That one sounds familiar to me. I'm not sure on the spelling of the names but I remember J F Alee' (pronounced a-lay) and Jaime Renquist.
I believed he married one of my friends who was a good 20 years his junior.
Renquist was/is a flamming asshole!!!! His wife (by half his age) shit canned him and moved on with her life, good for her.
Dan Mower- neutral
Bro Bryant- kinda mean
Lowell Quasney- ok
Sam Waschalk- thought him ok when young, now I think... I dunno, jury still out
Lyman Pinard- Grumpy old man not happy in the work
Don Eslinger- Prolly ok
Ron Coldiron- Great hope he gets out
Bro Brooks- Hope he gets out too
Misterfeld- Arse hole from hell
Chuck Waller- ok, tired, needs to get out.
I cannot remember one name. I guess that says something about my time in the cult, I blocked it all out.
Didn't you just hate the hysterical laughter expressed by the congregation when a CO will tell a lame joke? One elder, especially used to laugh so loud and so hard, it was embarrassing.
I don't remember any of the CO's from when I lived in theh States. But a former friend went into the traveling work, Wasyl Siolkowski. Did anyone ever have him as their CO. Originally from Minneapolis/St Paul.
Canadian ones:
Mary mentioned Rosam. Eugene. Never had him as a CO but he was at Bethel, in charge of writing at the time. He and his wife are now at Patterson. He is in charge of the HLC activities. Lots of blood on his hands now. Kind hearted man when I knew him.
Some repeats of those mentioned by the always lovely Pengy:
C.O.s:
Jack Danley - By the book autocrat. Best remembered for his squeaky voice when getting excited on stage
Olavi Sundvall - Rule monger. Somewhat full of himself. Been beat up by the Society, is happy to stay at the cong level now
Zenny Pasternak - the Ukranian teddy bear unless you crossed him. Good man in general
George Krushelnicki - "Da Krusher" soft hearted grandfatherly man. He and his wife were very hospitable. Liked them a lot
D.O.s:
Wayne Johnson - Jerk.to the 100th degree ... self-righteous dictator egomaniac. Fought with him regularly
Jean Crepeau (from Quebec; great speaker, with a ton of joie de vivre) - Agreed
current CO is marloe.... everone acts like hes an apostle. He's a nice guy and loving but slightly crazy.... lets see i also can think of Chin, Suiter, Milikin, Farrel, Misochec (or however its spelled) thats all i can recall
we had them in our circuit too.............they are the nicest, sweetest people..........darryl and joyce!!!! they were missionaries, til they got pregnant with their only son..........i have trememdous respect for them, although darryl is definitely a company man..........he said one of the wisest things i ever heard: "perceptions can be dangerous" tremendous love and compassion for people and a great hugger!

I was a teenager in Indiana at this time and remember Grizzel. I have the same thought - I kinda liked him but what did I know, I was just a kid.When we had him, he was pretty gung ho in the service. He would be about 70 now I am guessing. He was about 5'8" tall, very wavy dark-blonde hair. This guy was so organized that one time we were at a door, I was about to knock, he stopped me, pulled a little 'call-book' out of his pocket with typewritten RV's in it - looked under our congo pages, found the addy and said 'I'll take this one, Jeff. I placed literature here on my last visit." I kinda liked the guy, really. But then what did I know - I was just kid. I think he was in our circuit Indiana 5 or 7 around 1973-74. JeffAK, wasn't Grizzel the one you could almost bet on that you would not take a single door out in service?
I think he was in Michigan and he hated service more than us!
Outaservice
Ron Powers was my fav.
Chuck Waller- ok, tired, needs to get out.
That's my uncle. I don't see him getting out. He has a cool apostate nephew though...
The Marloes are wonderfull people. My family has taken them out to lunch and dinner a few times and we had planned to get together and play a little guitar together sometime but thats before his parents got sick. He seems stressed and i wouldn't be suprised if he left the circuit work.... poor dude! His wife and him are really loving huggy people like you said.
docbob..........we heard stories about hood.......what an asshole.......he expected to be waited on hand and foot by the local congo when he served them..........also, even though the apartment had been newly renovated and redone, all he did was complain about it........knew illingworth, also........if i remember him, wasn't he a big joker?
mini...........samuelson was a do in our area also......can't remember too much about him though.........
