This was a lot of fun for my wife and me to read because we have known Charles and June Perry since I was his pastor in Libby, Montana. I was surprised to see a copy of a letter I had written verifying to the Saudi government that he is a Christian. Charles had an interesting life, full of adventure and humor.
