The following story (only a part here) was on the internet, on the page
the Southern Baptist have for up to date articles pertaining to the current
Sunday School Lesson. It quotes an article from PEOPLE magazine. I wrote
to another Cosby descendant and she suggested that I put it on the Causby
mail and see if anyone knows of this hero (in my opinion). She is a
resident of AL and had received a copy of a video on Jesus.
This Cosby may not be of my line, but I would claim him anyway!

bert Cosby is a retired Alabama physician. Last year his stock in USAirways
took off, giving Cosby a huge return on his initial investment. Amid some
opposition, Cosby chose to spend almost 2 million dollars purchasing and
distributing a video about Jesus to every single household in his state!
One student in Birmingham who didn't like Cosby's action volunteered to
gather the tapes, erase them, and donate the cassettes to local schools.
Pressing on, Cosby says, "The physical will eventually die, but we can
salvage the spirit" (PEOPLE, 6/15/98, 159).
