Dr. Mariottini,
I saw your blog, your CV, and your love of the OT, and I have to ask if we had a mutual friend: Dr. Robert L. Cate. He was my Hebrew 1 professor at Oklahoma State. I then went on to seminary and am an associate pastor in Iowa now.
Did you know Bob?

Hi Frank,
Dr. Cate was my professor at Golden Gate Seminary. He was a good teacher and I appreciated his teaching.
I am glad to know that you found my blog. I hope some of my articles will be of interest to you.
