A Reminder from Lois Anderson
We will take time to remember Lois Anderson and pray for Bill during Sunday’s service. By now, all of us have heard the story. The Post-Gazette carried a particularly effective piece in this morning’s paper (click here) Earlier I asked some of you who knew Bill and Lois well to share some of your thoughts. I received this from Audrey Sheline and offer it to you in only slightly edited form (names changed to protect the innocent!). Thanks, Audrey.
One of my memories of Lois and Bill concerns their presence in Beaver along about 1949. A young man from the church was dating Lois and had made clear to his male friends that he was going to propose to her, so hands off! Then Bill Anderson came into our lives as Assistant Pastor to Dr. Nesbitt. Oh, my, what a breath of fresh air he was. He was miles ahead of us in his Christian growth and he knew he had a future in Christian service. So he wasted no time in getting acquainted with Lois Crawford! She recognized a commonality with this person and it seemed no time 'til they were engaged, married, and off to the mission field.
