Just read through this entire post! I knew alot of CO's that were already mentioned: Jim Pellacia wife Renatta, Tony DeCinti ( Total Nut Job), Rathtopolis.

Here are some I remember and did not notice listed:

My first one I could remember was Nick Karamelis, Gibbons, John or Paul Madsen ?( Loved Brilcream, wife Barbara), Gibbard, Sam Wiger (white hair and gold tooth), Conte, Chamikalis.

One CO retired and was living at the Monroe, N.Y. Assembly Hall. Does anyone remember his name? I think he was Greek? I believe he has since passed away.

Wish I could remember more.

My Fav was Pellacia.

My least Fav was by far DeCinti with Madsen a close second. DeCinti once told me that going into a burning building to save someone was easier than going from door-to-door witnessing. Huh!!! If he was still alive (he has passed away), I wonder what he would have thought of those words on Sept. 11th!!! They used to call Madsen a 90-day wonder like the military term of the guy who pushes through to becoming an officer real quick and knows little about leading troups into battle...that was him alright!

Anybody remember the Casper twins? Their favorite expression was "as it were". The worst CO was the angel of death, Terry Angelacos.

He [Conrad Mack] struck me as someone who was there to "Clear out the cong" and he went on a rampage of public reproof. Everyone was terrified of him. Hopefully, when you saw him he had changed - it sounds like he had. My parents still have photos of him. It was still very upsetting to hear about his death.

IBD, I can see where you're coming from. Conrad was a very strict guy, but coming from a very conservative congregation and having grown up in a very conservative family, I was probably used to that.

I remember at one talk he was giving at the end of the visit, he actually roused on the "trouble-makers" of the congregation (didn't mention any names of course) and told them that they were wasting time that he and the elders should be spending with those who really needed spiritual help. "THANK YOU VERY MUCH" he told the trouble-makers!

I'm sorry to hear that he was murdered. He had a daughter living in Tasmania, and he had a second wife, who looked about 10 years younger than himself. I wonder how they are doing now?

I remember his wife, I dont know whether she was the first or second though. Thats funny about what he said about the trouble makers, that sounds just like Conrad. When he moved to another circuit, everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Gates was the biggest asshole that came to our house with the PO and my dad was an elder also. He came to put my mom in her place after she came home from the hospital and my dad wanted her disfellowshipped for another stupid reason. By the time they came in the house Gates was already red faced and ready to make mincemeat of my mom. I was pretty young at the time but Gates came in the house and pointed his finger at me and ORDERED my to go to my room "Little girl!"

My mom was shocked and speachless and then Gates started tearing into her right away about how she needed to straighten up and start behaving like a proper elders wife yadda yadda blah... then my brother came out of his room and started yelling at Gates to shut up and not to talk to our mom like that. hehehe. He was a teen and a bit pissed off. He blasted Gates with everything that happened when my mom was in the hospital and what he did to her when she came home.(he was an alcoholic...ect..) and she refused to stop being annointed. That put Gates on the spot and in front of several people who over heard and his tune changed in a big hurry. Then he started telling my dad and the PO Louie P Sr. off to save face. What an ass he was.

Then when Floy'd Kyte came again the same thing as usual, Except this time during his talk he made a coment to the congergation "When a brother approaches me and requests a home visit because he is having problems with his wife, I already know what the problem is." BWAAAAAAA! everyone laughed. Kyte was good at making everyone laugh and still make a valid point.
