Edward C. "Ned" Prettyman, was a parishioner at Christ Episcopal Church. He lived in Rockville.

In the mid- 1990s, he taught classes at the Johns Hopkins graduate school of engineering. Mr. Prettyman was born in Olney and graduated from Richard Montgomery High School. In 1957, he received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of South Carolina.

Wallace Oles Keene. Wally served Christ Episcopal Church in many capacities. Wally was happily unique and often surprising--he made the atrocious pun in the name of his consulting operation, "Keene Ideas," not only acceptable but right on. A native of Washington, DC, he was a math graduate of Florida State University, and received a master's in business administration and operations research from American University. He served in the Army from 1961 to 1967, including tours in Vietnam, leaving as a captain. Wally was a managing partner of Keene Ideas, Inc. providing reinvention, reengineering and information management consultant services and educational programs to public and private sector organizations and to academia. A well-respected man, Wally's contributions to our Church, his fraternity, academia and our country will not soon be forgotten.
