Hi Wilma, that would be Rev. Larry Falcom and this is why: http://www.mcspotlight.org/media/press/mcds/ainfosnewsservi200801.html
I have to say, I miss a couple of the businesses that used to be where the CVS, et. al. are. The really good (at the time) computer shop in that little row of businesses was great. I had a computer built for me that would have cost a lot more if I'd been able to find the same specs. When the diner first opened there it was very good and not the small ridiculously priced (it's a diner!) and not good food place it turned into.
