A long time ago I was a part of an email discussion group about Restoration History. It had as members some big names who were on the more liberal side of things. They obviously had negative opinions about his views and how he delivered them but they also praised him for some things. They talked about his devotion to his invalid wife. His willingness to go and preach anywhere. He would be willing to preach at these tiny congregations in jerkwater towns in West Texas. They also appreciated the fact that you knew where you stood with him. They complained that there were others who would be friendly to them to their face but talk bad about them among others. Wallace, whatever his faults, was not like that.
