See if you can match the memory with the person who was a member of HPC.

​

  1. This retired minister is a "HAM“ Amateur Radio Operator.

  2. A young man who was an Airman stationed at Lackland AFB. He married "one of our girls", became a popular Elder, and his son is a Presbyterian minister.

  4. This charming lady's ghost is often seen in the halls and sanctuary of HPC.

  5. He was our first minister to wear a clergy collar and robe for worship.

  6. A retired Christian Educator who, as a teenager, served on the committee which chose the architect and the building plans for HPC. She served as DCE at churches in Charlotte, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta, and was a professor at Presbyterian School of Christian Education at Union Seminary in Richmond, Virginia.

  7. This man had been a professional baseball player, and he coached the HPC baseball team from his wheelchair.

  8. Who owned the barbershop at the corner of Pyron and South Flores and cut the hair of 4 generations of Harlandale men and boys?

  9. The lady was in charge of makeup and costumes for the Christmas pageant. When a Wiseman was late, she put on a beard, sideburns and a Wiseman costume and joined the other Wisemen at the manger scene – to the shock and delight of her two daughters who were "angels" that night.
