I don't know anything about that. I don't even remember pickles. But it struck me a few minutes ago how very low my expectations were for something to eat when I was a teen, as opposed to today. I guess I've gotten spoiled. I thought I was fed pretty well out of the HAC cafeteria back in the...

My state foes My state does not register firearms, even to this day.

Good question on the married student’s house. I honestly don’t know. But I do recall going inside another married student’s house, so I guess I should be punished 😁

It was a legal, private transaction between two adults. I didn't do anything wrong.

If I'm not mistaken, Eddie Paul pastors a church in Missouri. You can find him on Youtube.

It was about 1980, so I was over 21 years old. I was working in a plant in East Chicago and I had a revolver that I wanted to sell to a co-worker. We met in the parking lot and the guy examined it and decided he wanted to buy it. While making the transaction, an anonymous classmate of mine who...

I suppose it's the great American staple, but the only thing that I can remember from a HAC sack lunch was pb&j sandwiches. And in my memory, they were pretty good! Thanks to the young ladies who made them!

Sound the Battle Cry

I only heard Dr. Rice preach in the last five years of his life. He was almost completely deaf and even though he wore hearing aids, couldn't really hear what he was saying. That was why it was hard to follow him.

How tragic.

Ed Reese was a good accordion man! I am reminded of an episode of the Drew Carey Show many years back. Drew played the accordion and wanted to get in a rock band. He said "Everybody knows you can't have a decent band without the rock accordion." Trivia Fact: The first instrument that three...

I didn’t know the Rices but always felt that they walked the walk.

I don’t remember that dance. You would have to demonstrate!;) However, I don’t remember any dancing in the boys dorms. Even though we know that King David danced, that would have been considered far too unspiritual for all of the consecrated young men of HAC to participate in.

In 1977, I had completed my first year at HAC and was home for the summer. I heard that Lester Roloff was going to be preaching at a church about thirty minutes from where I lived. My dad and I went to this church, which wasn't even an IFB church, but Lester was there with a singing quartet of...

I confess that I did it and that I did it terribly. :rolleyes:

I don't attend the church. I did visit there some about 11 years ago, but it is somewhat amusing to me. In many ways it's the modern version of us HACers, fifty years ago. The male students don't wear ties, they wear skinny jeans and sneakers. They raise their hands and sing praise songs. They...

Bro. Hyles (in his own way) was smooth, relatable and convincing. Back in the late 70's I talked with a young pastor who was attending Pastor's School and he said this, "The difference between Jack Hyles and Dave Hyles is when I hear Jack and his story, I think 'if he can do it, so can I!'. When...

Sherry, did you know that many ballroom dance groups often put baby powder or other talcum on the floor so their feet will glide across the surface. Maybe your friend was into dancing!!!

I worked for the Union Tank Car Company in East Chicago, welding railroad tank cars. Those things have a long shelf life and for years afterwards when I would be stopped at railroad crossing for a train to clear, I would always note which tank cars were marked with "UTLX" and wonder if I might...

I remember my days at HAC, mostly in the latter 70s as an introduction to many songs that were congregationally sung in chapel that I had never heard before. I haven't heard them since either. Back then, I actually thought Dr. Evans' song leading was a bit strange, but then a friend of mine...
