My neighborhood throws a big block party tonight. We do it every Halloween. It's an extremely safe neighborhood and the kids still go Trick or Treating door to door with their costumes on. I will see princesses, pirates and all sorts of garb when the sun goes down this evening. I may even put on...

It was about 1980, so I was over 21 years old. I was working in a plant in East Chicago and I had a revolver that I wanted to sell to a co-worker. We met in the parking lot and the guy examined it and decided he wanted to buy it. While making the transaction, an anonymous classmate of mine who...

I remember my days at HAC, mostly in the latter 70s as an introduction to many songs that were congregationally sung in chapel that I had never heard before. I haven't heard them since either. Back then, I actually thought Dr. Evans' song leading was a bit strange, but then a friend of mine...

I've been away from the IFB stuff for many years. Are there still churches trying to utilize the bus ministry that way they were 45-50 years ago? I know FBC still runs buses. What percentage of buses are they running from the peak -- whenever that was? I really do not know of a church remotely...

What was your most fulfilling time at HAC? What made it so? Mine was in my junior year, I worked on the blind bus with a guy named Alan Stewart. I forget how we cultivated the bus route but we went over a lot of Chicago and picked up the blind members and took them home afterwards. One that I...

First, this memory is very fuzzy, so I may have it wrong... Does anyone remember back in the seventies an event where a security guard made up a story of getting assaulted and knocked out one night (or early morning) on campus and and then these supposed terrorists set the bridge at the lake on...

I'm new here. Has anyone ever seen any students, say of the most recent decade (2014-2024) participate on this forum? I am curious as to the state of mind of today's HAC student. I wonder if their experience is similar to what we encountered in the 70's, 80's or 90's? If not, how so?

I follow HAC on their alumni Facebook page. It's run by Steve Froelke, who I remember just a bit when I was there over forty years ago. They keep the page buttoned down very secure. For example, I placed a post on the page asking if there were any recent alumni directories, that I would possibly...

My experience ends in 1981, so I can't speak to anyone who came afterward, but I believe these were most authentic faculty in my time at HAC: Ed Reese, George Godfrey, Toby Weaver, Bruce Johnson and Maxine Barber. Sadly, I was not as appreciative of them while there as I grew to be later. These...

Does anyone remember the lady that spoke at Christian Womanhood meetings on divorce? I think her last name was Hays. She was divorced and spoke on the evils of divorce, which was a bit novel for that place at the time. She also worked at the college and was helpful to me at times. I never...

I don't use anything I learned at HAC today. I left there in 1981 -- graduated too! I realized in the last year there that I wasn't going into "full time Christian service." I was much too invested to quit at that time, so I stayed and graduated. I went home and worked construction the following...

Does anyone else remember Rex Humbard? He was ( I believe) the first pastor to have a nationwide television broadcast, that in my home location aired every Sunday morning before we would go to church. My parents were big fans and once, we traveled about 500-600 miles to visit Rex's church, "The...
