During seminary, Allin played softball on the "Theolog" team. Here he's pictured second from right with other members of the class of 1945, four of whom became bishops.
Allins were honorees at a special musical tribute during the House of Bishops' meeting in Jackson, MS in 1984. They were given these handmade rocking chairs with needlepoint pillows inscribed, "The Lady Ann" and "His Big Grace."
