We, THE DUNN FAMILY, proudly present this our first album to our many friends and fellow laborers in Christ. This album is dedicated solely in memory to The Rev. and Mrs. Elmer Mowdy. Brother Mowdy, the father of Marlene and grandfather to Melissa, Donnie Ray and Tammy, has been a dad to many people in the gospel. Though he is in glory with Jesus, his prayers and encouraging words live with us day by day. Though there are many others who have helped and encouraged THE DUNN FAMILY, we believe Brother Elmer and Sister Ethel have been the greatest inspiration and help to us as a group and family. Words could never express our feelings and appreciation, but one day in Glory we can tell them to the fullest just how much they mean to us. Sister Mowdy’s bright smile and firm faith is still as true and helpful as it was before Brother Elmer left us, to be with Jesus. As we remember Brother Mowdy, we can still hear the words he spoke so many times, “What Will YOU Do With This Man Called JESUS?” May this album always bless you and lift your Spirit and Soul in Christ. Yours always in Christ THE DUNN FAMILY THE DUNN FAMILY SINGERS: Lead - MELISSA (DUNN) HILTON Tenor - JUDITH (DUNN) FRANKLIN Alto - MARLENE DUNN Baritone - FRANK DUNN Recitation - JACKIE HILTON Lead Guitar - DONNIE RAY DUNN Piano - TAMMY DUNN Mandolin - JAY DUNN Bass Guitar and Harmonica — TOM RUSSIN THE DUNN FAMILY c/o Frank Dunn 3229 Atoka Lane Kingsport, Tennessee 37660

HE’S GONE TO THAT CITY OF BEAUTY, WHERE THE LAMB OF GOD IS THE LIGHT, YET HIS WORDS IN MY MEMORY STILL LINGER . . . “SINNER YOU’D BETTER GET RIGHT!” OH WHAT A DAY OF REJOICING WHEN TOGETHER ON STREETS OF PURE GOLD WE CAN WALK AND THEN TALK THROUGH THE AGES OF THE STORY WHICH NEVER GROWS OLD.

We follow grading parameters from Goldmine Magazine:
Mint (M)  Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect.  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.  An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. 
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.  Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.  Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. 
Very Good (VG)  Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.  Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. 
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. 
Poor (P), Fair (F)   The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
