Gauthiers leaving behind a top-rate legacy

Those who participate in Salvation Army worship and programs in Cape Girardeau are undoubtedly sad that Maj. Bob Gauthier and Maj. Joyce Gauthier are leaving after eight years of service here.

Thousands of Cape Girardeau residents have come to know the Gauthiers because of the Salvation Army's outstanding service to the community. Bob Gauthier is going to a prison ministry and his wife to a position as women's ministry secretary at the Salvation Army's territorial headquarters in Chicago. Mike and Mary Thomas, who are moving from St. Louis, will be the new leaders in Cape Girardeau.

Given the good work of the Salvation Army, the new couple soon will have their own marvelous accomplishments to share.
