Hall
If you’ve been on our campus for more than a day, you’ve probably
seen him. Really, you can’t miss him. His lean, tall stature and
full head of white hair make Lee Richardson stand out amidst the
crowd. You might see him walking up from the river headed for
the office. You might see him sitting alone in a corner of the
dining hall quietly observing or interacting with students and
staff. You might see him scraping plates after a banquet meal, or
washing dishes, or playing the piano and singing with Senior
Saints after dinner. For certain, if you walk down the faculty
office hallway between 8:00 and 2:00, you will see him at his desk
analyzing investment spread sheets on the computer.
Mr. Richardson earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Midwest
Christian College in Oklahoma City and a Bachelor of Divinity
from Phillips Seminary in Enid, Oklahoma. Between graduation
from Midwest and enrollment in Phillips Seminary, Lee taught
high school math. In 1954, he married Lovella Stoll whom he met
at Midwest Christian. On January 29, 2008, they celebrated their
54th wedding anniversary.
The Richardsons moved to Enid, Oklahoma, to attend graduate
school. Lovella put Lee through school working as a civilian secretary
in the Air Force for the Office of Special Investigation. Lee and
Lovella have three grown sons and a two-year-old granddaughter.

Some thought him too young to be a professor; he was twentyfive. Fifty-two years later, no one has served the College longer or
in so many capacities.
Lee is an honorable, unassuming, unpretentious, multi-talented
man skilled at learning, science, business management, investing,
and music. He is an individual and unconcerned with fashion as
evidenced by his powder blue tuxedo jacket which students have
enjoyed over decades.

One evening during Senior Saints in the Smokies, Dr. Weedman

in singing great hymns of faith from the old brown hymnbook.

the world and a few are brilliant. Lee Richardson is brilliant.”
permanent funds, the investment growth from Lee’s investment
skill is substantial.
Teaching Greek remains Lee’s favorite job. Those privileged to
take his Greek courses know the valuable contribution he made to
their ministry and to the Johnson faculty. Lee said recently, “I am
proud when hearing a student say I’ve had a positive influence on
him. I want to be known for my teaching and preaching and for
providing facilities for students. I want to be an influence that will
spread from here to wherever the students go.”
When requested, Lee changed roles for the good of the institution
on numerous occasions, at times, with great personal
disappointment. When the College needed a science and biology
teacher, he took courses at UT and began teaching science and
biology. When asked to be business
manager, he learned to keep books via Under Lee’s stewardship, the income from

disgust and replied, “If you can’t handle this stuff, you’re not
ready for the ministry.”
David and Cindy Reece recall having Lee for Greek and biology
in the late 60’s. They appreciated his genius which they thought to
be his only temperament. Since joining the faculty, they have
enjoyed numerous riotous evenings talking about
getting old. David says, “Lee is a raconteur of the
first order.”
One of Lee’s greatest and most enduring
contributions to Johnson has been behind
the scenes. Since 1970, he has served as
investment manager. Under his
stewardship, permanent scholarship funds
have grown, and the income provides over
$900,000 in scholarships annually. While generous
gifts from donors provide the initial principal for these

To say that Rachel Oblon (’05) is adventurous is an
understatement. She walks courageously where angels fear to
tread. To say that Rachel Oblon will follow God anywhere
was untested. That is, until recently. She wondered, “Do I
truly want God’s will or do I just say I do? What if His will

Rachel returned to America. She knew staying in Uganda was
an option for her. She was “ready to move to Uganda or Costa
Rica or Hungary, anywhere the simplicity of the Gospel was
priority and the problems people suffered from were more a
result of circumstance or location than self-infliction.”

Rachel is an amazing Christian young woman. To be in her
presence is to rejoice in God’s grace toward us and toward all
others. Her faith and hope are contagious. She desires to see
the will of God fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven. And God
blesses and uses her inspiringly.
Miss Oblon returned stateside just before Christmas convinced
that the trip was “absolutely everything it needed to be and
more.” She is not content with the status quo; she wants more.
Humbled that God takes the energy to teach her and show her
new things, she wants to go deeper, experience more, and be

local church while considering
ministry options and deciding how
and where to best fulfill her calling.

A Communion Prayer
†
Our Father in heaven,
We come to you just now as one in heart and mind,
created in your image, deformed by our sin, restored by your Son,
and knowing that through it all, you have desired to commune with us.
We offer ourselves as eager communicants,
remembering that Jesus, who died to mend our relationship with you,
said to his disciples—and to us through them,
“I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you.”
We come to you, Father, as a people who want to serve you,
knowing that you hold the whole world in your hands,
and that there’s no safer place than under your will.
With the help of your Spirit, we offer you our bodies as living sacrifices,
remembering that Jesus, who set aside the privileges of deity to become a man,
said to his disciples—and to us through them,
“This is my body given for you.”
We come to you, Father, as undeserving sinners,
knowing that we have all made our own mistakes in our own ways,
but that the solution is always the same—your forgiveness.
We offer you our repentance, and our gratitude that we are no longer under the law,
but under your grace.
We remember that Jesus is our mediator in the covenant of grace,
and that he said to his disciples—and to us through them:
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”
And we come to you, Father, knowing that we have a tendency to forget, to be caught up in the world itself,
and to take you, the creator and sustainer of the world, for granted.
We offer you this moment, as we reflect upon your goodness and power and mercy and grace,
and on the suffering and crucifixion and resurrection of your Son,
remembering that he himself, on the night he was betrayed,
took bread and wine and said to his disciples—and to us through them,
“Do this in remembrance of me.”
As we share these symbols of the bread and wine that Jesus shared with his disciples,
we offer you our prayers in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Praise, Honour, & Glory Lead All-Campus
Observance of Black History Month
Praise, Honour, and Glory reaches out to all who will hear the Word
of God through a ministry of word and music, presenting concerts
to churches, schools, and charities. Their goal is to glorify God in
musical praise, to witness to the truth of the gospel of Jesus, and
to share the all-encompassing love of Christ. Praise, Honour, and
Glory first performed in Calhoun, Georgia, in August 1993. The
group has supported Knoxville and surrounding communities
by involvement with Habitat for Humanity, The Soup Kitchen,
Angel Tree, International 4H, Children’s Defense Fund, The

Soccer Coach Joins Development Staff
Ken Underwood’s background is perfect for
his new role as director of church and donor
relations for Johnson Bible College. As soccer
coach, Underwood led the Johnson Bible
College men’s soccer team to its first ever
NCCAA Regional Championship and a
seventh place finish in the 2007 national

Church Relations
competition. Coach Underwood played
competitively during high school and college.
Since graduating from King College, he has served the Competitive
Youth for Tennessee Soccer Association as a local club president,
tournament director, director of coaching, and for the last nine
years as vice president. Ken has coached youth players for over ten
years, holds a “C” coaching license from the United States Soccer
Federation, and is a USSF referee. Underwood loves soccer.
Underwood also loves the church. He began as a deacon and then
served as elder with Central Christian Church in Bristol, Tennessee,
for nearly twenty years. Additionally, he served as Sunday school
teacher for youth and adults, Sunday school superintendent, youth
sponsor, mission committee member and chair, and was on youth
committees and search committees. Today, Ken serves as elder with
the Christian Church of Loudon County in Lenoir City, Tennessee.
Similarly, Underwood loves JBC. Nearly two years prior to joining
the JBC development staff, Ken expressed his desire to one day
serve on the JBC staff. Before this career change, Ken was in sales,
sales management, general management, small business owner,
manufacturing, printing, advertising, and consulting/training.
Underwood’s church and career experiences make him uniquely
qualified to represent the College to churches.
Ken is married to Libby (Lilley) Underwood from Bristol, Tennessee.
Ken and Libby have two daughters and one granddaughter. To
arrange for a visit to your church, contact Ken by phone (865)

Thomas R. Cash Awarded Eubanks Fellowship
Recently, Dr. Richard Beam, Vice President for Academics,
announced to the faculty that Thomas R. Cash would arrive on
campus March 24 as the second Eubanks Fellow. In February of
2008, Tom began his seventh year as senior minister with Liberty
Christian Church in Martinsville, Indiana. Before going to Liberty,
Tom served in single staff ministries in Kentucky, Illinois, Alaska,
and Indiana. His work in Alaska was mission oriented.
The members of Liberty Christian Church have dealt with a number
of challenges in the last six years. As they faced each difficulty, Tom
sensed an increasing ability to stay in the trenches. According to
him, “throwing in the towel was a luxury; I could always start over
somewhere else. The congregation could not.”
Bob Russell, retired minister of Southeast Christian Church in
Louisville, Kentucky, and Shawn McMullen, editor of Lookout,
both commended Tom for not walking away. Bob said, “Can you
imagine if this had happened to a younger man? He not only would
have left the church, he would have left the ministry.”
The elders at Liberty understand the toll the last few years have
taken. In 2007, they awarded Tom a four-week sabbatical to
acknowledge the thirtieth anniversary of his ordination and his
fifth year of service with them. Some elders considered rest the
priority for Tom’s entire sabbatical. Tom had personal growth and
sharing in mind and presented a proposal for the Eubanks
Fellowship.
Tom’s experience and
insight could encourage

and youth ministers. He

Fellowship as a time to
share with the students,
relax, unwind, and catch
his breath in the beauty of
East Tennessee. Tom’s
wife Coleeta works as a
school secretary. She will be with him on campus during the first
week of his five-week fellowship.
Tom came to Johnson as a student in the fall of 1974, where he met
Coleeta. They married in 1976, and at the end of his junior year
moved to a located ministry in Kentucky. After raising two children,
he returned to his collegiate studies and graduated with the JBC
class of 2000. He is a past vice president of the Alumni Association
and currently serves on the Council of Seventy, chairing the Student
Relations Committee.
Join us in praying that Tom will experience a respite and revival
that will overflow onto the Johnson community, his family, and the
Martinsville congregation.

Who would have thought that long-term prisoners would collect an
offering and send some to Johnson Bible College? That’s exactly what
happened–not once, but twice. Allen Buzard, honorary alumnus ’73,
ministers to convicts in four Indiana prisons and one jail. Mr. Buzard,
now eighty-nine years old, wrote, “I speak of Johnson frequently
wherever I speak. I never ask for money. ...I was stunned and thrilled
when receiving checks from the Trust Fund of Wabash Valley
Correctional Facility. It’s an offering for Johnson from the inmates at
South Prison.”

even beyond their
ability. Entirely on their
own, they urgently
pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.
And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to
the Lord and then to us in keeping with His will.”
About 100 prisoners attend church services led by Mr. Buzard, most
of them active Christians. Many were baptized by Mr. Buzard.
Perhaps these gifts are similar to the Macedonian gifts in 2 Corinthians
We are inspired by Mr. Buzard’s long and faithful ministry and
witness to prisoners, and we are grateful for his loyal testimony on our
behalf.

Class of 1958 Inducted into the
Golden Anniversary Club
April 22-24, 2008
The Class of 1958 is cordially invited to return to campus, along
with all classes graduating before them for a very special 3-day
reunion. To clarify, the Class of 1958 is comprised of all alumni
who began as freshman in the fall of 1954, even if Dr. R. M. Bell
didn’t sign a diploma for you.
Returning in April provides a marvelous opportunity to reunite
with classmates, reminisce about the good ole days on The Hill,
and refresh your spirit. There are stories that need telling and
your version is correct.
To share in this celebration, you must place a reservation.
Contact Kim Linton c/o Johnson Bible College, 7900 Johnson
Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee 37998 or [email protected].
* Meal Costs: breakfast $5.00, lunch $7.00, dinner $9.00, and
the banquet is $12.00, payable at registration or to the food
service cashier during each meal time.

our extended Johnson Family to participate in the
dedication of Gally Commons. On Wednesday
afternoon just before supper, alumni, students, and
friends assembled in the colorful dining room for a
brief dedication service. Paul Coleman, alumnus and
trustee of the Donald M. and Mary H. Gally Charitable
Trust, shared personal reflections on Mr. and Mrs.
Gally. President Weedman led in a Litany of Dedication.

The pond, once a water source for
Ashley Johnson’s Holstein cows, is
transformed into a beautifully
landscaped water feature providing a
picturesque view from the dining
room.
Students and staff are enjoying Gally Commons immensely.
Natural light floods the dining area through large arched
windows which run the entire length of the dining area. “I really
like the atmosphere,” says Monica Swartzentruber, sophomore –
Lexington, Kentucky. More than a place to eat, many find
themselves lingering longer to enjoy the company of friends. It
has become so popular that students requested expanded hours
in order to meet, study, and visit in the casual surroundings.
Recognizing that construction costs are not placed on the backs of
students through increased room and board, senior student Jon
Bell from Franklin, Tennessee, says, “I’m very grateful to those
who are giving to make Gally Commons possible.”
$5,000,000
Gally Commons is one of the three elements of the
Above Every Other Desire capital campaign. While
the Donald M. and Mary H. Gally Charitable Trust is
providing significant funding for this building, the
campaign is targeting $2 million of the $5 million
goal for this new building.

Distinguished Service Awards
A Scholar’s Scholar
Dr. M. Eugene Boring, the man, is really quite remarkable, and we would all be blessed to know him.
While attending church camp on the Johnson Bible College campus at age sixteen, Gene met Karen
Chapman, who was thirteen. They became high school sweethearts and married in 1956. Gene and
Karen raised three children and are blessed with two granddaughters and two grandsons.
Eugene enrolled in JBC in 1956, earning a B.A. in Religion. That was only the beginning of a life-long
pursuit of learning. He then earned a B.D., M.A. in New Testament Semitics, and the Ph.D. in New
Testament Theology and conducted post-doctoral research from 1973 through 2002.
A student pastor, pastor, associate professor, and professor, today Dr. Boring is the I. Wylie & Elizabeth
Briscoe professor of New Testament at Texas Christian University (Emeritus since 2003). Dr. Boring’s
awards and scholarships are too numerous to mention. He travelled the world conducting research and
twice received audience with Pope John Paul II (1991 and 1996).
Administrator, Professor, Programmer
John “Jack” Maxwell Lowe is a second generation graduate of JBC and holds four degrees:
Associate in Technology, Bachelor of Arts Ministerial, Bachelor of Science in Education, and
Master of Arts in Psychology. Jack married Becky Osborn and they raised Carrie Beth and
Andy. Becky lost her battle with cancer in 2003.
Mr. Lowe joined the JBC faculty in 1966 and has faithfully served as administrator, professor,
and programmer. Jack served on over twenty evaluation teams for the Association of Biblical
Higher Education (ABHE) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
and maintained involvement in the ABHE Commission on Testing and the ABHE Computer
Commission. He served as dean of students for thirty years.
Mr. Lowe is an elder, Sunday school teacher, and supply preacher at Gap Creek Christian
Church, is highly invested in missions, and is currently serving as board member with a
mission in Colombia, South America.
Jack retired from JBC in 2006 and now serves the College as a volunteer institutional
researcher and computer programmer.
Vic and Peggy Whited
In August, Victor R. Whited and Peggy Jo (Rice) Whited celebrated fifty-six years
of marriage and fifty-six years of serving churches together. Vic was called to the
preaching ministry in church camp in 1950, received a scholarship to Johnson Bible
College, and with the help of Orville Hodge, his former minister, preached his first
sermon in 1951. Peggy Jo planned to attend university but changed her mind when
the JBC Tour Choir presented a concert at her home church.
Vic and Peggy met her first day on campus and were married one year later. The
Whiteds have three adult children and four grandsons. They have served together in
twelve churches, both while attending college and following graduation. In 2002,
they began serving with the Washington Avenue Christian Church in Savannah,
Georgia, and continue serving to this day.
Throughout their ministry, every church to which they moved was smaller than the
one they left, every church supported their dear friends Clint and Phyllis Thomas,
and every church supported Johnson Bible College.
