  Hey there, fellow XJWs!

  I am looking for anyone who is from the Toledo, OH or Monroe, MI area or anyone who camped in our yard during a convention around 1968.

  I grew up in Monroe County, MI and moved to Holland, OH as a teen, but know many from both places. In Toledo, went to Jackson, Dorr St and Oak Openings Congregations. In Monroe, went to Monroe, before it became two congregations. I left the organization in 1979, at age 21 (you can figure out how old I am ...LOL).

  In particular I am looking for the Jay family (Tom & Helen are the parents)... esp Kathy, Steve, Wade and Jenny.

  I am also looking for Dave and Dale Thoman (Dale & Elaine parents) and Greg Ferguson (from Toledo, mom is Ann).

  However, if you know me or even if you don't, feel free to write to me. I grew up as Sande Barrett, daughter of Leroy & Bertha. When we lived in MI we had an inground pool that everyone swam in, and one year we even had a campground on our property that we operated for a convention. Perhaps you stayed there?

  I look forward to hearing from more XJWS!!!

  Hi alec,

  My name is Jesika and I was born in Toledo. My father went to the Jackson cong and his name is Mike Thoman. Dale is my cousin (I think).

  I live in Texas now, but I do know Dale. I haven't talked to him in many yrs and he is still a JW, I got disfellowshiped when I was 15, that was 12yrs ago.

  Do you know my father??

  Yes, I know Mike, too, but not as well as I knew Dale and Dave. Is your dad still a JW?

  He might remember me as Sande Barrett, of the "Barretts who had the pool in Temperance." I think that's how our whole family is remembered. Sad, huh?

  If I remember right, my niece (she is my age) Sue Korecki, used to have a mad crush on your dad. LOL

  Small world, eh?

  That was my same thinking "small world".

  Yes, my dad is still a JW.

  I left Ohio when I was 2 and then moved to TX when I was 4. So, I don't remember very many from there unless my parents talked about them.

  My mom and dad are no longer together. They are both remarried and my mom is no longer a JW.

  You know Dale's wife?? Katherine?? She recently died of cancer. I wish I could have gone to the funeral, but I am sure I wouldn't have been welcome. I didn't have the $ to go anyway.

  Oh, I I think Dale was my uncle, not my cousin. I was thinking about Doug(being my cousin), not Dale.

  OH, BTW-----WELCOME TO THE BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!
