Heh, my wife and I transferred churchs two years ago for variuos reasons. Right after we joined I heard a voice welcoming us. I turn around and it's Nate and his wife. The man finally retired from East Penn the other year and is enjoying his life of leisure. Last I heard he was visiting his daughter (in law?) and new baby as the husband is stationed overseas.
