Welcome to Online Baptist Joe. I remember BBCE back in the day, is that now Boston Baptist College?

I have no idea. The BBF seems to have faded off the scene. I was there in the early 1980's. We started off in New York and moved to Boston.

Is this the same BBF out of Missouri? If so, I went to a Bible college that was started as a split from the BBF.

From the looks of it, it was a sister college

A few of my classmates from high school went to BBCE in the early 90's

Thanks, Brother. That's what I thought. Fellowship Baptist College in E. Peoria, Illinois was a split from them in the middle 70s. They started a new "fellowship", but that, like the college itself has faded away.

Welcome aboard, Joe.

So you are from Massachusetts, live in California, hence the name Jim_Alaska. Perfect.  What part of Mass? I am from Peabody.

Th "Alaska" part is just because I lived there for 37 years. I only keep the screen name because it has been on the Internet for for such a long time.

Peabody is close to places I have lived. Born in Gloucester, lived in Malden and Melrose. Used to shoot rats in the Peabody dump a lifetime ago.

Ever been to Chandler's Ice Cream? That was my grandfather, my dad, and my uncle.

No, I never have Joe. Don't even know where it is. But you have to realize that I left Mass. in my early twenties and am now eighty.
