    Are you serious!!! I roomed with him for 3 months. He was my first eoommate. Only problem was he kept telling me I should spend more time in the library and less time playing basketball.

    Then one day I came home and he separated my dirty laundry in the little net bags... I was like this is too much. Then I moved in with a smelly guy from Kentucky named Kevin and wished I could have had Joshua back

    Although I have never been to bethel and am not from the Americas, I found this thread of great interest. It helped to put a human face to the magerzines.

    Anyone remember Charles Banks? He was in cleaning in Brooklyn, but I think I ended up at the Farms or Patterson. Anyone remember Jared Lopes? He is a waiter who I believe is still there.

    Thank you for this thread Black Man, it is so interesting to me, even though i have no idea of any single person mentioned. It is seeing the reactions, the connections, that is so interesting. stories etc.

    I was hoping to hear that Glen Partridge (from MA) had left. I know Phil Lofgren and Paul Schleppy left Bethel and went on to extremely successful careers (both are still JW). I'd love to know what happened to the Helander's, Solar's and Michael Taylor. Jonathan Ignacio didn't last long at betheL. He got in trouble for "flaunting his wealth" (Still JW).

    confusedandalone: Bobby Riviera. That name sounds familiar. Which department was he in?

    Anybody remember Danny DeMatteis? And his wife Eleanor? They were originally from Detroit.
