“ I first  met Marshall on one of his Christian tours of the East Coast. My  “home schooled” family of five had a most enjoyable experience  getting to know him and when the tour was over, a wonderful relationship developed with Marshall and his whole family. He was a regular  visitor in our home for years and baptized my younger daughter in a neighbors swimming pool when she was five”.

Robert  is a committed Christian and  Patriot and has followed Jesus since he was 38 years old.  He is also the proud grandpa of nine grandchildren and is recently married to the lovely Mrs. Karen Wright.
