There may still be one or two changes

Helpful Note:
The books listed below may not always be readily available new from our two friendly suppliers even though they try hard. In this case please visit your closest
Mennonite Historical Society. Manitobans have the added advantage of visiting the Mennonite Heritage Centre archives at 600 Shaftesbury Ave. Winnipeg
where Alf Redekopp is most knowledgeable and also a former cruise pilgrims. Californians should visit the CMBS Historical Library at the back of the Hiebert Library at Fresno Pacific University to see Kevin Enns-Rempel and Paul Toews.
