How did you come to PC?
How did I come to PC? If that means Political Correctness I haven’t arrived
yet. If it stands for Personal Computer, I came through much struggle and striving-
typewriters WILL come back. If PC stands for Peoples Church- we moved to Salem
in order to be near our grandchildren- and began attending PC. We loved the
church and the Pastor and never left. After some time I was invited to join
the Staff and was thankful to have such an opportunity. We love PC! (Peoples
Church)
What is the best thing about your role at PC?
The People who serve alongside me. The staff of Teachers, Facilitators, Leaders,
Counselors and Workers of all sorts who work in the ministry with me are just
wonderful! Variety is the spice of life and I am spiced up!
What is something few people know about you?
I began in ministry at age 16 at San Diego First Assembly of God as a Junior
High Choir Director.
What do you do on your free time?
Long or short drives with Cheryl, depending on gas prices. Time with our (adult)
children and grandchildren. Volunteer as a Police Chaplain with Crisis Chaplaincy
Services. Cook in my backyard.
