01 May Barb Thornton Suffers Heart Attack

Tom Brodbeck, superintendent of Central Conference, sent this report on two persons in the conference.

Barb Thornton. “Barb Thornton, the Treasurer for Central Conference, has had a heart attack and is a patient at Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Ind. Evidently, Barb’s symptoms were experienced several weeks ago (during the rush of tax season). She thought the pains she was experiencing in her arms and back were the result of her many hours seated at her computer working on the various tax returns she was working on for her clients. However, by the end of last week, things had not cleared up. She was scheduled to have a catherization done this morning (Monday).” Barb is from the Dillman UB church in Warren, Ind.
Randy Fennig,pastor of Prince of Peace UB church in Springfield, Ohio. “Randy is fully recovered from malaria, something he credits to the many prayers being offered on his behalf, and has been back in the pulpit for the past two Sundays.” Randy contracted malaria during his visit to Sierra Leone earlier this year. He had previously had bouts with malaria as a missionary in Mozambique.
