Sitting beneath the tall pine
trees, reading, relaxing or listening
to inspired messages in the pavil-
ion—it was good to be there.
The refreshing rain, the cool
breezes, the health lectures, ses-
sions in the Prayer Chapel, the
special music, workshops, meet-
ing new and old friends and the
delicious food combined to give us
a spiritual uplift. The hustle and
bustle of cities seemed so far away
as we enjoyed camp meeting, 1984,
at beautiful Camp Yavapines in
Prescott, Arizona.
While, for most of us, it was
‘““good”’ to be there, for Myrtle
Evans, a member of Phoenix
Paradise Valley Church, ‘‘it was
heavenly!” One of the guest
speakers, Arthur L. Lickey,
Director, Religious Liberty and
Affairs,
Public North Pacific
Union Conference, and his lovely
wife, Geraldine Rose Lickey, grew
up in Myrtle’s home church in
Kansas City, Missouri.
Surprise Reunion
“Ger1”’ was one of the young
girls in the first Sabbath School
class that Myrtle ever taught.
There were hugs, tears of joy and
a happy flow of memories. Myrtle
had not seen either of them for ap-
proximately forty years.
Grandma Evans, as Myrtle is
affectionately called now, related
how she became an Adventist. She
and her husband were on their
honeymoon in a small town in
Missouri when she heard about
the evangelistic meetings being
held there. She attended, joined
and returned to Kansas City to
become an active member of the
Central Church.

Health Vans Operate in Oakland During Summer
A special health van provided
many Spanish migrant workers
with blood-pressure checks, as
well as Bible studies, this summer.
Several baptisms are forthcoming
as a result of this program,
spearheaded by Remberto Vela, a
student from Montemorelos Col-
lege.
In the Oakland area, a health
van was available for five days
each week. Its purpose: screening
individuals for hypertension.
Leading out in this program were
three students: William Davis,
Venezuela Adventist College;
Rocio Mojica, Weimar College;
and William Felder III, Oakwood
College. Mary Brown, of the
Oakland Market Street Church,
working in conjunction with the
Alameda East Oakland Medical
Center, offered further assistance
to those whose screening revealed
particular problems.
Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Rhoades
began this year doing double duty
in providing health screening at
the Pacific Union College and
Redwood Camp Meetings, along
with the visitation of many of the
cities in the northeast area. Mrs.
Rhoades reports that more than
4,000 have already been screened
for hypertension in 1984.
PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / OCTOBER 1, 1984
Long-time Friends Have Surprise Reunion at Camp Meeting
For Myrtle, becoming an active
member meant teaching a young
girls’ Sabbath School class, being
JMV leader, giving Bible studies
and serving wherever she was
needed.
Myrtle recalled how precious
each little girl was to her and how
much she studied the Sabbath
School lessons, hoping to make
them interesting. She always
wanted to tell them something
that would show God’s great love
for each of them.
Both ladies expressed their
delight and surprise many times at
seeing the other at camp meeting,
after so many years.
‘““Heaven, I’m sure,’’ said Myr-
tle, ‘‘will be just like this. We will
be seeing friends again whom we
haven’t seen for many years.’’
Myrtle Evans had a happy reunion
at the 1984 Arizona Camp Meeting.
Mrs. Lickey was a student in the
first Sabbath School Mrs. Evans
taught after becoming an Advent.

in South Korean Cities
In July, Dr. Whie Oh, car-
diologist in the Upper Napa
Valley area, spent three weeks in
his native Korea,
accompanying
Glen Coon on a
tour of the four
largest cities in
that country. For
20 days, Dr. Oh
opened after-
noon and even-
ing meetings with
a one-hour lecture on health.
In Seoul, host city for the 1988
Summer Olympics, 500 people
came to the afternoon meeting.
That same evening, 1,000 more at-
tended.
Before and after the meetings,
Dr. Oh opened a medical clinic.
He brought along two garbage
bags of free medicine for this pur-
pose.
The Korean Broadcasting Sys-
tem sent television crews to the
lectures and clinics and devoted
one-third of their evening news to
the event.

Thunderbird Adventist Academy Committed
to Principles of Christian Education
Thunderbird Adventist Acad-
emy is a great school in a grand
state with wonderful opportuni-
ties. And it’s not too late to
enroll!
The academy is committed to
the Seventh-day Adventist philos-
ophy of Christian education: the
development of the head, the heart
and the hand, thus training for
both this life and the life to come.
Here the students are challenged
in academics, and are given the
opportunity to develop socially,
making friends with other young
people in a Christian environ-
ment. A real plus is having caring
Christian classroom teachers and
supervisory staff. The teachers are
certified professionals, dedicated
to sharing knowledge in their sub-
ject areas. But beyond this, and
most importantly, they share in
meaningful ways a knowledge of
Christ.
At TAA, you can select from a
great variety of subjects, from
computer science to flight, along
with the core curriculum, thus
receiving training of the whole
person.
Spacious lawns, trees and
shrubs on the campus emphasize
the importance of esthetics in
education. The buildings are
relatively new and well main-
tained—a place one can be rightly
proud of.
This year a Driver Education
course will be taught on campus
by a qualified classroom and
behind-the-wheel teacher. A new
shop class, Home and Auto Care,
has also been added.
Thunderbird Academy offers
excellent work opportunities to
assist in defraying expenses, and
to help the student accept respon-
sibilities.
Where better could you plan to
spend a winter than in ‘‘the Valley
of the Sun’’?

tion now: Thunderbird Adventist

Hawaii Station Airs VOP Daily to South Pacific
Japan, Australia, New Zealand,
the Philippines, and islands of the
South Pacific now can hear the
English-language Voice of Proph-
ecy daily broadcast over 50,000-
watt station KAIM in Honolulu.
The VOP recently bought two
15-minute time periods, Monday
through Friday, on KAIM—at
3:30 p.m. and at 1:00 a.m.
The broadcast at 1:00 a.m.
takes advantage of the skywave, a
natural phenomenon that allows a
high-powered station to reach
great distances. In addition, radio
signals generally travel very well
over water, so most of the South
Pacific can hear KAIM at night.
The station reports it receives
more mail from Japan than any
other location outside Hawaii, but
listeners also write from Samoa,
Australia, New Zealand, New
Guinea, and the Solomon, Mar-
iana, Carolina, New Hebrides,
Gilbert, and Marshall Islands.
conference Office Changes Announced
Some staff reassignments have
been made by the Conference Ex-
ecutive Committee, following the
return of Melvin Heinrich to the
Mainland and the appointment of

Robert Frost has been asked to
assume the duties of conference
secretary in addition to his
treasury responsibilities.
Departmental leadership has
been distributed amongst four
others. President Shigenobu
Arakaki will head Sabbath School
ministries; Richard Among, per-
sonal ministries; and Joyce
Villegas, Child Evangelism. Terry
White, Castle Medical Center’s
new president, will also serve as
Conference health director.
Search is being made for an ex-
perienced but retired conference
treasurer who would assist Mr.
Frost.
