How Many??



The true # never came out. No one even asked. I have no idea how old he really is! Do you?
We celebrated the birthday of William Earle McDonough on February 17th of this past week. It was a surprise to him, or at least he acted surprised, as a dozen or so of his Cambodian co-workers in the Lord celebrated with him. Marie-Claire planned the whole thing and was fairly sneaky. A grand time was had by all as we ate cake and told old stories.
He received several congratulatory cards along with a pair of HoChiMinh sandals. He received several DVDs and a customized copy of old songs by Jimmie Rogers, Gene Autrey, and Hank Williams Sr. type singers. The most special one of all, it made him quite emotional, was given by the employees of Partners In Progress in Cambodia. They gave him a finely carved bust of an ancient Khmer king and a card signed by each one with a heartfelt note of appreciation.
Everyone here appreciates Bill McDonough. His leadership had brought all of us to Cambodia to seek and save the lost. He is a true Christian leader in every sense of the word.
As you can see, the cake said 39 on it. He’s at least 50!
