Note:We are desirous of securing for the Historical files of the Michigan Conference complete and detailed
information concerning all ministers who have served and are now serving in the Conference. The above outline
is intended to assist in securing· such information in more or less uniform outlines. We urge the addition, on a
separate sheet, of such -o ther important and interesting information as cannot be conveniently placed on this blank.
In the case of men now living, the information can, of course, be only up to date, Photographs of living and deceased ministers, diaries, letters and documents of historical interest are earnestly solicited. Your co-operation
in behalf of the Conference Historical work will be greatly appreciated. Kindly return the blank to the Conference Historian.

The Detroit Annual Conference honored four pastors
granted retirement status in
1996. The number was down
this year compared to years
past, but the speeches and the
emotions felt were still present.
/
G. Charles Ball- 41 years
service. Rev. Ball came from
the
Evangelical
United
Brethren Church, and was
ordained an elder in 1961. He
served many churches, last
serving the Frankenmuth
UMC. He and wife Margaret
will be living in Saginaw, where
Charles will continue his ministry part-time on the staff of
Midland: First.
Paul F. Blomquist - 41
years service. Rev. Blomquist
has served as delegate to five
General and Jurisdictional
Conferences.
He
served
churches in the West Michigan,
New England, and Detroit
Conferences, and was Flint
District Superintendent in the
mid-70's. Paul and wife Bea
'are moving to the Clarkston
area, where they look forward
to "new adventures and holy
surprises."
James A. Craig - 40 years
service. Rev. Craig has spent
-.. J
the last 25 years in appointments beyond the local
church, most recently the Congregational Development Unit
of the National Division, General Board of Global Ministries. He served churches in
the Central Illinois, New York
and Detroit Conferences, and
was Flint District Superintendent from 1979 to 1985, following Paul Blomquist. He
and wife Phyllis will reside in
Montclair, New Jersey, in retirement.
Wayne D. Jensen - 35
years service. Rev. Jensen
served primarily in the town
and country parish, and grew
up in the Millington Methodist
Church. He served part-time
in the parish and part-time as
a professor of Sociology. "In all
endeavors," he writes, "I have
sought to be faithful to the call
of the Master." He and wife
Yvonne will spend retirement
years traveling and listening to
grandchildren sing in their
church choir.
Also retiring: Marion A.
Pohly- local pastor; Don Silvis - honorable location.
Being acknowledged for service - Rothwell McVety local pastor; Anna Marie
Austin - Pastor from another
denomination.
