Johnson sentenced for more than 15 years Springtown case of attack on gay man drew national attention By Natalie Gentry Brice Johnson, 20, of Springtown, was sentenced on Monday in federal court to more than 15 years in federal prison for the 2013 kidnapping of a gay man after inviting the victim to his home and brutally assaulting him. During the plea process, Johnson admitted to that he invited Aaron Keahey – the victim – to his house on Sept. 2 after meeting him through the social cell phone application MeetMe.com. According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, within a few minutes after Keahey arrived at the house, Johnson severely beat him and bound Keahey’s wrists with electrical cord. Keahey spent the next 10 days at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospi-

tal Fort Worth, suffering from multiple skull and facial fractures. Johnson was arrested a few days later. In his first interview, Johnson told Springtown police that he found Keahey beaten and in the trunk of his own car. In another interview with SPD, Johnson, who is not gay, admitted that he had invited Keahey over to his home. Johnson admitted that he participated in sexual communication on the MeetMe.com website, but said he didn’t think it was “for real.” According to a federal criminal complaint filed in the chase, during a recorded jail call Johnson told family members: “I invited this guy over,

right, at first it was basically like a joke that went too far and too wrong.” FBI agents – who joined the investigation once it was deemed a possible hate crime – discovered that Johnson had saved Keahey’s phone number in his cellphone under an anti-gay slur name. The hate crime charges were later dropped. During the plea hearing on June 20, Johnson admitted that he held and confined the victim against his will in order to conceal the violent assault and to removing Keahey’s severely injured body from the home where Johnson was staying. Johnson was sentenced to 183 Brice Johnson months in the federal penitentiary.

I am Iron Man Springtown man creates functional and artistic metalwork pieces by Natalie Gentry A burning forge heats raw metal red-hot. The bang of a hammer hitting metal rings out. Slowly it is transformed into art by the hands of Springtown resident Melvin Maley.

Going (really) old school SHS AP students earn Ivy League shirts for top scores By Natalie Gentry The Advanced Placement (AP) World History course at Springtown High School (SHS) is the first AP course students encounter. By taking this college prep class, these students have the opportunity to earn college credit. “It is a difficult subject to master since it covers the history of everything.” said AP World History instructor David Lamb. In order to keep students motivated, Lamb, this year’s Excellence in Education recipient, offers Ivy League college shirts as incentives for the top performers in the class. “I started this last year to reward the top students for their efforts,” Lamb said. “I try to encourage students to look outside the box as far as schools are concerned; there are so many great universities beyond the typical.” Lamb also emphasizes that online

Hearing the call “I always wanted to be an artist,” Maley said. “I’ve always been able to see the finished pieces, I just needed to learn the skill.” Maley – owner of Forged By Fire: Artistry in Motion – has been creating artistic metalwork pieces for almost 23 years.

“I remember my grandpa made a Lazy Susan for his bolts and washers,” Maley said. “Watching him make it really inspired me to create.” Meeting the mentor “Then when I was working construction in Kansas City, I saw some work by Amir Rajovnik, and knew that’s what I needed to do,” Maley said. “I met the man and told him I knew I could do it if given a chance.” Rajovnik gave him that chance. “He taught me a lot about design and detail,” Maley said. “He showed PLEASE SEE ARTISTIC, PAGE 2A.

courses now make it possible to attend these schools without having to travel hundreds of miles away. In fact, Lamb recently took a few Harvard classes online. Recognition for hard work “This year my thought was to recognize them early and use the college shirts as a stimulus for even greater effort,” Lamb continued. “I picked the Ivy League because it is the top academic conference and added the Pacific 12 Conference because it is the next best academic conference – Southern California, Stanford, UCLA, California, and Washington Universities are all elite institutions,” he continued. “I have also included Rice University, the Ivy League school in Texas.” Other than Rice, Lamb avoided Texas colleges because he didn’t want any focus upon local rivalries.

The first group of AP students to receive Ivy League shirts includes (l-r): Conner Kelley, Channae Pitt-Richardson, Brittany Barry, Glandia Macias, Sophia Kelley, Amber Bredehoft, AP World history teacher David Lamb, Nancy Martinez, Garrison Trichel, and Jesse Springfield.

A Parker County ESD 1 fire engine was involved in an accident with a passenger vehicle while responding to a medical call Tuesday, Nov. 18 around 7:45 a.m. at Hwy. 199 and Jay Bird Lane. Two persons were transported from the scene to area emergency rooms. The accident is under investigation. Personnel on scene theorized that the blinding east sun could have been a factor.

Cow patty Bingo a hit The coffers for the annual Class of 2015 Project Graduation swelled after the Nov. 15 Cow Patty Bingo fundraiser. A cow borrowed from Elden and Jimmie Gee eventually made a winner out of Jay Grubis – who immediately donated his winnings back to Project Graduation. Several students earned cash for selling tickets. Kelly Boyett sold 59 and earned $100. The runner-up was Makenna Pruitt whose 57 sales made her $75 richer. Third place and $50 went to Kalie Wells for selling 36 ducats. Kaitie Sugg sold Grubis his winning ticket so she was

awarded $100. Future fundraisers for Project Graduation include a Dec. 12 clay shoot at Decatur’s Fossil Pointe Sporting Grounds; contact Derek Sugg at (682) 4298891 or dereks@klementcjd. com for more information. The

Ronald “Carl” Noah died Thursday, Nov. 13, 2014, at Azle Manor following a long and spirited battle with Parkinson’s Disease. A funeral was held Monday, Nov. 17, at 1 p.m. at The Abbey Church, 10400 Jacksboro Highway, Fort Worth. Interment followed at Ash Creek Cemetery in Azle under the direction of Biggers Funeral Home. Carl was born Feb. 4, 1935 in Fort Worth, the youngest child of Joseph O. and Launa Frances Ellis Noah. He attended the historic Rock School in Azle, where he made lifelong friends. He served two years in the U.S. Navy stationed in San Diego, California. Carl married Tanya Sue Jones in January 1959 and they had two daughters, Carla and Darla. He married Ruth Laverne Mitchell in 1963, and they had Bill and Cindy. Laverne died in January 1987, and Carl married Violet Eleanor Kester Bollinger in May 2000. He was widely regarded as a radiator mechanic, and also retired from LockheedMartin in 2000 after 23 years as an aircraft assemblyman. Carl also answered to Daddy, Gramps, Mepaw, Grandpa, Rod Man and Uncle Dirty. Carl’s easygoing personality, and sense of humor and adventure were his trademarks. His children were blessed by his kind

acceptance and unconditional love for each of them. He became a single dad in 1961 – long before it became popular. He was also a talented artist who loved music and dancing. Anyone who knew Carl knows of his penchant for speed. From dragsters and race cars to classic cars, motorcycles and airplanes, he was never happier than when at the controls of anything with an engine and wheels or wings. He loved to soar above the clouds and watch the sun set from the sky. When Parkinson’s sidelined him, Carl took great pleasure in learning about his ancestors, whom we now know includes too many preachers to count, several Civil War soldiers and at least four Revolutionary War soldiers. Carl was preceded in death by his parents; step-mother, “Mama Bea” Noah; beloved brother, Ellis Bruce Noah; adored sister Velma Noah Rose Springfield; his second wife, Laverne Noah; nephew, Bruce Rose; and grandson, Marcus Daniel Stepich. Survivors include his wife, Elie Noah; children, Carla and Steve Stutsman, Darla and David Stepich, Bill Noah, and Cindy Niamtu and Marcia Moore; step-children, Melanie and Brian Phillips, Blake and Brandi Bollinger and Allison and Dave Cromer; grandchildren, Aaron and Jamie Stepich, Alexia Noah Steele, Amanda Sue Noah, Michael Stepich, Johna Noah Nixon, Johnathon Niamtu, Jack Noah and ChelleBea Wheeler; step-grandchildren, Kevin Stutsman, Wendy and David Hein, Susan and C.T. Ritchie, Paige and Josh Riddle, BaLeigh Bollinger, Karissa Phillips, Kassidy Phillips and Kaden Phillips; 19 great-grandchildren and another expected in March 2015; and cherished nieces, Pat Noah Gallaher, Brenda Noah Hallman and Beth Noah Hurd.

I’m not too Swift

don’t know a single Taylor Swift song. She’s constantly in the news, taking her music off Spotify or dating famous males then breaking up with them and penning another hit song about the relationship (or so I’ve read). But I have never heard a note of her music. Naturally, I’m not the target audience at 58. But I have grandchildren and they have taught me what the fox says and that I lack Gangnam style. Occasionally, I leave the radio on a contemporary ON YOUR music station to hear what MARK the kids are listening to these Mark K. Campbell days. I used to know entire Top 40 lists. So, I checked out this week’s charts to see what’s popular. And there’s Taylor Swift with the No. 1 record again, “Shake it Off.” She also has the No. 13 with “Blank Space.” But, since I had never heard one of her songs, I figured I might as well watch the video to the best record in America, “Shake it Off” from the best-selling album of the year. Oh, dear... Maybe I’ll check out the video for “Blank Space.” Ummmm... Those songs seemed quite forgettable, pop pufferies. But then I’m not 14 (unless you ask the Bride). So “Shake it Off” is No. 1 this week. Let’s jump back in 10-year increments and see how Swift stacks up: 2004 – “My Boo” by Usher and Alicia Keys. Never heard of it. 1994 – “I’ll Make Love to You” Boys II Men. This has a nice Motown sound and was OK. 1984 – “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham! Oh, my. Well, it was catchy and spawned some really big (literally) t-shirt sales. 1974 – “Whatever Gets You Thru the Night” by John Lennon with the Plastic Ono Nuclear Band (with an uncredited boost from the red-hot Elton John). Perfect pop. I think we can all agree that Swift is no Lennon. 1964 – “Baby Love” by The Supremes. Real Motown. I’m old, I know. Yet, lots of my rock ‘n’ roll heroes – Neil Young, James Taylor – love Swift and she honors them with cover songs. I could change my mind – what if she can turn “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath into a pop classic? Then call me maybe. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and does have a video with his daughters of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” which is awesome.

Leadership: Somebody’s L Grandmother says thanks to watching…I promise cheer coaches etter

’m not a leader!” I have heard that statement from terrified individuals. They were terrified that they would be put in charge of something, or that they would be asked to speak in public, or that they would let everyone down, or that they were simply unqualified. I have an answer for each of those. Being a leader doesn’t mean that you are the organizer or the boss. It may mean that your role is to encourage the organizers and bosses. Being a leader doesn’t require you to be a public speaker. It may mean that your most effective speaking will be private, meaningful conversations. Being a leader doesn’t mean that everyone else is on your shoulders. If you are not holding them up, then it is really not possible to let them down. Being a leader doesn’t mean that you are the most qualified. In fact, that sense of feeling unqualified may be a top characteristic of a GOOD leader because you recognize that you can’t do it all yourself, you need to be part of a great team, and someone is “following” you by observing how you respond to life’s challenges. You may not have an official PO-

SITION of leadership, but you are a LEADER b e c a u s e someone somewhere is watching you. So, how do you maximize your leadership? LIFE MATTERS I have four suggestions: • Submerse Gerry Lewis yourself in wisdom. For me that begins with the Bible, which I believe to be God’s divinely inspired, completely true, reliable, and trustworthy written revelation of Himself and His purposes. Will you find the specific answer to your every specific question in the Bible? Maybe not. Can you find an eternal and authoritative principle that will help you deal with your question? Absolutely! • Surround yourself with people who elevate you. Business leader Jim Rohn says, “You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” That doesn’t mean you

should not be involved in a helping profession or you should avoid your high maintenance family members. That means you should be intentional about carving out time to be with people (either in their presence, or reading their writings) that can help you become the leader you want to be. • Take a follower with you. Just as you need people who can speak powerfully into your life, your “watchers” need you to speak powerfully into theirs. Become the kind of person that is in someone else’s top five. • Guard your heart. How many leaders have lost their influence and credibility due to a “fall?” I am convinced that most of those fallen leaders did not intentionally set out to do the things that led to their demise. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Our lives matter so much to God that He wants to be our heart-guard and our heart-guide as we direct our “watchers’” attention toward Him. Somebody’s watching…I promise. Azle resident Dr. Gerry Lewis is director of missions for the Harvest Baptist Association, which is headquartered in Decatur. He writes a blog at www.drgerrylewis.com.

A big thank you to Jennifer and Shay, coaches of the fifth grade cheerleading squad for the Springtown Porcupines. They were awesome due to the dedication and hard work of their coaches. It was much appreciated by grandparents, parents and cheerleaders for everything you both did for them. Diana Gouyton Grandmother

The Wampanoag side of the Thanksgiving story – Part 1

ichelle Tirado wrote, “Too often the story of the 1621 Thanksgiving is told from the Pilgrims’ point of view, and when the Wampanoag, who partook in this feast too, are included, it is usually in a brief or distorted way. “In search of the Native Americanperspective, we looked to Plymouth, where the official first Thanksgiving took place and where today the Wampanoag side of the story can be found. “Plimoth Plantation is one of Plymouth’s top attractions and probably the place to go for the first Thanksgiving story. It is a living museum, with its replica 17th century Wampanoag Homesite, a representation of the homesite used by Hobbamock, who served as emissary between the Wam-

“And yet, when the Wa m p a n o a g watched the Mayflower’s passengers come ashore at Patuxet, they did not see them as a threat. ‘The Wa m p a n o a g HISTORICAL had seen many HIGHLIGHTS ships before,’ explained Tim Laurie Moseley Turner, Cherokee, manager of Plimoth Plantation’s Wampanoag Homesite and co-owner of Native Plymouth Tours. ‘They had seen traders and fishermen, but they had not seen women and children before. In the Wampanoag ways, they never

would have brought their women and children into harm. So, they saw them as a peaceful people for that reason.’ “But they did not greet them right away either. The English, in fact, did not see the Wampanoag that first winter at all, according to Turner. ‘They saw shadows,’ he said. “Samoset, a Monhegan from Maine, came to the village on March 16, 1621. The next day, he returned with Tisquantum (Squanto), a Wampanoag who befriended and helped the English that spring, showing them how to plant corn, fish and gather berries and nuts. “That March, the Pilgrims entered into a treaty of mutual protection with Ousamequin (Massasoit), the Pokanoket Wampanoag leader. “Turner said what most people do not know about the first Thanksgiving is that the Wampanoag and Pilgrims did not sit down for a big turkey din-

panoag and Pilgrims, and staffed by 23 Native Americans, mostly Wampanoag; 17th century English Village; and the Mayflower II, a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth. “According to a Plimoth Plantation timeline, the Mayflower arrived at Plymouth Harbor on December 16, 1620. The Pilgrims settled in an area that was once Patuxet, a Wampanoag village abandoned four years prior after a deadly outbreak of a plague, brought by European traders who first appeared in the area in 1616. “The museum’s literature tells thatbefore 1616, the Wampanoag numbered 50,000 to 100,000, occupying 69 villages scattered throughout southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island. The plague, however, killed thousands, up to two-thirds, of them. Many also had been captured and sold as slaves.

ner and it was not an event that the Wampanoag knew about or were invited to in advance. “In September/October 1621, the Pilgrims had just harvested their first crops, and they had a good yield. They ‘sent four men on fowling,’ which comes from the one paragraph account by Pilgrim Edward Winslow, one of only two historical sources of this famous harvest feast. “Winslow also stated, ‘We exercised our arms. Most historians believe what happened was Massasoit got word that there was a tremendous amount of gunfire coming from the Pilgrim village,’ Turner said. ‘So he thought they were being attacked and he was going to bear aid.’” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Sanger sinks Springtown in bi-district game, 31-21 Slow start too much to overcome by mark k. campbell The Porcupines were too generous early. Springtown (7-4) faced Sanger in football bi-district at Sanger High School, and the game could hardly have started worse. The Indians turned two Porcupine fumbles and a failed fake punt in SHS territory into 21 short-field points by the second play of the second quarter. Behind 21-0, the hole proved too great for SHS to claw out of – but Springtown gave it a shot. However, the rally fell short and Sanger advanced with a 3121 win. On a cold evening, the halftime break arrived with SHS

behind 24-0. But the Porcupines came back with a fury. While the Springtown defense would not give up another point, the offense scored twice in the third period with senior Dillon Springfield having a hand in both. First, he caught a 60-yard pass from QB Austin Bauman. Then, at the end of the quarter, he threw a pass to Mateo Herrera. After the latter’s successful PAT kicks, the score stood 24-14 with a period remaining. However, a Sanger pick six from the Springtown 8 gave the Indians a 31-14 lead with 9 minutes left. Springtown scored again late in the game when Herrera caught a 2-yard pass from Bauman. But that capped the contest. The Porcupines out-gained Aug. 29 – Decatur 49-21 the Indians in total yards 342 Sept. 5 – at Liberty Chr. 20-54 to 295.

yards and a trio of TDs. Bauman threw for 280 of those on a sharp 21 of 28 night. Herrera had a memorable evening, scoring 15 of SHS’ 21 points on two touchdown receptions and a trio of PAT kicks. The playoff game marked the end of the first year of the Brian Hulett era, a season that saw the Porcupines win seven games for the first time since 2010 . Year two officially begins next August.

Movie Man

Thursday, November 20, 2014

Sequel 20 years in the making is no less Dumber Funny is a tricky thing. What makes someone else laugh is flat-out unfunny to someone else. Humor-wise, movies have run the gamut. About the film Dumb and Dumber To is the official sequel to 1994’s Dumb and Dumber (Movie Man No. 57, a ‘-’ in those ancient nonnumbering days, a 5 today). This is the real second movie with the original makers; it’s not to be confused with Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd in 2003 – which was a dud that still managed to make its paltry $19 million budget back (it made $26.2 million). This official sequel mirrors the juvenile humor of the original – sometimes it’s so stupid you can’t beleive it and other times you’re almost embarrassed that you’re laughing at the onscreen antics. Cinematic comedy covers all tastes. Silent movies were filled with slapstick and some of Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd films remain some of the greatest every made. Sophisticated humor arrived mid-century, filled with rapid wordplay and witty repartee. While dopey comedies occastionally popped up, the lid blew off with Blazing Saddles. No one had ever seen anything like it in 1974; it was so raunchy and crude. And funny. It remains one of the most quoted films of alltime. (“The sherriff is a gong!”) Soon what was rude and juvenile in 1974 was nothing. While Blazing Saddles had just one body function scene – around the campfire, one of the most shocking ever at the time – a slew of gross-out “comedies” began spewing out. Pictures prodding institutions (Animal House [1978] and Caddyshack [1980]) were supplanted by genuis off-color movies – Airplane! (1980) and The Naked Gun )1988) – which were then taken over by raunch:

There’s Something About Mary (1998); American Pie (1999), and Jack*ss: The Movie (2002). Those were followed by the reign of Judd Apatow whose Superbad (2007, MM #732, 2) remains the nadir of recent “comedy.” The original Dumb and Dumber fits nicely along this time line – more stupid than gross but still plenty icky. The sequel jacks up the yuck content; it’s acceptable today, but would’ve made The Philadelphia Story’s Cary Grant pass out in the 1940’s. The plot For 20 years, Harry (Jeff Daniels) has been visiting Lloyd (Jim Carrey) at a convalescent home. Finally, the latter informs the former that he was just faking being incapacitated. Together again, they discover a 20-year-old postcard from Fraida (Kathleen Turner) that says Daniels has a daughter – which comes in handy since he needs a kidney. Carrey and Daniels discover the baby girl was given up by Turner and raised by a rich professor, Dr. Pinchelow (Steve Tom). Now an adult, Penny (Rachel Melvin) is very dopey; still her father wants to send her to represent him at a convention where he will reveal the

Dumb and Dumber To

Aptly titled Starring: Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels Directed by: Farrelly Bros. Rated PG-13 for: language, grossouts, inappropriate behavior email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man greatest invention in mankind’s history, worth billions, encased in a small box. That’s enough to inspire Tom’s gold digger wife Adele (Laurie Holden) and secret cohort Travis (Rob Riggle) to try and knock off Melvin and get that box. Daniels and Carrey bumble their way toward the convention. There, they get quite a shock when it comes to Melvin’s true birth line. And that makes Carrey’s personal sacrifice unnecessary. What works You gotta laud the two leads for being so stupid. While it might not be too out-there for Carrey, Daniels just won an Emmy for his dramatic work

on The Newsroom. They’re so committed to being beyond idiotic that sometimes you can’t help but laugh. Melvin sells the idiot girl part and kudos to Turner for being the butt of a very immoral character. Best of all is Riggle who is the most consistently funny guy in the movie. Some of the sight gags work, but it’s the wordplay that garner the most chuckles: like “water under the fridge” and volunteering at a “leprechaun colony.”

The soundtrack has a Guardians of the Galaxy old school vibe. You gotta smile when you hear Firefall’s classic “Cinderella.” A trio of camouflage scenes is funny – and there’s an end of credits joke worth staying for.

“welp, see you later!”

Best scene Both Daniels and Carrey have daydreams as to how their lives might have turned out differently. Daniels’ is funniest, but both are the highlights of the movie.

Summing up Twenty years later a sequel arrives and plenty of people who liked the original are now 42 instead of 22 and aren’t finding Dumb and Dumber To nearly as funny. Growing up stinks.

Angel Band due in Azle Dec. 7 Greer’s Christmas Tour stops at ACBC, TV special airs in December relationship. A lover of what he calls “the collaborative spirit,” Greer has worked and recorded with the likes of Sandi Patty, Sonya Isaacs, The McCrary Sisters, and Phil Madeira. He’s thrilled, though, that it’s Morgan who’s coming to Azle with him on the Angel Band Christmas Tour. Morgan’s 2014 Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Song of the Year was for “Hurricane” which she co-wrote with Matt Bonleewe and Natalie Grant. Although it didn’t earn the Grammy, it was the title song on Grant’s 2014 album of the same name. “She’s a legend in Nashville songwriting circles and in Christian music, and she’s celebrated for her artistry, as well,” Greer said of Morgan. “Cindy and I began to notice, in our own neighborhoods, that people were having to make serious choices between keeping the lights on or putting food on their tables,” Greer said. “That’s just not a choice that should have to be made.” But it was in the face of that real need the two friends recognized an opportunity to be grateful for what they have while helping those who don’t have as much. That’s when, in 2012, Hymns For Hunger was born. “We’ve performed more than 75 dates across the United States – including some special performance at Billy Graham’s Library, Samaritan’s Purse, National Religious Broadcaster’s Convention, and Amy Grant’s “Tennessee Weekend,” Greer said. “The tour has raised tens of thousands of dollars and

thousands of pounds of food and clothing items for our neighbors in need across the United States along the way,” he noted. N o w , Greer is excited about returning to his hometown – to visit his parents, Tim and Jane Greer, as well as longtime friends and mentors like June Haptonstall and Connie Deweese, and Cindy Morgan and Azle’s Andrew Greer bring their Angel Band Christmas Tour to Azle at 6 p.m. Dec. high school 7 at The Meeting Place at Ash Creek Baptist Church.

by carla noah stutsman Azle folk will soon have a unique opportunity to fight hunger locally, enjoy world class entertainment in the form of a Christmas concert and – for many – meet up with an old friend. Azle native and 2013 Dove Award-nominated singer-song writer Andrew Greer and his good friend, Cindy Morgan – herself a 12-time Dove Award winner and 2014 Grammy nominee – will bring Greer’s “Angel Band Christmas” Tour to The Meeting Place at Ash Creek Baptist Church at 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7. The tour’s name is a nod to Greer’s critically acclaimed 2013 collaborative album Angel Band: The Christmas Sessions, which reached the Top 10 iTunes mainstream Singer/ Songwriter chart. And while the event is not part of the duo’s Hymns For Hunger Tour, admission can be obtained by bringing nonperishable foods, which will be donated to Azle’s Community Caring Center to help feed those less fortunate in Azle and the surrounding community. “An Andrew Greer Christmas” will be filmed in Nashville Nov. 20, and will air throughout December on TBN. The TV Christmas special will feature Morgan, Point of Grace, Jaci Velasquez, and Nic Gonzales. Greer, a 2000 graduate of Azle High School who earned a bachelor’s degree in music from Nashville’s famed Belmont University, says his friendship with Morgan began with a mutual love for hymns.
