Mr. Fletcher met his future wife, Penny, 30 years ago when she ran a stop sign and slammed into his patrol car.  Although she couldn’t talk her way out of the traffic ticket, he talked his way into her heart.  The couple was married less than a year later.  The traffic citation Allen gave to Penny is framed and displayed proudly in their home.

Allen and Penny Fletcher are Christians and active members of the Spring Creek Church of Christ. The Fletchers have two daughters and a son. 

The Fletchers’ son Blake, a military policeman, recently reported to Fort Benning for an anticipated deployment to Iraq.  Their son-in-law Greg, a National Guardsman, recently completed a tour of duty in Afghanistan.  The Fletchers ask that you join them in praying for every service member and his or her family.  Please pray for the service member’s protection and for each family to feel peace about their son’s or daughter’s safe and expeditious return.
