Greetings from Andy & Lynn Thorpe

Thanks for giving me my first & last Saturday job back in 1975. I remember fondly the days of Arnold and Wally - no not other staff members, but the names we gave to the cassette duplicators we used back in those days.

You took me under your wing and the money I earned on those Saturday's paid for my Pioneer record turntable, Yamaha HiFi reciever & Wharfedale loudspeakers - all that really counts when you're a 15 year old who loves music. You truly were mum & dad ICC and everyone knew it. Thanks for letting Geoff & I loose to decorate the cassette duplication room in chocolate brown & magnolia - very trusting of you - but that's how you are - very trusting. You have always believed the best in people and by doing so it brought the best out in everyone who worked with you.

Coming back to ICC ten years ago was like coming home again. Things had changed & grown drastically but you were still the mum & dad of a work that by then had stood the test of time and proven God's incredible faithfulness. I love ICC, I love that although you won't be around so much, the Helmut & Elizabeth DNA is firmly in place.

Thanks for praying and standing with Lynn & I and our family when everything was a mess. You know how to pray and you're used to seeing God answer! Thank you!!

And most of all - thank you for finishing well - you are an example to all of us who desire to do the same.

Loads of love - Andy & Lynn Thorpe
