Dear Family of Co-Workers with Christ:
GREETINGS! New students are arriving on campus here in
Pasadena today, and I see several groups being taken on a tour of
the campus. It's hard to realize that another summer is
practically gone -- another school year about to begin!
The other day an IDEA came to mind -- of the kind I
sometimes call having a BRAINSTORM! I realized that we have
published many pictures of the three Ambassador College campuses --
pictures that have shown these campuses as beautiful, cultural,
high-character, with magnificent landscaping, stately -- even
fabulous buildings.
Our campuses truly ARE beautiful! We have won public
awards for the superb and immaculate maintenance of properties --
of the IMPROVEMENT of our properties. Then, when I have mentioned
to Co-Workers the desperate NEED of new buildings, many have not
been able to see WHY, with all the beauty we have pictured, we need
new buildings. I REALIZED THEN THAT MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN ONLY THE
SIDE OF THE STORY WE HAVE PUBLISHED! You have not SEEN the old
shacks, the little old houses, we have had to use. As the Pasadena
campus has grown and expanded through the past twenty years, we
have bought additional properties, a little or a single small
piece, at a time. Some of these have been real old run-down
dilapidated in appearance. Yes, SURE we have immediately improved
them -- and, as better quarters become possible, we have torn them
down to erect NEW buildings -- of which, in the twenty years, we
have so far completed TWO.
But, we have not been able to tear them down and build new
buildings at once. Often we have had to use these old sub-standard
properties for YEARS before we could replace them with new
buildings -- of which, so far, there have been ONLY TWO -- in
twenty years!
The "brainstorm" -- or the IDEA -- was, simply, that we
ought to show our family of Co-Workers THIS OTHER SIDE OF THE
STORY! The OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS -- literally! -- because much
of it is the other side of the Union Pacific freight tracks! So we
have gathered together a few of these photographs. I had them
reprinted for an article -- then decided to SEND THIS ARTICLE AS
ONE OF MY MONTHLY LETTERS TO YOU CO-WORKERS!
