Took time out this afternoon and went to Chapel Hill. Photo below is Chapel Hill United Methodist Church on Franklin Street, just across the street from the Four Corners restaurant and right next to the campus main quad.
The occasion was the funeral of Harvey Langill Watson, Methodist minister who was the preacher at First Church in Graham when I was in High School during the mid 60's which were so difficult for our country and for the south in particular. Langill and his wife Elizabeth (who was from Iowa and a fellow midwesterner friend for my Mom) were frequent visitors at our house.
He was one of the influential ministers in my life and a strong proponent of social justice that still shapes much of my belief system yet today.
It was a good service, long with many stories --
I enjoyed being there --
Elizabeth said I looked like you know who.
Miguel?
