A TFC Banquet

near Northumberland, Pennsylvania

Saturday, May 14

 

~~~

It was a good thing that Chaplain Jake and Jane Wise were here right on time.

Jake offered to drive – using the conversion van they recently purchased for a trip to the west coast this summer. We loaded our things into the van and were soon on our way.

We were probably about half an hour into our two-and-a-half-hour drive (on the Pennsylvania turnpike) when we heard an awful noise in the area of the left back wheel.

This is what we discovered.

 

 

The tread had come off the tire.

 

 

So began the process of changing the tire.

 

 

Shortly after getting the van, Jake checked to make sure he could remove the spare tire and that it was in good shape. It was a good thing, because we needed it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The change went well and we were soon on our way.

 

 

Even with taking time to change a tire, we were still the first to arrive at Ric-Mar Restaurant – with plenty of time to set up.

 

 

Cerwin, Jake, Jane, and Nancy Goss (wife of Don Goss – the contact person for the Susquehanna Chapter) watch the Truck Rally pictures from 2010.

 

 

Enjoying the delicious meal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My choice of pie – lemon crumb.

 

 

Jake shared some experiences from the chapel at Frystown, Pennsylvania, and his ministry at a truck terminal and truck driving school.

 

 

Gina Robatin is a local, southern gospel singer with a fabulous voice, so it was an honor to have her at this banquet.

 

 

 

 

Cerwin closed the evening with a TFC ministry update – using PowerPoint photos and slides.

We are blessed to know these faithful prayer warriors and supporters.
