In reply to John Schabacker.

I grew up in that church and was there when the Cartwrights attended. I have such vivid memories of that building and the services therein. Rev. Schabacker instructed me in confirmation along with one other boy. Our parents would drive the 20 miles from our homes in Weed to attend weekly instruction. That dedication serves me to this day as a continuous member of the LCMS for all of my 71 years. One other note; Rev. Schabacker saw something in me that prodded him to give me his personal copy of “The Deerslayer” by James Fenimore Cooper. Still have it.
