Am sorry to report that Robert E. Wood of London, Kentucky,died in May 2003. John Isaacs provided these details. Bob was an exceptionally nice and soft-spoken person with a passion for family, faith, travel and serving others. After majoring in international relations at college, he went into the Peace Corps and worked in Thailand. Bob earned an M.A. in Southeast Asian studies at Yale in 1971. He taught in Vientiane, Laos, from 1971 to 1973. In Laos he married Mary Lou Gething, with whom he had three children: Patricia, Robert and Timothy. After time in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, they moved to eastern Kentucky in 1985 to work at the United Methodist Church's Red Bird Missionary Conference. Bob served as business manager of Red Bird's Mission and then treasurer of the conference before helping to establish the Bennett Center of London. In 2000 Bob was honored as Community Leader of the Year for his work in establishing the center. A few months before Bob became ill, he and Mary Lou returned to South- east Asia to celebrate their 30th anniversary and find the church where they were married. Bob and Mary Lous Christian faith has been passed on to their children: Robert serves as a youth minister in North Carolina, Timothy ministers in Illinois, and Patricia and her husband are in Indiana preparing to serve overseas. Our sincerest sympathies to the Wood family.
