Derek (his nickname in those days was “Foo Manchee”!) and I grew up together as part of a great bunch of young people attached to the Central Baptist Church in Worthing, in those far off days a church of some 600 members! Derek would never be seen without his camera (he was our photographer for our wedding in 1952) and I was his best man for his first wedding and endeavoured to walk with him during the sadness of that failing. Most of the young people of that era went on to serve God in various ways, and I myself have had the amazing privilege of being a Baptist pastor for more years than I care to remember. We will indeed be re-united in that day when “we shall see the Lord” in all His glory.
