My grandparents, Rev. Glenn and Ruth Weslander lived in Santa Barbara and bought the property that I eventually purchased and now reside in the early 1960s. I never knew my dad and my grandfather was my father figure. He was a man of compassion and integrity, with a great sense of humor, and had a deep faith in Jesus Christ. As a pastor, a carpenter, and a friend, he was the example of "Loving People to God," a statement that now hangs in the sanctuary of the church he once pastored, which is now called SouthCoast Church.
