What you give lives on!

Yesterday I went to Malden with one expressed purpose:  I intended to find a picture and write up of Claude Layne who left a bequest for the Baptist Student Center which is still crucial to us today!  Unfortunately, it has become only a name to most everyone but me up here!

But I knew Mr Layne personally and remember when he sat in our front yard and Daddy asked him about making the gift!  So I was hellbent on finding a picture of Mr. Layne to put in our BSC exhibit for our world to remember by both name and face!

So I hired a driver and spent the day with his wonderful niece, Lucille Pinckley, going through her pictures. She was so thrilled that he would be remembered in such a special way!  What a little thing we do when you think of what this 6'7" giant of a man did for us and continues to do!
