Earl Tyson describes meeting his wife Betty Jo on a blind date. Walking to a movie, she stopped him at a train crossing and said, “Let’s get one thing straight, Earl Tyson, I am not going to marry a preacher.” He came from a family of preachers and became one anyway. He uses their courtship to make his larger point, at the 1997 Minnesota Koronis CFO, that identity belongs “to a person” and not to any cause.
