Imogene has taught Sunday School classes for kids in second grade through a teenage girls’ class, VBS and a ladies’ class for many years.  She also taught at Sierra Bible Camp for fifteen wonderful years. Imogene started volunteering as a Pink Lady at Rideout Hospital about 37 years ago, and has held many chairmanships and served as president of the group.  I am still very active, having earned my “10,000 hours” pin.Hugh and Imogene love to travel and have been to many places in the world.  She also loves to garden, walk, and read when she has time. She comes from a long heritage of church of Christ, and was baptized when she was twelve. She knows the the Lord has blessed her much.

Hugh and Imogene have the gift of hospitality and have had many guests into their home over the years.  Some have stayed overnight, and three youth ministers stayed for the summer.  They feel blessed by all of them.

They know that God has been good, and He is always faithful.
