It was the summer of 1957. Summer school was in session at Baylor University. Dan and I (LaVern Plett) found ourselves sharing a room as well as catching up our classwork. We rapidly became friends. The days ahead found us sharing meals, athletic activities, studying and going to a movie. On several occasions we made out way to Dallas and spending the night at the Weirs.
Romance soon took part of the time and a wedding was planned. Martha
Wicker was the beautiful bride. I was asked to be part of the wedding party at the First Baptist Church in Dallas where Dr. Criswell was pastor. What a wonderful experience.
Graduation from Baylor provided a choice experience and Dan and I maintained our friendship but different vocations separated us with only occasional visits. The Weirs Furniture consumed Dan's time with Ministry of Education in local churches consumed my time.
Ultimately age began to take it toll and death separated us. However, we will have the joy of a reunion because of a common relationship in Jesus Christ. I will continue a few more years in the future but will also join the reunion. Blessings and sympathy to you Martha and the wonderful family you and Dan helped rear.
LaVern Plett,
