Chet Lemon

He was a professional baseball player with Detroit Tigers and he became JW in the 80's. I was wondering what is his status in the org?

Originally with the White Sox's and then became a Tiger.....sorry Sox's fan here!

As for his status in the org. I would have no clue!

Lou Whitaker was also a JW- converted by Lemon. Alan Trammel studied but never came in.

Confession

Here's an article that's about five years old. It definitely suggests he strongly believes it's "The Truth."

Some dude came on here a few months ago w/ a story quite similar to Lou Whitaker's. It caused quite a stir w/ some of the posters. Here is the thread.

I met him at the Janesville Wisconsin assembly hall back in the late 70's when he just was starting to study.

Knowing who he was made it kind of un-nerving to actually meet him ( being a teenager myself at the time.)

If you notice in the article it refers to his wife " GIGI ". His wife's name when they were associated with the cong in Troy Mich. was " Valerie ". She claimed to be of the annointed. So, something must have happened to Valerie for them to be divorced. ????

He was in Florida for a while... my son (who is now 27) attended his baseball camp. I think my son was about 10 or 11 at the time.
