    Anyone remember Blalock, he is retired and living in Georgia, US.

    Great speaker but always a chip on his shoulder, could not stand kids, never talked to his wife,he stayed in brother's home and moved around like he owned the house.

    Everytime he would visit our cong. he wanted to work in the black section of our territory ( he was white), being a southern boy maybe he coped with an inferiority complex and did not want to work in white rich territory.

    Most of the other CO and wives were OK

    Those car groups with the CO were hilariously ridiculous. Some bro who hadn't made a meeting or service in mos. would chime from the back of a van with 8 people and declare -" 'Bro. C.O.'-------I feel that that last door I was at could have been better had I used p. 19 of the reasoning book"----and on an on ----all the other dingalings would chime in with 'encouraging thoughts as well". This would go on for the whole trip in service---and since I was a M.S.--I was later counseled for not wearing a jacket (100 degree weather)--and was scolded for taking off my tie to eat at break. I thought I would be pelted with stones when we took our break and were eating pizza-----No one would loosen up---I looked at the C.O. and said---"Ya Know Bro. C.O.?----------nothing is better than a good pizza and good beer"-------------the STARES and SILENCE were classic---------I didn't feel out of place at all---------The C.O. looks at me with a smile and replied---"I know exactly what you mean" ---He was a cool C.O. ---- of course I was soon removed but------There Ya Have It.

    I can recall three, the first was a fairly humble and self effacing person the second was yelling too much from the platform he was too much of a WTS man and had a power/superiority complex, the third was reasonably decent and well educated but his wife was a touch arrogant and occasionally offended people.
