We arrived in
Hardin, Montana 24 1/2 years ago to be assistant pastors at Hardin Open Bible
Church. We had four children (Bre - 6; Krista - 4; Josiah - 2 and Jamin - 6
months). When we left four years later we had 1 1/2 more children (Jared - 1
1/2 and Arielle - in womb); many
priceless lessons, and treasured memories.
Dad came home
from coffee one day and told Mom he'd seen Rodale and he said his mother was in
town for the month. WE were also in town. It turned out Michael couldn't come
with us as he is gallivanting down the interstates - but today Mom and I went
to spend an afternoon reminiscing with Lorraine Lachenmeier.

Lorraine and I
worked together on a few Valentine's Banquets, she taught me how to think of
big crowds - movement and food
requirements etc. She was Grandma Lorraine to many children growing up in Hardin Open Bible. I learned much from
her. We had fun today remembering
events, people and places.....Lorraine now lives in CA and I travel in an RV -
but we met today in Springfield, OR.

Lorraine's encouragement
and friendship is one of many treasured memories from our years in Hardin.

Love this lady! She was always Grandma Lorraine to many children, including mine. She was such a wonderful teacher for the children also!

Sis: I really did enjoy our time spent with Lorraine. She was so special even to kids in my day....... She and mom were close. I always loved the way she treated mom. God Bless Her and PTL for how Christian band together etc.
