We Baileys and Rackleys are proud to have had four generations attending Bluefield College. Dad, David L. Bailey Sr., began the journey in the 1920s; both of my brothers, David and Bob attended; I graduated in 1954. I currently have a son, Joel L. Rackley, enrolled in the adult education department. Dave and I both taught there.
Our dad got people enrolled in Bluefield who could not afford to go anywhere else.
Would you please encourage the Baptist General Association of Virginia to continue funding Bluefield College at the same level as this current year, which is about $300,000? I understand that the proposed budget would reduce the funds to $142,000!
May God bless the Baptists of Virginia as they continue to support Bluefield as God would have them do.
Margaret B. (Betty) Rackley, Gladys
