What do you like most about winter in the high country?
“The luxury of being able to sit inside by our wood stove and watch the snow float down and coat the mountains around us in white. “
What is your Favorite Candy?
“Hershey Almond Bars – actually most anything made by Hershey Chocolate Company since I grew up an hour from Hershey, PA.”
Why did you choose Rumple?
“After being retired for two years I was beginning to feel the pull to become more active in the worship and leadership – and pastoral care – of a congregation. Sarah mentioned the opportunity at Rumple, I met with Kathy and I knew immediately from her enthusiastic description of the congregation that it was the place for me to serve.”
