Charles (Gene)'s Story
I was unsure of my calling in life so I started at Marshall University in the fall of 1965 after our graduation from High School. After that year I moved to Appalachian Bible College because I felt the need to learn more about the Bible and to strengthen my Christian faith. While there I met my future wife and became engaged to Miss Laurel Laborde from Luthersburg, Pa.. We married in the summer of 1969.
While there I felt lead to prepare for teaching in Christian day schools so I moved on to Bryan College in the fall of 1969. I majored in biology education and completed my degree in the spring of 1972. My oldest son Ben was born in Dayton, Tenn. just before we moved.
I taught school that fall in the Tidewater area of Virginia teaching primarily Biology and Bible but also some math.

Sensing Gods leading me back into education in the Christian ministry of the Christian High School, I took a position at Westover Christian Academy in Danville, Va. It was my privilege to serve there for 11 years before moving here to Charleston, SC at James Island Christian School for a 3 year period.
Since then for the past 11 years I have been doing maintenance work for a realty company here in Charleston and trying to be faithful to my local church wherever I can be of service.
There are 2 mottos that express the mission of the 2 primary colleges I attended that I am trying to live by:
They are from Appalachian Bible College " Because Life is for Service" and from Bryan College: "Christ Above All."
These are ideals that are worthy of all the effort one can exert and I hope to be faithful to them to the end of my time here on this earth. What we do in life echoes in eternity ---from the Gladiator
