LAKE FOREST, CA (ANS) -- Dear friends: A huge thank you to all of you who sent sent 45th wedding anniversary e-cards and messages to Norma and myself. We were deeply touched by them all!

Dan Wooding during a previous interview with K.P. Yohannan in India

I missed most of our anniversary last Sunday as I was flying back from Dallas where I was reporting on Gospel for Asia “Renewing your Passion” conference there. It was a wonderful event and I was able to interview many of the GFA leaders including K.P. Yohannan and his son, Daniel. (You can find out more about this ministry at www.gfa.org).

To make up for it, I took Norma to the Orange County Fair yesterday in Costa Mesa and then we attended a concert at the nearby Pacific Amphitheater with Sheila E, a wonderful Christian performer, and Tom Jones. When we lived in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, Tom lived nearby and his manager, Gordon Mills, would often visit the school Andrew and Peter attended to drop of his children. Engelbert Humperdinck, who was also managed by Mills, could also be seen dropping off his daughter in the Rolls Royce which had the number plate EH1.

We were sitting right at the back of the Pacific Amphitheater in the cheapest seats when a man came up to us and said he wanted to give us VIP tickets to sit close to the front. I have since been able to track down this man and thank him and discovered that he was a Christian who just wanted to do something nice for a couple at the concert.
