Seventy Years Ago by bkbinthecity

Seventy Years Ago

My siblings and l were doing the final clean up on our parents house before the new owner takes possession on Monday.
I came across this picture taken in April 1954. It was the Graduation Dinner of the Canadian Northwest Bible Institute.
I was quite excited to find it as this is the same school that Melody and l attended from 1989-1993. By that time the name had changed to Northwest Bible College. It is also interesting because my Dad, who would have been a guest, is in the very back row of the picture. This was about 3 years before he met my Mom
What a wonderful find and great memories.
