Good morning Mani,
That is a great photo! Are you in this photo??? My family and I still have a connection with the Church of God here in North Carolina. I am thinking that is where those bee hive hairdos you wore came from, lol. You all did not have any snakes did you? That was really big in the Western part of our state back then. I think that some smaller churches in the mountains still have them.... I hate snakes!!!! COG has definitely changed since back then, women actually wear jewelry and cut their hair. Talk to you later, Thrifty
