Hail to the Conquering Hero
One of my former student's Dad was a former U of M quarterback and a good friend to Bo (Tom Slade). He died last Sunday of leukemia. His funeral was at St. Paul on Thursday and although I didn't go to the funeral, I heard that Bo was there. He, along, with many other people heard a sermon on the theme "Hail to the Conquering Hero" with the idea that we are more than conquerors through Jesus. The next morning Bo died. I don't know about Bo's faith, but I'm very thankful that he got to hear the message of the real Hero!
Last night I also heard Bo's good friend, Don Shane, tell the story of how Bo came up from Florida and sat by Tom Slade's bedside for five hours waiting for him to wake up. He was quite a guy!
Go Blue! Win one for the Bo!

I heard about Tom Slade during my five hour trip to Traverse City, they didn't mention however that he was buried from St. Paul's. Your slant on the story really gives hope.
You're in Traverse City? I can't keep up with your comings and goings! What's the occasion this time?
It was a last minute Renton Women's Retreat. One of our teacher's has a place on the West Bay Shore.
