I first met Millard in the summer of 1954 at a Pilgrim Fellowship Conference held at Yale Divinity School. We met again in 1964 when he and Linda visited in our home in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia). When we returned to the U.S. we visited them at Koinonia Farms. Our paths continued to cross. I visited them in the Congo. In about 1977 Millard asked me to be on the Habitat Board. And so it went with our last visit about a year ago when Millard stopped by our home in New Jersey. While I had retired, Millard labored on with as much energy as always. His impact from his dedication, drive and determination on our world is somethingthat not many individuals accomplish. It has been a privilege to know Millard (and Linda) through the years and to bask in the light of his freindship.
