Accolades from former minister for Russell centennial
Rev Grenfell Zwicker submits reminiscences celebrating the Russell Society’s 100th year. He recalls long ties with Russell and Binscarth, naming families, churches, and local figures who shaped the town’s history. He cites Emmett memories from 1951 to 1967, the town’s waterworks, schools, hospital staff, and the first Bible Version presentation in 1952, ending with best wishes to readers for the next century.
