Thirty years ago his church in Palo Alto asked him to become a teacher full time on the basis of his “spiritual gifts.” That began his three decades of work in the ministry.

Quote: “This year at Christmastime I am very thankful for the many blessings God has given me and those I know. I am especially thankful for His gift of the Savior whose birthday we are celebrating.”
