| Introduction | Pam and I have been deliriously happily married for 32 years. We have one daughter (a Bethany baby), Heather, who will graduate H.S. next Spring. She is a very talented writer. I studied under Ford Lewis Battles and John Gerstner at Pittsburgh Sem. and did graduate work at Duke U. with David Steinmetz & others. I pastor Reedy River PCA in the Greenville area. It is my third church. I love working with seminarians (from Greenville Seminary). I am also the world's foremost authority on David Schley Schaff (son of Philip) ... really! I am looking forward to eating heavenly spaghetti at the Supper of the Lamb because there is nothing more heavenly than pasta. |
