Endorser profile: Al Letkeman
I first met Al when I attended Providence College for one year after grade 12. He and his wonderful wife, Monica, were working at Providence College, and I probably bumped into Monica more than him as she helped me find the textbooks I needed at The Book Nook–what a cute name for a bookstore! A few years later, they accepted a role as a pastor couple at our church; Al served in the role of…

Endorser profile: Julia Stoesz
Julia Stoesz entered my life approximately three decades ago. She was part of a group of friends in the young adults circle at my church. She moved away years ago, and we lost contact.
