Day 5 Fuquay-Varina, NC - Charlottesvill

305 miles

We had a leisurely departure from Linda’s house. We even stopped at a few garage sales.

We arrived at Winnie Minear’s place near Richmond at exactly 1pm as planned. We treated Winnie to Outback Steakhouse. It had been a while since Winnie had eaten there.

Winnie served over 35 years in Honduras and retired just before the CAM merger with Avant. She’s involved in her local church. We sat around the table recounting similar experiences and friends. She attended Moody in 1979.

We then drove onto Charlottesville to the Schroeder’s home. They have converted their basement to a 1 room efficiency apartment designed first weary travelers like us. Nice nice place. We feel very welcomed and loved.

We took Phil and Sylvia out for dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. In our conversation, we discovered that Phil and Glenn were on the same floor, Culbertson 18th floor, in 1973 for 1 semester. Wow. Who knew that years later we would connect?

Phil and Sylvia served many years with GMU/Avant in Italy and have now retired.

We are here til Tuesday morning.Read more
