responsibilities of that office,
quickly and efficiently working

The third person to leave was

and enter into full-time respon-
sibility in the local community.
To take her place, Marla
Downs has joined the ABC. She
is not a newcomer to the Pacific
Union Conference, having at-
tended I.odi Academy and La
