Personal Info concerning Pastor HankPastor Hank or simply Pastor is my preferred identi¿ cation. I was born in Whittier California. We moved to Kirkwood Missouri and then for about one year grew up as the only white boy in my class in Gallup, New Mexico. Th is was when I was 11 or 12 and I had a ¿ ght every day going to and leaving school. Th is was more learning how to ¿ t and live together with us kids trying to determine our way and place. I knew hard times as a kid and worked selling papers. Th ey were 7 cents and the paper boy got to keep 2 cents. Th at was about $1.50 to $2.00 a night in the cold. We were poor and often the money I made would put the food on the table. My step-father was a shoe repairman and he worked at that trade until he was 92. We, my two sisters, brother and I, went to live with my grandfather and grandmother in Kirkwood, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis after about a year of living in Gallop. For high school I attend a boarding school, St. John's Academy in Win¿ eld, Kansas. I loved sports and our family of about 20 kids in my class. Th is was a coed academy. My ¿ nal year I was the Academy Student Body President. I lettered in baseball three years and basketball one or two. Later I went to Columbia Missouri and met my wife Dianne. We got married in 1966 and had twin daughters right away. We had two more daughters. We have today four grandsons and one granddaughter. My wife is my rock and happy half. We have been married for about 56 years. Kids mean a lot to me and my chapel times with the preschoolers still are the best moments in ministry. I got my PhD in family counseling while in Palms, Michigan. Th ere was nobody doing counseling and there was a lot of need.
