Bob & Keren & Rose Marie Interview 1:
RM: But he but he slanted in terms of Van Til and I don't know Van Til well enough to know how that went. But after a year they took the class away came to Bob, you know they loved his teaching they but they they you know in the Christian Reformed Church you don't produce, you don't introduce anything new. But it was interesting because Dr. Van Til was good friend with the doctor in the town, Dr. Vengahl. So every every summer Dr. Van Til would visit with him and then of course Dr. Van, Dr. Van Til would bring him over to our house and then right away they just, they just talked. I mean they just talked you know they didn't even say how are you they just sat there and talked philosophy. It was really.. So when the students wanted Jack to to go to Wall Street to he wanted Dr. Van Til to go along with him. So I had issues with Dr. Van Til. #4:1:39.6#
Location: Ripon, California
Jack applied to teach English in a Christian school in central California in a predominantly Dutch community. We now lived on $285 a month, enough to pay for food and rent. We squeezed into a two-bedroom home. Our house was not on the side of town where the wealthy farmers lived but on the side where the one-room jail was. We had no phone, no car, no bank account, no insurance, and no credit cards. But because Jack taught at the high school, our children were able to attend Christian school for free. I was content.
