Your world just got smaller! Alfred Garr III(Alfie, but don’t call him that)is my cousin by marriage and runs a ministry in Virginia Beach, Va.
Wasn’t Camp Lurcrest something? I remember Uncle Alfred (Alfie’s Dad)working my butt off up there. I watched him climb to the roof of the main hall several times in one night checking on the water tanks when he was 86 years old. He drove Auntie Merle and himself to Virginia Beach when he was 93. When they were getting ready to come home he had a stroke and went on to the Lord. I still miss him.
That’s amazing. I’m gonna look up the ministry on the web, and if I can find an address for him I’m gonna scan that picture in and send it to him for laughs.
That’s also amazing about Dr. Garr. I had lost track of the family. I’m sorry to hear he’s gone, but he definitely lived a full life.
I would bet you and I have crossed paths a couple of times.
Lurecrest was cool. I learned to Water-ski there. Having been raised a Methodist, it was also my first exposure to fire and brimstone Christianity (my mom’s expression). I saw people speak in tongues there for the first time, and at that age it freaked me out! LOL
