The Stricklands have two * grown daughters Jen nifer, who is a math instructor at Darton Col lege, and Leslie, who teach es social studies in Baxley. “The people here in Perry have been very gracious,” Strickland said. “They’ve brought food and desserts and dropped by to visit, and they held a welcome reception Sunday after noon.” He said that while he would miss his church "family" in Vidalia, he is looking forward to getting to know the Perry congre gation. “You become part of peo ple's lives, and there’s always a sadness in leav ing,” he said, “but 1 am looking forward to building the kind of loving relation ship here. I know how much they loved and appreciated (former Perry UMC pastor) Marcus and Jan Tripp." He also noted that “The Perry church has a reputa tion for being a strong United Methodist Church."
