Many years ago our former church merged with another church as neighborhood members moved away. As active young people it was evident that this might be our last time together. And so it was for awhile. Since then, we have celebrated our friendships with a yearly reunion luncheon and as recording secretary, it is my duty to write the invitational letter—which causes me grief for lack of subject matter.

Well, along comes Clay Aiken—what a subject! Last year my subject was the Tsunami Indonesia visit by Clay and the year before that his MOAM, The Way, gave me the message that was needed. And, I just know that next year the Juke Box Tour should appeal to many of my friends. So thanks to you, Clay, you’re really an inspiration to me!
