Steven’s Baptism

Steven’s Baptism was another very important event on our busy schedule in July, 1971. It was only a bit more than one year before that time, that we had joined Faith Lutheran Church on Tates Creek Road in Lexington. Besides singing in the choir there, I also joined the Lexington Singers, which was a community chorale group of about one hundred singers. I mention the singing here, because  that was the only thing, other than my teaching job at the University, that I remember! The Ludwicks came for the ceremony as Steven’s Godparents. Adriane and Larry were teaching then at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Steven was not very cooperative that morning. It was clear that we had disturbed his sleep, which was very upsetting for him. We had to take him out in the middle of the ceremony. He was fine later, as long as he could snooze in someone’s arms while we were outside to take some pictures:
