Oz Anderson presented Randy. Al Sherve was remembered during the banquet worship service led by Dan Leininger through a planned tribute from Jim Tonneson and comments from colleagues, including national and regional ACPE historian, John Thomas.

In middle age we starve For ascension, Look back to childhood teachers But have outgrown them.
Mature love needs new channels.
I bend tenderly Toward the young With open heart and hands. I share in a great love With my equal. Every day I learn better About how to give And how to receive love. But there is still the need To be filial toward someone, To be devoted, Humble and enlightened. I need to remain teachable For one who can teach me.
