I have been a member of CCC (formerly Lonsdale Christian Church) since I was 3 months old--73 years. My father and mother moved here from Indiana at that time when he became the minister. He was the minister for 30 years. I am married to Debbie Black and have three children--Leigh Ann Dyer, David Black and Beth Xue. I have five grandchildren--Reagan Lawrence, Grace Dyer, John Allen Black, Xander Xue and Max Xue. I graduated from UT with a BS Degree in Education and taught at 3 schools in Knox County, the last and longest being at West High School. I am retired now and enjoy gardening and fishing in my spare time!
