roy's little black book is full of entries without explanation and it does
not say when we had our vacation. On June 19th, in heavy bold lettering are
the words, "JR. HI-CAMP FLORIDA." I think this must have been the year that
he was in charge of the camp. If so we did not get to start on our trip north
until after the close of camp on June 23rd. We probably went first to Clarksburg,
for he preached for Bland there on June 25th, from the text found in Matthew
24:3. This is in his large, “Pastor’s Record Book."
For the rest of that week, and all of the next one, we either worked at the
Glen or did our usual visiting. On the 9th of July he preached for the morning
worship service, "The Greatest Work," from Proverbs 11:30.
Jim and Helen Smith stayed overnight with us at the Glen on Sunday, July
16th. We left Singers Glen on the 18th, and spent the night in Columbia,
S. Car. Night of the 19th at Howard's. Visited Marion in Titusville on the
20th; on to Bradenton the same day.
Mark Travis Brady was born November 1, 1967. This was a great day for all
of us! Howard and Grace had been married for over five years so there was
great rejoicing when that little black haired boy made his appearance.
After the union of the Evangelical United Brethren and the Methodist Churches
Troy became a member of United Methodist Board of Evangelism. The board met
in San Antonio, Texas, December 5th to the 8th, 1967, and Troy attended the
sessions. He attended another meeting of this board in Atlanta, Georgia,
from February 5th to the 8th of 1968.
