The Ing Era























































When you've lived in the Arlington Ward for 8 years, your leaving marks the end of an era. Today was the Ing's last Sunday; they are moving to Indiana this week.

A few days after Mike and Sherene moved to Boston their car was stolen. They called the only person they had a number for -- me. I gave them a ride to church and we became instant friends. They are leaving with a Ph.D., communications experience (Sherene worked a WGBH), two beautiful daughters, lots of life experience, a deep love for New England and a boatload of dear friends. The Ings have made incredible contributions to the Arlington Ward and they will be missed.

Interesting note: about 5 years ago there were 3 guys in the ward attending the Harvard Divinity School. They are all landing as professors in midwestern universities.

It's an end of an era for sure...
We are having a NE Student/Mid West professor reunion in a few weeks and we will be thinking of you!
