I was in my junior year of high school (at an IFB school) when our pastor announced the death of Lester Rolloff. I remember the comparison being made to the prophet Elijah going out in a chariot of fire and Rolloff going out the way that he did. Not sure about the source of information regarding the airplane, but it is quite inaccurate. I was at Hyles-Anderson 1984-1990, and the plane was not there then. We moved out of the area in 1995, and it was not there then. We did return for a visit in 1999 or 2000, and it was there then. I'm not sure when the plane showed up, but it would have been between 1995 and 2000. We were in Texas from 1995-2006 and remember well the reopening of the children's homes in Corpus Christi. David Blaser was pastor of Miller Road Baptist Church and was the founder of the alternative licensing organization that certified the homes for the reopening. While there is no proof today, there were plenty of rumors about Roloff and sexual affairs. I remember tal
