“In all my perplexities and distresses, the

Bible has never failed to give me light and

strength.”

― Robert E. Lee

Greetings Compatriots – Well the summer is finally here and with it comes the sounds of lawn mowers tryi

keep up with the overdose of rainfall we have been receiving.

t is also at this time of the year that we remember and thank our Good Lord for the men and women who fwhat they believed, was the defense of their homes and families. We should not only remember the fallen b

he maimed and crippled veterans who are still with us and in need of our care and prayers.

Compatriot Oren “Kevin” Mowels is continuing to improve in his battle with cancer and expects to be at ou

next Camp meeting on the first Tuesday of June. Please continue to pray for a lasting healing for Compatr

Kevin.

Lisa Marie Clinger, the Daughter of Compatriot Tommy Clinger, is continuing to heal from her surgery and

eceiving physical therapy at home.

Compatriot George Edward Winn Jr. has completed the cataract surgery to both eyes and his eyesight is gre

mproved. Unfortunately, George is also experiencing heart problems which sap him of his strength. He h

been told by his physician that the arteries going to his heart have deteriorated to the point where stints can

onger be put in. Nevertheless, Compatriot George is continuing to plod along and recently performed at th

George Winn Memorial Park for a Blue Grass Festival. George created this park to encourage the continua

of historical Virginia Bluegrass Music and to have a venue for young musicians to perform.

Our good compatriot Hugh Hawthorne underwent surgery on his wrists and the right wrist has healed nicel

The left wrist still has a way to go to completely heal and Hugh is doing physical therapy on his legs. Hug

expects to be at our next camp meeting but continue to keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

A reminder: If you know of any of our brothers or sisters in the camp who are ill or having difficulty of any

please don't hesitate to let me know. I can be reached at home at 794-0704.
