Hi. Bill Baldwin here. Glad to meet you! You can call me Bill, Coach Bill, Pastor Bill, Rev Bill, Mr Bill, or anything kind. I’ve been around since 1960 so I’ve been called a lot of things.
I was born rural in Redwood Falls, MN. Raised in St. Paul Minnesota, Loveland, CO and White Bear Lake, MN, where I live d from third grade onward and my mom lived until dying in 2022 at 92. I treasure every growing up home.
I was raised Catholic in a very laid back Catholic Church that made growing up Catholic just fine. Even while in high school I had nudges about becoming a pastor.But I knew I didn’t want to become a pastor. Next post, more of the story.
