Just one more thing: If God be for us... - Dexter H Faulkner - January 27, 1986

The phones began ringing before 8 a.m. We had little chance to cope with our pain before we were thrust into the incredible number of things that had to be done. "Can you confirm that Mr. Armstrong died at 6 a.m.?" I had just been informed of Mr. Armstrong's death myself, and I was in no mood to answer the phone calls. But that, along with many other things, had to be done and immediately. "It's already on the radio," someone said. Staff members stood in groups here and there, talking quietly. Soon they would have to go to their desks and force themselves to concentrate Ministers and brethren notified. Brethren had to be told. A member and co-worker letter was sent down from Mr. Joseph Tkach to be printed and sent out the same day. Ministers worldwide had to be notified. I hurried to Mr. Tkach's office to lend a hand. Telephone calls were made and faxes sent. There was no way we could beat the news media, of course. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
