Reception

Our Wedding

It was 1977. A new pastor and his beloved wife, Rev. Leonard and Betty Quick were on the horizon for Second Baptist Church in Forest Park, GA. The last of four children, a son named Gerald, remained at home to finish school at Morrow High School. At 17, sports, fast cars and guitars kept this young man on the move. She was 14 1/2, a 9th grader at G.P. Babb Jr. High, a member of the church since 1st grade. Having just reached the church's youth group, Karen's runabout schoolyard years were barely behind her. Her heart was open to God's Word and a song always on her lips. Music was her heartbeat. Little did the two know, church and music would bring them together.

Rev. Leonard Quick, Gerald's father, was the driving force organizing the restoration of old Bark Camp Church. Mr. Quick and his family were members of the church in the late 40s and 50s. He was ordained as a Baptist minister at Bark Camp in November, 1953. Gerald's beloved mother, Betty Quick, rests in the family plot at Bark Camp cemetery.
