Dan said he is concerned about "how we maintain diversity. We live in a very diverse world, and churches are struggling with that. How do institutions and individuals deal with change?" GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS: "Inspiring and enabling people to give service to the church," Peggy said. "Making an impact on a dynamic part of the city."

"I'm a George Strait fan. There's nothing like Hank Williams Sr. singing 'Your Cheatin' Heart' and Tammy Wynette singing "Stand by Your Man.' " THEIR IDEA OF A PERFECT VACATION: Peggy would like to combine education and travel to see the great outdoors and study the history of each destination. Dan wouldn't mind a cruise: "When you have access to food 23 hours a day and they bring it right to you." He also wouldn't mind being left at a bookstore with a credit card for at least 24 hours. WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS: "Better leadership," Peggy said. "We need people who are concerned for the public welfare. People right now are concerned with the bottom line budget. The leaders need to have an interest in people at heart." Dan thinks people need to stop and listen to one another. "We don't take the time to listen to others who are different from us," he said.
