The Wheelers, John and Lol-
lie, of Porterville, Calif., have
been members of the church for
over 40 years. They have just re-
tired from the furniture business.
At the end of church services
it was announced that help was
needed by the Gulfport church in
the form of manpower. The
Wheelers went home and were
discussing the need.
They came up with the conclu-
sion that “here am I send me”.
Then they called the airlines for
reservations and were on their
way. When they arrived at Gulf-
port they found destruction much
worse than they had expected.
They went to the church build-
ing and started to work sacking College. He is also on the board
