I was thinking this morning on the beginning of the school year. I remember my first fall in Hammond, 1976. I remember well when Bro. Hyles kicked off the Fall Program. The theme was "Praise the Lord." Everybody got bumper stickers. We sang "Praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice" every...

You may have heard it set forth as the role of the deacon board: "Lord, if you'll keep him humble, we'll keep him poor."

I know this -- self publishing books is a very profitable arrangement, IF you have a solid base of readers/buyers, and Jack Hyles most definitely did. This is how he was able at Pastor's schools to tell everyone there, "You can have any two books of mine for five dollars, just raise your hand."...

BC, what years were you there?

Cindy's husband is a locksmith. I am pretty certain that early on in their marriage (which is 3-4 years long) she was a receptionist at an urgent care office. I hope she is recovering. There is no way that she could have been prepared to live the life she now lives 15 years ago. Can you...

While I did not know him so well back in the late 70s and early 80s, I liked him a lot. I thought he was much more authentic than most there. I actually exchanged a few text messages with him last month on his 79th birthday. He was always kind and encouraging. I tuned into the livestream of...

Sherry, legend has it that DH was "doing trash" as early as the early 70's. Looking back, I can't believe how terribly JH managed him. I was thinking yesterday, what if HAC had started five years later? It probably would have meant that DH would have gone to Tenn Temple like his older sister. My...

I suppose that was the rule in the late seventies, when I went -- probably no card games as well, but frankly, I don't recall ever playing any such games, not because we were too spiritual but because we didn't have the time. About the most risky conduct I did was keep my Elvis cassettes in my...

I agree that I have heard bits and pieces of what TT wrote about with regard to DH coming back to the Hammond area for awhile. I hope his facts are good. I wasn't there and like BCH, I did not know that DH had played a role in the stuff that went on in 1990.

Thank you

Toby Weaver passed away of complications from a brain tumor on Tuesday evening. I believe he was a sincere servant. Loved him.

I truly hate to hear that, I loved him.

Within the last week, I have seen where Toby Weaver and Pete Cowling have had hospital stays. While I am unsure of the nature of the treatments they have received, I wish them well. I always like Bro. Weaver, who I believe is 79 now. I really didn't know Dr. Cowling and never had a class with him.

Looks to me like you were a sincere student who was trying hard.

I just saw that you can still have one in fine condition - eBay, for $22. 😆

Yep, that's the one. I think I have one stored somewhere. You're right about the photos inside. Hyles, Auclair, Vinyard, Helton, Anderson...they are all dead now. It as a blue cover. Those days!

I have so very little of ANYTHING from fifty years ago. I guess I consider that both a blessing and a curse. I did have some letter that my mother wrote me while at HAC (back in the dark ages of letter writing :)) and would love to read them again, but they were destroyed in a flood years ago...

I did not know him as a teen, but I figured he was looked upon favorably by the establishment, giving him a faculty position which he held a half dozen years or so. It seemed afterwards, he faded into relative oblivion.
