“Uncle” Cliff and my Daddy came to SC from California to attend college and go into full-time ministry. Cliff transformed my life in many ways. He gave me a collection on Christian LPs when I was a young teen and got my first record player. In an era when it was a “sin” to dance or to go to movies or join a sorority I was a social outcast and Cliff asked, if he could get me into a Christian boarding school (Hampden DuBose Academy), would I like to attend. I did and the experience changed my relationship with the Lord and my relationships on earth for my life. He was loving, attentive, nurturing. He will be missed. My love to Bonnie, Betty Ruth, Bob, and Buddy.
