    I was pioneering in MA. On one occasion, I joined a RI group from Providence and I worked with Larry Minor & John Crispin.

    It was XMAS time. I remember Larry singing the Brenda Lee song (Rockin' around the Xmas tree) at the door and shocking the householder who blurted "I thought you people don't celebrate holidays!".

    I also got caught mimicking John Crispin's voice, which he never got over.

    back about 13 years or so ago....

    john crispen was a fill in c.o.

    it was at about this time, that the tribunal leaders had decided to parade my skills in front of the man, to get me appointed as an elder.

    that, and some personal issues, as well as alot of things i saw going on that started to bother me, led me to write my letter of resignation as a m.s.

    after the rituralistic wends. night pep rally one night during the c.o. visit, i decided to go over everones head, and hand that letter to the c.o. personally, j. crispen.

    then it hit the fan. those "boyz" got their perverbial ( | ) 's handed to them in a large way, for lots of resons they deserved, and for not seing it coming.

    i'm glad i was able to help out !

    to this day, i never knew what had gotten into me, but i was sure glad i had the balls to make a stand.

    I live and grew up in Rhode Island, and hung around with the Gott boys in my teen years. Nice guys in general. I can't recall too much else about them, but it was all positive. I do seem to remember that Fred was well-known in the local witness community. Who was the other Gott brother - was it Carl?
