One of the Ledley sisters died of Breast cancer a while back. She got married in PA around 1975. She married a bethelite.
No one remmembers Eva Wilson? She was hot! Im sure I remmember Judy Martin by face or legs but I dont temmeber her name. I looked at every sis face in Bethel and I never forget a beautiful woman.
I didnt like Sydlik. Only gb I did not like.
Gamaliel, If you worked in art you would remmember a bro S. Kolb.(thats not me) The end sheet gluer I remmeber was designed by bros. It stood on the right as you came into 2/7 after crossing the over pass. Where the smashers those noisy machines in the 3floor, or were those the gatherers?
By the way after so many years of making Bethel your career , these bros that put their lives into int sadly got sent home (out in the field)
Reinhard taught Bible classes in Bethel. I remember that. I sat in a couple of times. Liked the bros, respected him, still do.
After work in Beth, some bros would have clasess and teach something. some languages,..etc
Wooodulf sis names were Jael and Linda. Iinda got marrried around 76. Dont recal if she brought her husdband in or if they left.
The basement of the 124 was the laundry or was it the 107? It was an oven down there. They had fans going all of the time but it did not help. I felt sorry for some of the sisters that I knew that worked there. Only one place worse than the Bindery and that was it.
Anyone remmeber the Desmosthenes bros, I think that they worked in the pressroom, Most press workers lived in 58. 58 I remmember was the wildest building. Does bros could drink! in them days, Coors beer was the best, I knew a bro who's dad sent him cases of corrs from colorado, think his name was kerry, also a pressman.
L. Borden worked in Spanish translation. I though she was in love with Dean S. DS is very very frail nowdays. You would not recognize him. He looks very old and weak and even his voice in very weak. I though that DS was one of the most important bros in the wts. The man could do anyhing from lay bricks to design a rocket ship.
Ray Franz was one of the most frequent at Morning worship and at noon who presided. The three main main guys(most heavy) were uncle nat, freddy and ray. Swingle also carried a lot of weight and so did shroderer
Max Larsen was factory overseer and DS assitant (among other respons) but Dean was much more qualified that Max. Max did not need hair he could comb his eyebrows over his head if need be.
DS is an engineer. I think that he was from texas. He had secular trainning. I dont think that Randy W. did. I was surprised how a young bro like Randy knew so much. Some one had donated some monster press to the wts and Randy W was to put it together. Where did he learn how to do that I thought to myself.
Anyone remmeber that bro who plyed the accordion, he played that thing at every bethelites wedding.
Soy burgers for supper and pancakes for breakfast on sundays. Where did they serve super? Wasnt it in the basement of the 124?
Anyone remmeber that husdnabd and wife team gleammers? That couple could gleam! Seconds after prayer aftere the meal if posible before they were at our table. Bro worked in dispatch. They were both kkinda short in stature.
That sentinal watchman duty. I never could find those locks. I didnt like doing that. I was really scared going in that dark room next to dispatch.
Bethel key fit all of the locks. You were in! Even if you went to the farm or to Walkill, that key was all you needed to get in.
How about washing them dishes in the machine room with the rainsuit. Steam WAter all over the place.
key number on your underwear. Did sis get their key numbers on their panties?
One had very litle free time to get into trouble and even less counting dish duties, watchman duties and kh construction...
I remmeber the bus loads of beautiful sis that came in from all over the usa Man, the wts had some really beautiful women I thought. But in the New York cong that we were asigned to was nothing and I visted other congs too and same thing. Some of these Bethel lifers, eventually gave up trying to fing the pretty one and settled for someone in local cong. Im happy for the sis but sometimes I though that the bro made a mistake. Even now, I have heard it still happens.
Who was the hottest sis iin Bethel back in them days?
