Dear friends, Might the country be finally nearing an end to this “Great Hunkering Down” we have endured for so many weeks? It looks like it. And, like all of you, we are itching to return to some kind of normalcy in our lives, our work, and in the national economy. But, of course, even “normal times” are chock full of trials, disappointments, spiritual challenges, and emotional ups and downs. So we must always be careful to keep holding on to the gracious God Whose love, wisdom, power, and mercy never changes, never fails, never goes into quarantine. Indeed, if the tests Americans have faced these past weeks sober us up a bit and produce a greater, more consistent dependence on Him, that will be an important blessing. But since the quarantines are not lifted just yet and we are still unable to come present our “When Swing Was King” shows, we are going to continue to try and give you something to remember us by AND to give you a little something to help pass the time. So, this time around, we have 30 Multiple Choice questions, 20 Matching questions, a few quotations about patience and hope, 10 Fill in the Blank questions, 10 Finish the Line questions, and the answers to them all. Hoping and praying we see you soon with photos and tunes from the big band era… Denny & Claire Hartford 1 Multiple Choice Questions 1) Which of these Presidential faces is 6) In what west Texas town did Marty NOT on Mount Rushmore?
