Hazel at the North Central Bible College library in Minneapolis, MN, (hmhayton@topaz.ncbc.edu) researched the Aggie story and tried to find the book, "Aggie" for me and found that some of the facts Rev. Wilkerson stated were not quite right. First of all, the name of the book is "One Witness" ISBN # 0-8007-9088-X. Second, Mr. Hurst was president of Northwestern Bible College in Seattle, WA, not NCBC in Minneapolis, MN. Just thought you'd like to know.
