Elbert (Audie) Derryberry:  

Life My name is Elbert Audie Deryyberry III, but those of you who knew me at Warren High knew me as Audie. All of you need to go online and look up Family Radio. Thanks to all of you for your friendship and interest in me with: 331 profile visits, 94 questbook visits and 30 emails. I pastored a local church in Downey, called the Downey Bible Church, for about 20 years. I have been married for 45 years, this March 6, 2011.
