Memorials, if desired, should be sent to the North American Mission Board, P.O. Box 116543, Atlanta, GA 30368; note “AAEO” in memo line so these gifts will help establish churches in very small towns such as Bar Nunn, Wyoming where they have no church.

Cason Monk-Metcalf is in charge of arrangements.
