[Editor's Comment: I have known Charles Strickland for a number of years. He at one time was a member or the Pentecostal Holiness Church in Smyrna, GA. He loved the IPHC and loved to read Hugh's News. He frequently contributed to Hugh's News, Inc. and that was a blessing to this electronic ministry. His brother, Stanley Strickland, used to be the organist of our church and his wife, Marilyn, was our pianist. His brother, Heyward Strickland was active in our church in Athens and drove a van for Sunday school and Wednesday night services. Heyward's widow, Claudia, is a close friend of our family.]
