A man in Spokane (Mr. Russell) had arranged for the minister from Fourth Memorial church to have his wedding. The day came and the minister didn’t. The minister sent a replacement. The man was upset, and never forgot the incident. 30 years later Carolyn had a garage sale. My mother was there helping. A neighbor came over and they introduced themselves. He said, "Underhill, are you related to a minister?" "Yes, my husband is one. "Well, I could tell you a thing or two." Mom said, "Go ahead, I’ve heard it all." "30 years ago he was supposed to marry..." and he told his story. Mom asked, "How long ago was that?" "30 years" he said. "Well, it couldn’t have been my husband. We only moved here 25 years ago." For 30 years Mr. Russell had been bitter at the wrong man!
