a few years back when mountain top went through some large leadership changes i had stepped in to help out where i could. part of what i did was network and bring people into the fold and try to get them using their gifts (sound rather methodist ministry doesn't it).
one of those people i got involved with was robert matthews. we've done the email thing off and on since then as we got a new website loaded up and launched he has since kept it updated. a few weeks ago he sorta put together some connections. he asked if was this gavin richardson kid he knew from years ago that went to mountain chapel and moved with his family to new jersey in the 80's. i thought those criteria too simple and could be just about anyone, so we went through dna testing, turns out i was that kid he remembered. we used to go camping together as families. his family was a little older than ours he is more my older brothers age and my sister is his younger sisters age. me & the little bro were our own little crew.
now he has sent me some pictures from shawn in the early 80's. he is asking what happened to his blonde hair?
i can't explain it.. just like i cannot explain where my curly hair came from
