For many years, I have followed Willie Wynn and his music. The first time I saw him, I was about ten years old, and I was immediately hooked on the Oak Ridge Boys. As we left the concert, I wanted nothing but Willie's solo album, "I'll Walk With God". Although I now have a rather large collection, it is still a very special item to me and I would never want to part with it.

As I've followed gospel music throughout the years, I've never ceased to enjoy Willie's singing. Not only is he a wonderful vocalist, but he is a great person who always took time to talk to me. I was just a young kid who was enamored with gospel music and I had nothing more to offer. What I had to offer didn't matter. Willie had the patience and kindness to make me feel important. During this time, the Oaks were at a peak in popularity in the gospel circuit, but that didn't matter. He always had time to spend with me. I was made to feel important by Willie Wynn. It is no wonder that he is known as "The Man with a Million Friends".

I now consider Willie and Sandi to be my friends, and I personally would like to thank them for their kindness and their ministry throughout the years.
