I married Bobbie Richards in Birmingham, AL, and we've been married since 1956.

Our children are Karen and Kristi.

In my leisure time, I spend time with our grandchildren, and enjoy woodworking, gardening, reading, and travel.

I'm an Atlanta import, and moved here to assume a position with the Georgia Baptist Convention.  I've been in Georgia since 1967, and have lived in Atlanta since 1987.  If I were to move from Atlanta, I would relocate nearer to children and grandchildren.

I accepted Christ in 1946 in York, AL.
