Billy Graham

We have been listening to TV tributes and memories of Billy Graham today.

In high school, the only out-of-town trips for Ken and I were football games.  My sister-in-law went along as chaperone for us and our friends.*

There was one exception.  In 1951 Billy Graham held a crusade at Farrington Field in Fort Worth.  I was a sophomore in high school and Ken had graduated the previous year. It was our only out of town trip alone until I was in college.

Farington Field was filled to capacity.  Billy Graham was impressive.  We had never heard a voice comparable to George Beverly Shea. The evening was awesome and inspiring.  It is one of our favorite memories.
