Gordon Beachy Promise made, Promise kept.

(World War II German Pill Box)
"A promise made is a debt unpaid" (R.S.) Gordon made a promise which he kept, so his debt has been paid. Gordon said, and I quote "I was a combat soldier in the second world war. I was an assistant on a flame thrower going across the Czaar River bristling with German pill boxes. I promised the Lord I would do anything for Him if I survived. The battle never went through and I spent another hitch in Germany and Japan. I got out and went to Bible college in 1950, where I met my wife, Carole. We went to Haiti in the Caribbean and spent 30 years there." (Missionaries) In my telephone conversation with Gordon, he told how he was jailed for 5 days when he first arrived in Haiti, no fault of his own. This is just one of the many stories Gordon has to tell. He is writing a book, hopefully we will be able to read about his experiences before long. Gordon and Carole are retired and living in Pensacola Florida. They have five children, two were born in Haiti. Gordon Jr. is serving in the military in Iraq at this time, expects to be home in November, 2006. Thanks Gordon and Carole, God Bless you and yours.

Amish School Tragedy

“Some of the earliest ideas of using plants to produce novel proteins came from plant virologists,” says Roger Beachy, PhD, president of The Donald Danforth Plant Center, St. Louis. Those earlier scientists looked at the possibility of using plant viruses to carry new genetic information into a host plant, the result of which was temporary production of novel proteins. This type of transient expression of a foreign protein represented the beginning of plant biotechnology. Complete story click.

Fishing the Platte River

Larry Beachy along with his son Mike and grandson Trent went for a fishing trip on the Platte River. Larry must have taken the pictures as he is not in any of them.
Beautiful river, beautiful fish! Mike caught his fish on a #23 hooks that he had tied various patterns of larva on. Real fishermen tie their own flies? Larry sent a number of pictures and it was hard to decide which ones to post, they were all so good. Thanks Larry!
