Asbury Secretary
In 1966 my dad accepted the position of Alumni Association Secretary as Asbury College, Wilmore, Kentucky, where he and my mother graduated in 1950.
We lived in a brick duplex on campus behind the President's home at Asbury, Dr. ZT Johnson. Dr Johnson and my dad became dear friends through the years, spending many happy times together, especially during Dr.Johnson's trips to Florida. Dr Johnson was like a father to my father, giving him counsel. It was my honor when I was able to attend Asbury for one year, to live with Dr Johnson in one of his upstairs bedrooms. His wife had recently died and I was able to be a companion to Dr Johnson in his lonely times.
My father was only Alumni director for two years at Asbury, as he returned to the United Methodist Ministry in Williston, Florida in June of 1967.
It was during a revival that Dr Johnson was conducting for my father in 1975 that I became a called one of Christ. It was soon after that I went to Asbury for the Junior year. Blessed times. Sacred memories.
