I first met Dr Marjorie and her husband in 1974 at Loma Linda University. They took an interest in me, and we developed a close friendship over the past three and half decades. It was the encouragement that Senior Editor, Dr Marjorie, gave me to regularly contribute to the Journal of Health and Healing that got me started into a prolific writing career. Her 100% loyality to the SDA health message always shone through in her meticulous attention in editing the journal and promoting only those health messages which would be an encouragement to the readers of the journal. She never flinched in her balanced approach to the health message and she never once compromised on her understanding of the health message and the inspired writings of EG White. In fact, her gentleness, kindness, and her firm dedication to promoting medical missionary work led some of us to see Dr Marjorie as visibly expressing the very thoughts and simple lifestyle of Ellen White herself. She always treated me like her own son, and I felt accepted and appreciated in her presence. She always took an interest in my family and what I was involved with in my work. My work was always highly respected by her, and she encouraged me as a regular speaker to the Annual Medical Seminar at Wildwood over the past 25 years. Her influence has been far and wide. Health reform never had a more ardent proponent than Dr Marjorie. I cannot imagine Wildwood as being the same place without her cheerful personality, her steady leadership, and her encouragement to faithfully promote the health message in these troublesome last days. Her support and encouragement has meant much to me over the years. Winston Craig Professor of Nutrition Andrews University |
