from Louella Cherry Spencer's trip to Ashville, NC

The Billy Graham Crusade Team together again

Cliff Barrows (Age 86), Billy Graham (Age 91), George Beverly Shea (Age 101).
 
Bill and I were at the Billy Graham Conference Center at The Cove, near Ashville, NC on August 31st when Billy Graham surprised the crowd and appeared at the conference center for the first time this year.  We understand that he is unable get out very much any more.  It was history in the making to see these three together again.  All three still have sharp minds although their sight, hearing, and general physical conditions are deteriorating.  We were 2nd row center and it was inspirational to hear them talk and sing.  Bev can still belt out those songs.  Cliff played the harmonica with Buddy Greene on Tuesday night, and John Innes played the piano for most meetings.  John was the pianist at most of the crusades.  Considering what these men accomplished over the last 60 years, we felt we were with real saints.  It was an experience we will always remember.
