  1. Dear Joe:
    Assuming you are the Joe Slater who was converted to Christ in Limon, Colorado mumbly-mumbly years ago, and that George was your brother, greetings from the Black Hills of South Dakota!
    I was reminded of you when the weekly bulletin of the Cortez congregation (Cortez, Colorado – Four Corners) this week published an article with your byline. My family and I were members of that congregation years ago, and we maintain contact with them, especially since much of our work is there in the Four Corners.
    We also keep touch with both Limon and Flagler congregations – especially the Fishers and the Metcalfs. We often tell brothers and sisters about the congregation that has a bar and pool tables in their meetinghouse!
    We are, like you, getting up in years but still strong in the Lord and other ways. We are with the Southside congregation in Rapid City, SD, a growing congregation of about 40 members and an amazing 25 children! Debby and I have been married for 42 years, have two sons, two daughters by marriage, and five grandchildren from 9 down to 1. All of our children are faithful, and all teach (the sons preach now and then, as well). All things considered, we are very blessed.
    Please let me know how you and your family and the congregation there are doing. I am, of course, going to mine your website for ideas and studies and articles! Be warned!
