We were 3rd in 1956, quizzing on Romans. In 1957 (first year the electric

runners-up (by 15 points) in 1968, quizzing on Genesis.
- What was your favorite scripture? Why?
At this distance in time, I can't recall a favorite.
- How did quizzing affect you as a teen?
Quizing gave a focus to our summer, and helped develop concentration and
dedication, spurred on by the challenge of competition.
- What difference has quizzing made in your life to this day?
It has given me a high regard for scripture and its importance, as well as
an understanding of the value of memorization so that the Word is close at
hand.
- Are you presently involved in Bible quizzing in any way or have you
since you were a quizzer? If so, how?
A couple of our kids participated when they were in FMY.
- What ministries are you currently doing? How are you presently active

I've taught at Greenville College for 38 years and am active in our local FM
church.
