ahhh - John Cutforth. Thats a name from the past!!
He went on to look after maybe Papua New Guinea, or Japan, or something like that. A most famous name in the JW history of Australia.

Cutworth seemed nice enough (brain washed with egg nog).
9. George Hamnet - Still serving from Sydney Bethel (me thinks). Lovely ol' George. too gentle, should have been a doctor instead.
10. Phillip Hayworth - Elder (?) on Sydney's leafy North Shore. Brilliant mind bent byone day reading a stray watchtower.
11. ?.Miller - Curreent whereabouts unknown. Liked to preach the evils of aluminium cookware (probably dead from stainless steel poisoning.)
12. Ben Dykstra - currently overseeing quick builds throughout the islands of the pacific (a rotten job but someones gotta do it )
I wish I'd written all their names down, especially the Queensland firebrands (Qld is Australia's bible belt - font of tollerance and wisdom - NOT!)
Don McLean has been Branch Manager since Habakuk was a boy. If only we could convert him from his secret Ham radio club to secret internet posting.
