IAN STEEL
Lay Leader
We moved to Vail, Az about 7 ½ years ago from Montana. At that time we became members of the FUMC Tucson. 3 ½ years ago we decided to become “summer people” in Show Low. We really liked the WMUMC especially when Pastor Amy took over and transferred our memberships to WMUMC. My wife Bonnie and I like quilting, RV’ing & camp; cruises.
