So true. When I was at Shiloh I resided in a dorm room with 2 females who seemed to run the Iowa Impact. They reached out to me and invited me on some of their excursions to Iowa City. I recall them saying Rich Lindy wasn't happy with them because the Impact folks who lived at Shiloh weren't attending the Shiloh services/intercession and Rich made a suggestion that they should move out of Shiloh. The two Impact females said they had Bob McClain's support and they interceded among themselves. Anyhoo, at one point I was invited to tour the Impact facility. Why not? Subsequently, I was asked if I wanted to become part of the Impact team. I said I didn't think so. And I was pretty much dropped by the Impact folks. No more reaching out to me or invitations to go on their excursions. I can laugh about it now. But I am sooooooo glad I never signed on. Still, I loved Bob McClain and I have good memories of him but he was so sucked into it all. I recall when I read about him on Factnet, the poster said Bob wanted to give an inheritance he received to Marilyn, but I think I recall, Bob's family were able to talk him out of it.
