A Fuller Tribute

As with most other folk, we have had lots of people in our lives. Many of those people have left tracks in our hearts, memories and pictures in the mind. Walt Fuller left a picture of Daybreak Camp, standing beside the old blue car with the flag painted on it. He came as representative of Pepperdine University to spend a week at camp with us as a counselor. What great times we had at camp with kids and teens. We always used teenagers as counselors in the youth camps, with an occasional token university student. Then Walt and Jenny married and came to Redwood City to live, and we saw their love and enjoyed them, Walt comfortable and Jenny purposeful. The years passed, and Kelly, Casey and Kristi grew, captivating and strong. When Simi Church of Christ sponsored us in street ministry, they were there. The last one we have seen is Kelly; she was at Pepperdine, and it was before her marriage. We are better for knowing all of them. I'd like to give a fuller tribute, but I never have the words to say the joy of the tracks left in our lives by friends.
