Pat Parker Chapman
I married my sweetheart Bob Chapman in 1961 after his return from touring Korea as a guest of the U.S. Army. My husband had attended Oakdale High and one of our classmates married one of their girls, so I reintroduced myself to him at their 45th Reunion (I can't remember his name). He remembered a Pat Parker saying, "But, she was REAL religious", ha,ha...I threw both hands straight up in the air and whooped...."That's ME"! I had actually started preaching in school at age 15 so I would have seemed rather peculiar as a student. At least he REMEMBERED me!. My hubby retired from M.I.D. in 1996 after my retirement in December 1995 from Modesto City Schools Accounting Department. We traveled with a Missions group for exactly one year, then left Modesto/Ceres, moving to Amador County. I served as a Volunteer Police Chaplain for the Jackson P.D. for six years, resigning in July 2007 to care for my Mother in Law. She passed away in June, so we're planning several trips before expanding our horizons to more distant places. We been on several cruises, but, want to see the U.S. My husband encouraged me to get my Minister's License, so he more or less applied for me by telling the Organizations President that I had practiced on him for over 40 years and it was time I had a license for it. I didn't even have to be interviewed, I received my Certificate of License with "Dayspring Word of Faith Ministries" (non-denominational) and continue to speak as opportunities present themselves.
I'm also a Cancer survivor 7 plus years and attribute my health and life to all the prayer in my behalf. We're very active in the American Legion and our home Church
. Truly, "Godzgood" Pat Parker Chapman
