The two years that Fred was in OKC RH were, primarily due to his 
leadership, very good ones.  Fred married Pam and I in 1971 during the 
middle of that assignment.  Golf, of all things, was the catalyst that 
brought us after a 30 year break.  It was our mutual concern about social 
change and our understanding of the transparency of the gospel, however, 
that remained at the heart of our connection.  We quickly established a 
tradition of going out for a drink and conversation after each round.  We 
had two wonderful afternoons with him, his wife, and his daughter during 
the past three weeks, even though he was becoming terribly frail.  Despite 
this, he continued to orchestrate enthralling discussion on a range of 
topics.  I'll miss him.
