As Program Director at Laurelville, beginning in 1995, I was grateful for the history of the camp/retreat center Harold published. It helped orient me to the Church Center, even though I had often visited it in its early days when my father, Roy, was often Camp Pastor and weekly Director. I also recall seeing him about campus when I was a frosh at EMC in 1961-62.

I grew up next door to Harold. He was Uncle Daniels oldest, 6 years ahead of me, one of the “big boys” of Park View. Memories would fill a book. One of them would be the way he served a tennis ball. I tried my best to imitate his style with little success.
We shared the same building here at VMRC for many years. I miss him.

I appreciated reading about Harold. I remember him well. I’m 94 years old and am living at a retirement village I Chambersburg, PA called Providence Place. I graduated from EMC with the class of 1965.

We at Laurelville Mennonite Church Center are grateful for Harold and Ruth Lehman’s contributions to our ministry. One legacy that lives on and is enjoyed by many is a book they wrote for us called, “Where There Is Vision, the Laurelville Story 1943-1993.” We celebrated 75 years this past year and remain thankful for their decades of fine contributions here. Prayers to your family.
