355-9454
We interviewed some staff at Beza in the morning. Zeb, pastor of Beza Church, brought out the bible that used to be owned by Pastor Bob Schmidgall which remains on his father's (Betta) desk to this day. Included was hand-written notes inside and on the back was written the phone number: "355-9454". I remembered that immediately and Zeb told me those digits are permanently ingrained in his mind. Of course that's the home number of the Schmidgall family back in Naperville back in the day.
All this to say, "For the Lord is good, his unfailing love continues forever and his faithfulness continues to each generation." The passion and relationship that was shared by Pastor Betta and Pastor Schmidgall continues on in the new generations and that couldn't be more vivid than the partnership between Beza and NCC.

Wow - that brings a flood of emotions to see that handwriting that I know so well! That's so cool that they still have that. Say hi to Zeb & Yami for me!!
Hi Kate and Dave, I miss you two lots and am sending you big hugs and my very best wishes across the ocean and some very big mountains. I want to hear more about Pastor Schmidgall and, what seems to me, a pretty amazing connection between Pastor Betta and you two. xo Sarah
