Address List

When I started in urban ministry, one of my biggest challenges was a Church address list which was mostly wrong -- not merely incomplete, but wrong. It was a continual stumbling block. However I soon discovered that the real address list resided in toto in the head of the secretary Mrs. Nora Sulston. In this regard she was legendary. Without fail, she could tell me (or anyone) a telephone number or address or even family background. This memory-system worked flawlessly -- until sadly, the day she suffered a stroke.
