Glenn & Linda's 50th Anniversary

What book have you reread the most?

What do you remember your parents thinking about religion?

Dad, you organized the beer meetup at the camp when you met mom, when did you become a planner/organizer?

Who have been your mentors, and how did you find them?

Did you ever do cold call evangelizing?

Are there any physical mannerisms you remember from your parents?

What was the time you were most worried about money?

For dad, I’m interested to hear more about this AEP Bible study. How/why did you decide to start it? How did you decide what content/activity to do for it? Was it weird being the boss and having a Bible study?

What are you good at teaching, and what are you bad at teaching?

Have you ever had an opportunity to personally lead someone else to place their faith in Christ?

Do you have a favorite bible study you’ve been a part of?

What do you remember arguing or disagreeing about most often when we were kids? I feel like I rarely saw you two arguing, so I’m just curious.

How would your describe the difference between knowledge and wisdom? Are there areas of your life where you feel like you have more of one or the other?

What is the kindest thing you’ve ever done?

Dad, Tell the story about when you were audited.

Mom, Tell the story about when we were stranded in a Nebraska snowstorm.

Here’s an odd one. Have you noticed any changes related to clocks? Now pretty much all clocks (mainly phones) are synced with satellites, and everyone’s clocks say the same time.

Was the world different whenever everybody had to set their own clock based on the TV or other people’s clocks or maybe a sun dial or something?

Do you like small talk?

What were the most difficult parts of taking care of your parents as they grew older?

Are there any smells or sounds that take you back to a specific memory?

What are your favorite parables (from the bible or elsewhere)?

How have sports and sport broadcasting changed in your lifetime?

Please describe your remembrance of the moon landing in 1969.

What’s a trend in society that excites you or gives you hope?

How do you feel about having your names recognized on something you gave to. Like having a plaque with your name on a hospital you helped fund the building?

What do you think about vice? You grew up in times where drinking and gambling were more illegal in more places than they are now, does society consider more, less, or just different things as vices now?

What do you think about duty? Do individuals have a duty to society? Christians a duty to their religion? How have you thought about duty in your life?

What was it like living in the cold war period? What was it like to see it come to an end?

Did you share a room with your sibling growing up?

What are skills or hobbies you picked up after your 30s (or the journey of your hobbies through the decades)?

Dad, when did you get into modifying golf clubs?

Dad, what is the best game of golf you ever played (I figure there might be more of a story around this than the double eagle, or maybe the best is that midnight surgery championship, but I figure there are other notable games)?

When in your life were you in the best physical shape?

What’s the best deal you ever got? What’s the best ROI for anything you ever had (it might be some of those toys that have been played with by kids, and grandkids).

What does it mean to you to be American? What did it mean to your parents and to you growing up?

What are your favorite book recommendations?

In what ways are you similar and different from your sibling?

Do you have a favorite candy? I think Dad always had spice drops in his office, but I don’t know if it’s because he loves them or because he doesn’t, so he won’t eat them all.
