Since a blog or weblog is a journal or diary, it seems appropriate to share my inspiration for this project. My inspiration is the experience I was privileged to enjoy as a student at Glen Cove Christian Academy(GCCA) and later at Glen Cove Bible College (GCBC). While the schools were forced to close, too soon from my human perspective, they live on in the hearts and minds of their respective alumni. My intent is to help to preserve the history of the school by digitizing as many objective historical documents as possible. This will not only preserve the documents but allow us to publish them on a website created for that purpose. I appreciate the kindness of several alumni and former teachers who have shared publications and documents for this project. Since this is my first post, this is probably the appropriate place to express my thanks. I am grateful to Harold and Evelyn Duff, Dr. Arthur Fish and many others for their vision and sacrifice in providing leadership to establish the schools. Their names and the names of many other board members, teachers, staff members, parents and students who through God's grace formed these schools will appear throughout this new archival web site. As I have worked on this project, I have frequently wondered how different my life would have been without GCCA and GCBC. It has served as a reminder of God's goodness to me and my fellow alumni in having provided a high quality Christian education for so many students. Many of the subsequent entries will be devoted to the process of creating this archive, in part, for my benefit as I seek to improve the process.
