  • PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN - Met Or Seen
    PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN - Met or Seen "HUMAN ENCOUNTERS" Updated as of April 26, 2021 by William Allen Zulker Even before I entered the ministry I began to meet some very important people who were serving Christ as preachers, teachers, missionaries, musicians and in other forms of ministry. I look back over the years and realize how fortunate I was to be influenced by them. Some I got to know very well such as Dr. Tony Campolo who was in college with me and later became a colleague when I was an administrator at Eastern and he became a professor. He also wrote the foreword to my book John Wanamaker:King of Merchants. Adkins, Paul Spenser - Opera singer. I had him present a concert at Eastern College and struck up a friendship with him. In 1981 he was the winner of the first Luciano Pavoratti International Voice Competition. He is now with the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and is a recording artist. Allen, Dr. David D., of Pleasantville, NJ, - he said he was won to Christ by my grandfather, Rev. Walter H. Ott who was the founding pastor of the Linwood Community Church, Linwood, NJ. David D. Allen became Pastor of Church of the Open Bible, Trenton, NJ and Calvary Baptist Church, Hazel Park, Michigan where he served for over thirty years. I remember so well when he visited our home and spoke at the church when I was minister at the Bethany Temple Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia.

  • Woody Paige: Conservative John Fox Brings Broncos to Their Knees
    Woody Paige: Conservative John Fox brings Broncos to their knees Woody Paige The Denver Post January 12, 2013 The cold, hard fact is the Broncos lost everything Saturday. And they blew it. They lost the overtime coin toss. They lost a cinch victory with 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter by blowing coverage. They lost the game on an intercepted pass late in the fifth quarter. They lost the playoff game early in the sixth quarter on a 47-yard field goal. They lost their chance at a ninth AFC championship game. They lost the opportunity for the franchise to win a third Super Bowl. Peyton Manning lost the prospect of playing a Super Bowl in his hometown of New Orleans and winning a second NFL championship. The Broncos lost the lead four times. They lost two interceptions and a fumble, all Manning turnovers. They lost a dozen arguments with the officials. They lost a rare home playoff game. The Broncos lost everything from the regular season in one historic postseason game. In a frozen conundrum on a Dr. Zhivago kind of day, in the chilliest and longest playoff game in Denver history, Ravens 38, Broncos 35. Rather than Holliday, Hillman and the Hallelujah High Way, it was to Hades in a Handbasket. Everybody shares the blame, but coach John Fox should get more than his share for his conservative approach. After the Ravens shocked a bitterly cold crowd with a 70-yard balloon bomb from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones, with just over half a minute to go, to tie the game for the fifth time, at 35-35, the Broncos had the ball at their 20-yard line, had two timeouts and had the quarterback who had produced more winning drives in the fourth quarter than anybody else who ever played the game.

    A UNIQUE FUNDING TRIANGLE CREATES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR URBAN BOYS AND GIRLS The Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (TAP) In our quest to improve the quality of life for Boston's youth the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston depends heavily on the generosity of others. The Frito-Lay Company is a prime exam­ ple of an advocate of the Clubs via an imaginative funding triangle thanks to the New England Patriots. Here's how it works. As the Patriots score points. Frito-Lay scores for the children of Boston, donating $100 to the Boys' and Girls Clubs for each point! This totaled $54.600 in 1980 alone! Throughout the country and. of course. in Boston. businessmen. parents. and the community at large hail this program as one of the most creative charitable donations in ex­ istence. The funds are designated for a very special purpose ...the Boys and Girls Clubs-Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (known as the Frito-Lay TAP). This education program directly serves over 1,000 children in each of three Clubhouses. Counsellors and tutors reinforce school work, stressing the importance of a well-rounded education. Like the athlete, the student is taught to work daily to improve his skills.Each youngster's individual needs deter­ mine the type of supplemental training he or she receives. Some require help in vocabulary and reading.Others lack suffi­ cient mathematic skills. Still others reap the benefits of science instruction through practical lessons at the Museum of Science. The TAP program provides a strong base for the educational and emotional development of our inner-city kids.
