He held pastorates in several churches in Iowa and Kansas. In addition, he served as Director of Camps and Conferences for American Baptist Churches of Nebraska. Since his retirement, he has served as interim pastor in five different churches in the area. He comes highly recommended by our State executive ministers as well as from church members who have worked with him. Bob and his wife, Fayetta, have been married for 57 years and are the parents of one son (deceased) and three married daughters. They enjoy spending time with their six grandchildren, genealogy and RV camping. Bob indicates that his hobbies include a little golf (emphasis on little), rebuilding a 1967 Honda 305 Dream motorcycle and reading. Bob is scheduled to be at the church on Sundays and on Tuesday thru Thursday of each week - and at other times as needed. He and Fayetta plan, at least initially, to commute from their home in Elkhorn, NE.
