"Mark nevejans" I worked with his brother in the garage. If I remember correctly mark got married and moved to a bethel in south america (I think.)
"Terry Lafferty" When I got there he was kinda bethel heavy. I believe he was a dept. overseer and he gave one of my newboy lectures. -

Does anyone remember Fred Curry who was the asst. pressroom overseer in the mid-90s? He was a single brother who had several run-ins with pressroom personnel. He was cool to me, but an ass-hole to the masses. Or how about Anselm Packnett who oversaw tape duplication in 360 Furman? Very jovial and funny sense of humor.
If it's the same Fred Curry, he is in Washington State now. I think he is still single. This one was at Bethel for some time. I knew his sister quite well. His mother and my mother were good friends too.

Also,

Gary Davis (We worked together in the shipping office.)
Bob and Alice Deaton (Alice was one of my wife's [Dianne] good friends.)
Mark Nevejans (Mark left JWs at the time he left Bkln Bethel, to the great disappointment of his mother and younger brothers)
Warren and Dorothy Weil (Dorothy was one of my wife's best friends. I expressed a few of my doubts to Warren, and he turned me in. I got a call from the gov. body office [David Sinclair]. Fortunately I remembered that Fred Franz had made comments in the sauna that stirred up the questions I raised. The sauna was located just across from my room in the 119 building.)Anybody here remember the following?
Eric and Elfriede Anderson, Roberta Anderson, Russell Armacost, Fred Barnes, Walter Bennett, Tom and Gloria Cabeen, Cal and Zelda Chyke, Tom Combs, Joe Eames, Charlie Fekel, Doug Gielenfeldt, Gene Glazebrook, George Hannan, Klaus Jensen, Karl Kramer, Joe Luebeck, Warren and Theresa Manns, Bill McInnis, Harry and Rose Peloyan, Keith Perkins, Bill Peterson, Natheer Salih, Mike Siemens, Mike Smilnak, David Smith, -- Ahh!

I was in Brooklyn part-time from June 1955 to July 1958 and then full-time up to December 1985 when I got transferred to north of the border. I left Canada Bethel and JWs in June 1994.

Common mind,
Good catch! I was trying to remember a guy who looked like Denzel, and his name just wouldn't come to me. So I jotted down Denzel's name in hopes that the correct name would pop into my brain before hitting the submit button. Well, it didn't, and I still can't remember the guy's name. Maybe it'll come to me after I get some sleep.
Thanks,
Frank

Anybody remembers a guy named Rutherford? Big, tall guy with a voice like God......had a nickname....I think "THE JUDGE"......
You guys/gals are funny!! Do you know what you are doing? You're linking those names (of legit JW's, heavy Bethelites) FOREVER with material on this site. If somebody enters one of those names into Google, (just searching for a old lost friend) HE WILL END UP HERE!!!!
Keep them coming....

wunce_wuz,
Last I heard, John Ekrann is an overseer in Patterson. He oversees either the entire Information Technology and IT Support or at least one of the three divisions.
