Thursday’s guest lecturer, Reverend Paul Huddle, transfixed his audience with sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious, and always colorful tales of his work as a Lutheran missionary on four different continents and many, many different countries. He regaled us with his extensive time in Japan and the study of the Japanese language, the story of the birth of his son (now a chemistry professor at Roanoke College, no less!) on a mountaintop in India, and the great demand of several European countries for a Lutheran service in the ENGLISH language… for which Rev. Huddle was their man. Provided with excellent box lunches from the lovely rescue mission restaurant, 2nd Helpings, our guests had their days considerably brightened with good food and good company — keep your eyes open for any upcoming guest lecturers at the History Museum of Western Virginia!
