Stopped to see Carol and Jon along the way - delightful meal with and prepared by Olivia and Megan

This was the mushroom dish with squash risotto                                                          Late insert, my nephew Scott, Brody, Blake and Julie

Shortly after arriving in South Carolina, I hit the worst rainstorm I've ever driven in.  I could barely see in front of me, the wipers couldn't keep up with the rain.  I arrived in my hotel room very grateful to have made it.  

This is Zion Lutheran Church, Lexington, SC where I did my Internship - 34 years ago.  Went to service there on Sunday with a few folks remembering me.

The interior of the church building that is 100 years old - this year      This is the house that I lived in during my final seminary year
The church was founded in 1745                                                                                My apartment included two rooms in front and one in back
One of South Carolina's oldest churches

One of my employers in South Carolina was the Department of Corrections.  I developed the Hospice and Palliative Care and Hospice program there in 7 institutions - my office was behind bars in Kirkland (below)

Two of my colleagues in the South Carolina Department of Correction - Rev. Dr. Robert Scotland and Imam Omar Shaheed - dinner and lunch with each of them - lunch at Lizard's Thicket with fried okra and mac & cheese

I served Mt. Hebron Lutheran (left) as an Interim for a year while working in corrections and Baptist Hospital (right) is where I did my CPE Residency.

Frank "Sparky" and JoAn Douglass - Sparky was a CPE Residency classmate of mine at Baptist - we had a delightful dinner together and sharing of stories and jogging memories
