It was always funny. I loved watching people's reactions as he delivered is take on the poem. Your dad and John were such good friends. One special memory of him when our daughter, Laura was a very Young girl. She would see him coming down the hall and she would run to meet him. He would pick her up and talk to her. She thought he was pretty special. As a matter of fact we all did. I miss them all and their wonderful way of presenting the scripture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781025358855188363.post-28891906477199227682019-07-19T18:40:05.262-07:002019-07-19T18:40:05.262-07:00Harold Morrison and Bob Winn shared this recording...Harold Morrison and Bob Winn shared this recording with me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947260695575933612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781025358855188363.post-54384732686271444722017-04-03T09:22:25.314-07:002017-04-03T09:22:25.314-07:00Hi Jim - I'm glad I ran into this post, but I ...Hi Jim - I'm glad I ran into this post, but I know it's a little old so you may never see this!

I remember Dr. Cawood sitting on a stool in the candle-lit, holiday-decorated, downstairs cafeteria at 18th & Arch right before Christmas break (1975) and he recited his Exegesis of "The Night before Christmas" - what a hoot! It was even better watching his facial expressions while telling it! He was a very very funny man! My first time hearing him was at America's Keswick Youth Week. He would have us all laughing at the lake with his funny stories!

He would affectionately call me Lady and attended my Mom's funeral when she died rather suddenly. He encouraged his students to follow God with all their hearts. I also loved Dr. McGahey. Everyone <br />who took his classes will always remember his phrase..."Israel is not the church". It was so sad when he died so suddenly. Dr. Ceperly was a great teacher as well. He taught us so much about Israel and he was a sweet man. I hear that now the college isn't as strong on the Dispensationalist view of the Scriptures taught so strongly by these three godly men. Well I still believe !!!! - Laura Leonhauser Godshall<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1781025358855188363.post-23236812387894512062013-09-24T14:23:53.934-07:002013-09-24T14:23:53.934-07:00The 3 Amigos, CC & M, Drs.

One of her classes was taught by Dr Cawood and we still have an audio casette of his famous Night Before Christmas presentation. She also was involved with a post grad fellowship at 10th St Presbyterian and remembers Dr Everett Koop as being a member of 10th back in the late 1960's and early 70's. Dr James Boyce - another great Philly teacher and preacher - was pastor of "10th Pres" for many years. We have an autographed copy of one of Dr Boyce's books.
