Dick
Hines
Baritone
I
was born in Danville Illinois. My father was a member of a
quartet but it was my mother who had the most influence on my
singing. I didn't pursue my musical abilities until
I was about 36 years old, when I began to sing in church after
having received Christ into my life. My wonderful wife Georgia
and I were married in 1970, and we have four grown children. God
has really done a wonderful miracle by rekindling our marriage.
I am a member of the Cerritos Church
of the Nazarene. Music, motorcycle riding and golf are my
favorite hobbies but music with Rekindled is at the top of that
list.
Along with singing in the group I also
handle bookings, song selection, do some arranging and organize
our bi-weekly practice sessions. My love for Southern Gospel
music was stirred up by Lyle's involvement with the WSGMA as
their sound technician.

Chuck
Wallace
Bass
I
was born in Seattle, Washington, and later we settled in Mesa,
Arizona during my junior high and high school years.
I started learning guitar while watching my dad play. I developed my playing style by listening to country music
and from accompanying during church song services.
My wife, Kathalyn, and I have two grown children, a daughter and
a son. I work as a
manufacturing engineer, and we attend Cerritos Church of the
Nazarene in Cerritos, California.
My hobbies include music, song writing, and a whole host
of other pursuits, if I only had the time!
I play guitar lead and rhythm and do some arranging as well as
singing baritone or bass.
I
was saved at the Church of the Nazarene in Mesa, Arizona during
a revival when I was 16. I’m
thankful to God’s keeping power and an “up-to-date”
relationship with Jesus Christ today.
While attending a Songfellows concert one evening with my
wife, three ladies behind us began talking about a group that
needed a guitar player. My
wife overheard the conversation and told me about it (wanting me
to “say something” to them!).
While I was hesitating, she gave the ladies our phone
number, and Dick called me the following evening to join
Rekindled. It is an
honor and a privilege to play and sing with this group because
we all have a desire to share Jesus through our lives and
talents and see others come to know the Lord.

Retha
Higley
Tenor
I was raised in a small town in Oklahoma. My love for gospel
music began there at a country church where those loving people
encouraged and nourished my interest in singing and playing
piano.
Consequently, my life has been filled with many musical
endeavors in various ensembles and choirs which eventually led
me to directing music. Singing, traveling, and recording with
Rekindled has fulfilled the dream of a lifetime for me. Being
used by God to encourage and rekindle the faith lets me return
some of the blessings given me.
I sing tenor and occasionally play keyboard for the group.
My husband, Paul, and I currently live in Gilbert, Arizona, near
our family.

Mark
Hudkins
Lead
I
was born in Downey, California in July of 1963 and raised in
Southern California. My mother was an Illinois glass worker, and
my father was a Tennessee musician born in Mississippi who was
attracted to Southern Gospel music from an early age. He sang
from his early teens until he finally went to be with Jesus in
the early '70s.
My wife and I have three children. I am currently working as a
full-time webmaster. Some of my hobbies include motorcycle
riding and flying airplanes.
I received Jesus when I was in the 8th grade at a school
revival. I was directed by God in 1998 to clean up a few things
in my life that were not pleasing to Him. and shortly after
that, I got a call from one of the quartet members asking me if
I would be interested in trying out for the quartet, and the
rest is history.
