Campus Ministry

By Susan Mospens

Sharing some UDCAG memories from 1976 and 1977:

• The house and the barn…the women slept in the second floor of the house and guys were in the barn
• A tree trunk used to help support the ceiling in the dining room
• Hauling water in milk jugs into the house after filling them each day in town
• The outhouse log
• The front porch swing and the front steps…a place to rest, play music, and share
• Watching a black snake eat a toad on the front lawn
• Lowering Junior down the well on a rope to retrieve the lost buckets at the bottom of the well.
• Planting a garden on the slopes in back
• Using water from the spring to shower
• The outdoor shower and showers outside when it rained
• The coal stove that kept us warm on those cold weekend visits in the winter
• Trips to the ridge in the evening to reflect, watch the stars
• The twins Jimmy and James who brought a June bug tied to a string to camp – like a dog on a leash
• The 4th of July square dance 

Magoffin County Families we visited:

• The Blantons
• The Shepherds
• The Gambles
• Edna Fletcher – who lived in an old school bus
