1998 We went to Montgomery, AL to Frazer Memorial UMC for their semi-annual church training "Every Member in Ministry". The couple, although not sure it's significant, are Ken and Janelle Conn. Group from Somerset UMC went and had cancellation so Dad went along with us as I recall.
From Dad: Catherine, on that Hana trip summary, it looks like an extra digit in the # of bridges. No big deal, but people might think that I couldn't really count. [Changed post from 507 to 50+ on 2/24/10]
