I sang "This is My Soundcheck Song", "Nobody Talks (During Coaches Corner)", "Saturday Night/Saturday", "I'm Too Old for the NHL" and Free Stanley. At the end of the event the group pictured above jammed on "Do Lord"-type songs. I closed by singing Bob Dylan's "I'll Remember You" since I was fairly close to Dorion Bible Camp at the time.

I've decided to make mp3s of these songs (plus others) available for download from this page or this page (My Ed Gooch-type songs from Dorion Bible Camp plus "I Will Put My Faith in You"). I added "The Other Half" this month.

I have included tombstone pictures here. If you are uncomfortable with this, just scroll on down.

When he realized that Pat and Courtney were going to be in town, Tim Lappala initiated the idea of a party of the current and former IVCF staff (who are in town) at my place. I have volunteered with IV/ISCF for a long time and was, in fact, interim part-time staff between Nina and Tim. (I was actually still full-time with CSSM Ministries/Dorion Bible Camp at the time, but IVCF contributed to my support, helped with IVCF and received monthly reports from me.) The party was Saturday night and it was a good time of eating, chatting and never getting around to playing Balderdash. Back Row L - R: Miriam Lappala (who was staff for 1/2 a year), Tim Lappala (who was also my Assistant Program Director at Dorion Bible Camp for 3 weeks in '96), Paul Morrison (current LUCF staff), Pat Cain (ISCF for a year before Annika) and Mary Ellen Cain (ISCF '98 - '01). Front Row L - R: Courtney & Isaac Cain, Annika Vastamaki (current IVCF High School Ministries staff "Frontline") and Richard Pepper (moi). (Pat, Courtney and Mary Ellen, of course, were also staff in various capacities at Dorion Bible Camp. As well, we realized that Pastor Doug Doyle is also former IVCF staff -- but not in Thunder Bay.)

Rick Sherlock (right) was once a student in the Northwood Park Church of Christ Sunday School. He is famous for building a giant stable out of styrofoam (an "unstable") for the Christmas Play. Later he was a chapel speaker at Camp Dorion a couple of times. Now he is pastor of O'Connor Free Methodist Church.
