FORMERLY from Hollis Congregation in Jamaica, Queens, New York
I take the name Shirley W from one of the "40 plus year female roomate" couples that went to Hollis, I remember first meeting them when I was about nine or ten years old. . . . I turned 52 this past December. . . . . go figure . . . they're still "strong in the truth" (LOL) but now attend another congregation and still run their Alvanos Piano School in the Jamaica, Queens section. The other member of this lovely couple used to pioneer for decades. . . but I'm sure there are other stories you all could tell me from all parts of the world that sound exactly the same!
