…for sharing this beautiful picture with me. It's looking from Dr. Lee Maxwell's grave back to the old St. John's Lutheran Church in Maryville. Lee served there as pastor for many years, and was preceded there more than a century before by none other than the great Friederich Lochner. It's also the mother parish of St. Paul's in Hamel. Sadly, the church was closed a few years after Lee's death.
Lee Maxwell taught me Greek at the Seminary. He was a tough but fair taskmaster. I was blessed to have taught by him and know him.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, he was such a great man. I miss his tremendously. Especially our lunches where we’d go out and spend a couple hours solving all the problems of the Church and the world over some french press coffee.
