He survived a body that was slowly breaking under its own weight, carrying pain heavier than any role he ever played. On the set of *The Princess Bride* in 1986, André the Giant stood 7 feet 4 inches tall, towering over cast and crew, while years of strain had left his back damaged beyond repair. The cameras didn’t show it, but he couldn’t perform the action scenes anymore. That’s where Tony stepped in—his stunt double, barely 5 feet 2 inches tall. The crew laughed at the contrast. Two men who looked like a joke standing side by side, one enormous, one overlooked.

Between takes, the laughter faded. André pulled Tony aside and apologized, voice low, heavy with shame. “You do my job because I’m broken.” Tony didn’t answer right away. He dragged over a wooden box just to reach André’s shoulder, looked him in the eye, and said, “You give me work. My kids eat because of you.” The words landed harder than any stunt. For a moment, the giant wasn’t acting. He was just a man being seen.

On the final day, André wanted one last photo. He tried to lift Tony, smiling for the camera—but his back gave out. Before he could fall, Tony caught him, arms locked tight. “I got you, big man.” The photo shows laughter, but later André told friends the truth behind it. The smallest man on set was the only one strong enough to hold him up. And it leaves a question worth sitting with: when strength finally fails, who in your life will still be standing there to catch you?

It is with great difficulty that I must let everyone know that Gary McKiver has passed away. Gary suffered a fall in his garage after which they discovered he had 4 brain tumors. Gary passed away September 16th. Judy has asked for your prayers and plans to come down with her daughter soon. Gary will be greatly missed! Loved to hear him play his accordion!

Thank you all for allowing me to be a part of your worship while you are here in the valley. I look forward to seeing you again in the fall when you return!
May you each have a wonderful summer and may God bless you abundantly!

The high on Thursday, Feb 20th is only supposed to be 51. The temps out on the water would be even cooler so I think we need to postpone our Dolphin Watch Tour until it warms up a bit. I will try to contact everyone personally tomorrow, but if someone was planning on going please make certain that they are aware of the change.
Thank you, Mary Chamberlin

On Thursday, Feb 20th we will be taking the Sea Life Safari Dolphin Watch with Osprey. There is a sign up sheet in the hall if you are interested in going. The special fee we have arranged is $15 per person (normally $20).

Since the boat leaves at 11AM and we need to be ready to board by 10:30 that morning, we plan to leave the hall at 9AM. That will allow ample time for any delay's and hopefully at least one stop along the way.

I am informed that those going must be able to make the walk/ride to the boat and there the crew will assist you in getting aboard.

We will have a discussion among those going that day if we would like to stop for lunch once the tour is over.

We will need people who are willing to drive also. Please put a * by your name on the sign up sheet and the number of people who can ride with you.

This is open to all here in the park and we plan to have a great day watching for dolphins and taking the tour.

Pray for great weather that day! If the weather is bad, we will reschedule.
