At the right in the CT Lanyon kitchen, is a picture of this Hebrew Christian, (age 88 on September 26, 2006, a completed Jew on October 19, 2003) .

I first met Bernie in fall of 1992 as I took my parents on the Lady Fenwick, a Connecticut River Boat cruise, as I showed them CT. (It was the first and last time Jim and Jane Lanyon both were able to visit me in CT. They lived in North Central Colorado.)  Visiting with a lady friend on the boat that day we met "Bernard Meisler, Sr." He was 74.

A Chance Meeting

Bernie lived at a Hartford Nursing Home [Alberta Manor), and we struck up an immediate friendship. I offered to take him to church and bought him a Bible. Not willing to discuss personal level religion then, God did a work and, 11 years later in 2003 while living in a Manchester Nursing home, he came to our church and was later baptized on Memorial Day, 2004. A movie for you to see of it is here.

6 months later, attending church weekly 3 times, Bernie knew he wanted to please Jesus the Messiah. He obeyed Jesus' example of Baptism.

Bernie's New Family

You have never seen someone so thrilled to be included in such a big lovingly warm family. 

 Bernie's Christian Barber is Br. Joe Picard, 

 a professional barber, still working at age 76 in East Hartford's Professional Barber Shop.

 Rob Hamilton takes Bernie out to eat often, and is a real encouragement to him.
