        Outlook Business Manager Honored for 30 Years of Service

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--Close to 600 friends and supporters of the Presbyterian 
Outlook gathered Saturday evening, June 13, for the Outlook dinner, which 
has become a traditional kickoff event for Presbyterian General Assemblies. 
    The highlight of the dinner followed 5-minute speeches by each of the 
candidates for moderator of the General Assembly.  Outlook editor Robert H. 
Bullock Jr. introduced the magazine`s business manager, Patricia Gresham, 
who "may be the best-known person on the Outlook staff."  Gresham was 
honored with a monetary gift and a certificate of special recognition for 
her more than 30 years of service to the Presbyterian Outlook Foundation 
and Outlook Book Service. 
    Gresham began working for the Outlook as a part-time summer employee 
when she was in high school.  Bullock described with appreciation her 
untiring efforts to ensure that customers receive good service.  "She will 
stop at nothing to satisfy the needs of those we seek to serve," Bullock 
said. 
    In an emotional response, Gresham thanked Outlook staff and board 
members, as well as family members, some of whom were present at the 
dinner.  "My heart is filled with joy," she said.  "It is an honor to work 
with great people doing what you feel the Lord has called you to do." 
    Bullock also introduced a number of former moderators attending the 
dinner.  He noted that this is the 180th year of service by the 
Presbyterian Outlook to the Presbyterian Church, and the 50th year of the 
Outlook Book Service.  Coincidentally, he added, Charlotte, N.C., was the 
site of the Outlook's first General Assembly event, at an Assembly of the 
former PCUS in 1975.
