still wondering

John Blaney (what an arrogent bumptious fellow he was)

Tug Wilson (Smith Wilson ex flying squad circa 1960)

Ken Richmond (bang the gong guy on Rank films & ex Olympic Games wrestler)

John Wynn went to his heavenly reward a few years ago.

While we’re reminiscing does anyone remember the Wembley assembly in the early ‘60s using both the stadium and the hall when as part of a demonstration a very loud motorcycle ridden by a "Rocker" dressed in leathers startled the entire audience by roaring onto and around the large platform?

A warning I think that motorcycles are evil and from the debil or was it perhaps leather jackets? It made such an impression on me that I forgot which, so to be on the safe side from then on I assiduously avoided both. (became a "Mod")

Is that the same guy who was in Fort William, or am I thinking of another one?

Gah, this is so tempting, but some gossip is too salacious to post, like other COs who ran off with people. Needless to say the individuals are already to be found on our list.

Anyhow, Ole Ted...

He loves to use the District Assembly time to go on his vacation, usually by visiting a congregation and often in Scotland. He visited us a couple of times, so we returned the pleasure by staying in Bethel a few nights shortly before I DAed

After his wife died he managed to retain a double room. His office basically has Penthouse views of London, and his job entails double checking purchase requests from foreign (e.g. third world) countries and editing them if he thinks he can find the item cheaper somewhere else. It might only be for pennies, but our Ted will cut that corner.

It was on that trip that I found out he's also on the Writing Committee. I hadn't believed reports that non-Anointed folks wrote for the WTS, but here was one inthe flesh, so to speak. I also found that he had a penchant for getting new Bethel boys to wash his car, watching them throughout the process, and then criticising then for the quality of the job.

Personally I found him a lovely guy on visits, but I just it goes to show how anal Bethel can make a man...
