Horrible Life,
You mentioned Leroy Langan. Not sure if he had a Bethel background. He became a Circuit Overseer in August 1970. I was a young Congregation Servant(Overseer) in his first congregation visit. He was from Tulsa, OK. He married a very attractive sister from Mena, AR. He had some training in geology and had worked for one of the oil companies.
We became semi-friends until one evening he invited my wife and I to his trailer for a turkey dinner. He had bragged about his wife's oyster nut dressing. The dinner pleasantries ended abruptly when Leroy learned we didn't know how to play a certain card game. He became annoyed and opened up a newspaper to partition us from his face. We left quietly not knowing what we had done wrong.
I ran into Leroy years later at an assembly. He was in news service and wanted to stage some phony action shots of the characters in our assembly drama. I let him know that it wasn't a war drama. Lol!
One former Bethelite I am curious about is Roger Ramsey from Arkansas. I think he was on what JT used to call the "fast track". . . .perhaps involved in circuit overseer scheduling. Last I heard he had left the borg and his younger brother Keith was in circuit work.
I'm sure no one remembers my close friends George Pringle and Charles Maxwell. They left Bethel in the 50's. George is in Kent, WA and Charles is in Port Townsend, WA.

He was my table head. I just found out recently that he passed away. I really liked him. He was one of the good guys.

Sat across from her every morning. LOL! She was very pretty. I feel so bad about what happened. I hope she's ok.

Wow, what a list of names.
Brings back old memories.
I wish I could add info and share the names of those I remember or would like to find.
Perhaps when I am completely free.

Are you sure about that?? I haven't heard that. Waters wasn't that old. What did he pass away from? If that's true, I'm shocked, indeed!!

Hey Black Man!

One very reputable source told me that Lee passed due to a brain tumor. I too was surprised and deeply affected by the news. I found out only since posting on here. Pm me, and I can give you more info.

JOEL REED CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I roomed with him for 6 months. Nice guy but you could tell he was very femmine
I often wonder what has happened to so many that I knew at Bethel. Some of them must be old geezers by now, I wonder if they got the boot yet. It would be devestating to them I'm sure.
