Marquette Manor Baptist Church Reunion

Kari, my dear daughter, agreed to drive me to Chicago.  The trip took place without any snags or problems.  We began the activities of the day at the Frist Baptist Church of Burbank.
Jim McCarty welcomed everyone and gave us the directions to the old church on 60th and California.  We were chauffered by Roy Vasquez.  He even drove us past old schools and our old house. 

There is Roy and his 50 gallon hat.   This is where the old auditorium was.  It is now the parking lot.  The streets around the church are now one way, but back in our day they were not necessarily one way but VERY narrow.

Larry Thomas was taking my picture.  You can't see his beard, but he has had it for 40 years.

The pastor greeted us warmly.  That is Karen McCarty going in the door and George Phillips.

The church has been renamed.  They have done an amazing job of remodeling the educational wing of the old church to their purposes.

  1. Wonderful pictures! Sure wish I could have been there, but so glad you were able to go. We have learned that we have to seize the opportunities.
