Karter, thanks for the info on Ridling. Always liked him and Mary. They settled in our congregation when the finished the circuit work. That dude had the best eyebrows.
You don't happen to originate from the central north by any chance do you?

Vin Toole
Isn't he their big-time lawyer in Ingleburn?

Vin Toole appears to be the "big-time" lawyer as he is named on most of the important financial and corporate matters.
Ms R. van Wilson legal counsel got the job in the Inquiry into handling of child abuse. She handled
matters much better than O'Brien the Director and acting Branch Coordinator.

Des Zanker, now there's a name I know. I remember him as being in the old Strathfield Bethel.
May GAYXJW mate, has a good Des Zanker story. Apparently, he was in the same circuit as Des, and after the sunday session ended, Des comes up to my friend, and asks, "Whatcha doing tonite, got any plans?" My friend said "No!" So Des says, "Can you keep your mouth shut?" My friend blinked, but said he could, so Des says, "OK, but you really must not tell anyone." My friend agrees to secrecy and wants to know what its about, So Des asks, "Will you come to see, "and God Created woman" **with me? My friend agreed.
So they went! and, Des's last words, as they went their various ways home, was- " Remember, please don't tell anyone, I'd be in trouble at Bethel if anyone found out."
** "and God created woman," was a really hot (for those days) skin flick, starring Brigitte Bardot, and with tasteful naked views and a really steamy kissing scene (as I recall - I went to see it on my friends recommendation - it did nothing at all for sexual self-control) Here's why?
Teenaged orphan nymphet Juliette (Bardot) is a sexual free spirit who likes to shimmy around Saint-Tropez in bare feet, among other exposed parts. Her pouty lips, tousled temptress blonde 'do and a body that the New York Times described as a "thing of mobile contours -- a phenomenon you have to see to believe" cause all sorts of lusty complications for a couple of brothers and a wealthy playboy.

Although I haven't visited Australia, a few have visited California and I enjoyed meeting Bill Hosking, Shannon Farmer, and Don McLean. Also, Grundy's son (does that count?).

I was going to add a detail yesterday, but thought better of it. But, seeing how you found this boy's night out, story, hilarious. Maybe, you'll laugh even more, with this added bit:
You may wonder why my friend (the GAYXJW) agreed to go. The truth was, my friend says, that he thought Des was quite good-looking, and wanted to get a bit closer to him, and as the movie progressed, he had to really fight hard to resist a desire to put his arm along the back of Des's seat, and his other hand on Des's leg to see what was happening there. (grin).
