Dallas, TX, to OK to St. Louis, MO

The route home includes visits to various friends. This is winter. North Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri are not as scenic as they would be with leaves on the trees. Nevertheless, we have chosen scenic routes over Interstates part of the time. They either looked like this:

Last night we were at Go Ye missionary retirement village to visit Ron and Myrna Genheimer. Ron was international director of Africa Evangelical Fellowship during our Mozambique years and Ron was a great mentor to Steve. While there we also visited Wil and Colleen Norton, old friends of my dad who took me in during my Wheaton years. They had been missionaries in Congo and later deeply involved in theological education, starting a major seminary in Jos, Nigeria, in retirement. He will celebrate his 101st birthday in February.

Will carried on a lively discussion with Steve on theological education.

Tonight we are back in St. Louis at Bob and Nan's. Tomorrow will be the ten-hour stretch home. So it has been a fun time. Less scenic than some of our trips. More people oriented. And another memory of traveling with Mom.
