Thanks David, for the information. I can remember so
many things about those days at that 10 day a year
camp meeting. It meant so much to me that I got to be
a part of what my grandparents, Sarah and Tom
Stephens, participated in years before. I also got to
see baptisms in the creek before they put in a
baptistery in the tabernacle. I have pictures that I
look at quite often of the camp meeting just to
remember. Thanks again.
