberts but my husband, Randall, did. I spoke to Mrs.
Roberts and she is an attorney also. She turned the table and asked me
questions ...... such as what do you do here in

Oct., 31- from Leeba
This is a quick update on Caleb. We missed his message early this
morning on the answering machine, but he told us that his vehicle had been
blown up, but he was okay with a busted ear drum. Many men have been
killed and blown up. He was very sober sounding. Pray for all those
who have lost family members and offer a doxology for the grace bestowed for
Caleb. He sounded confident in God. I am lead to pray that he will
express praise and thanksgiving continually for as it says in the
Psalms says, "whoever offers praise glorifies me and prepares the way
so that I can show him my salvation." God wants to draw
men to his grace and love. May he get their attention.
Thanks for all your remembrances of him and others as well. We are
humbled by his favor when so many suffer.
