Sing-along

This is Gloria Simmons (above). She proudly tells me that she is the longest attending member of our church (and the oldest), though she won't tell me her age: "If I tell you my age I'll have to act my age," she says. Gloria and her "younger" brother Dick Bettison recently retired from their 20-plus years jail ministry, which is the premise of the story I am working on for the Ludington Daily News.

Because they already retired from the jail ministry, I still needed to get a picture. Every other week, they play for the patients at Tendercare Nursing Home. Though Dick was unable to attend, I took some pictures of Gloria. It was too good of a moment to not shoot some additional pictures of the sing-along itself and share the pictures in an upcoming paper. 

Here are some of the pictures from the sing-along.
