July 24, 1983

On Monday July 24, 1983, we backed the big Ryder Truck out of the drive of Bill & Nellie Phoebus' home in Daniels, WV about 6 am. Nona, Alicia, Jonathan, and I in the front seat, following us in our little Ford Escort, was the late Big Bob Walker. Emotions were high as we drove down Possum Holler that morning.

Later we met the Bowling Family and Begaye Family at the last rest area in WV on I-77 and headed to Johnson City, TN there we loaded up Bob's things from his parents home at the Bible Methodist Parsonage.

We next stopped at the TN Bible Methodist Camp Ground in Knoxville, where Bro. D. P. Denton met us at the parsonage and we loaded the remainder of the rental truck with about 250 case of Campbell's soup. We arrived that evening at Harriman, TN to spend the next two nights, at the Bible Methodist Church there, with Pastor Tom Davis and his Family.
