Alan was cleaning out the garage today (again and still) and was rummaging through one of the many boxes of printed matter he packed up when we moved 7 years ago. He found something very interesting, at least I think so.
He found a schedule for Grace Bible Institute, Carl Drexler, Dean of the school, for the school year 1990-1991.
The school held it's classes on Monday and Tuesday evenings, from 7-9:30, where students would receive "a three-year course based on the original plan of the Bible School Movement in America. This could was designed especially for busy working people who desired further training for Christian service."
There was no tuition fee. The school was supposed by free-will offerings.
The teachers that year in addition to my father were Herbert Graves, Dr. William King, Paul Mitchell, and Charles Dawson. I wrote a comment about Charlie Dawson in a previous BLOG.
Courses taught that year were: Bible Doctrine (the Church, the Scriptures, Last things); Church History; Bible Synthesis (Nehemiah to Isaiah, Mark, 2 Cor. to 1 Thes., Jeremiah to Obadiah). Bible Introduction (Synthetic and Analytic; Explanatory and Comparative, Typical and Topical), Bible Analysis (Genesis and John); and Personal Evangelism (False Hopes, The procrastinator, The deluded, Special counsel).
Thought you'd want to know these things.

That's so cool! I knew Gramps was a teacher at a college around there, but I didn't know the specifics about it and I definitely didn't know he was a dean. I always knew Gramps was a cool guy! :-)
