    Hello, my husband grew up in Anderson. He was born in 1969 and lived there until sometime in the eighties...... attended Enterprise High School. Wonder if you might know him or his sister?

    Lived in Red Bluff from 1979 to 1982. My uncle and his tribe are in Anderson. Still JWs, unfortunately.

    My great grandfather, Charles Strong, was the mayor of Red Bluff in 1920. They lived in a great Victorian house, that still exists as a Bed and Breakfast. Mom and her family all lived there back then. She was about 7.

    By the way he was a pedophile, and abused his grand daughters, including my mother............we don't know if he abused his own daughters, but it seems likely. It explains a lot about my mother. Her sisters were normal though.................but what is normal? They don't get weird, like she does. Very sad legacy.

    So, I have lots of extended family in that area, Chico and Paradise too.

    Hi 4christ... You can email me if you would like with the names...

    At the time you were talking about... Redding, Enterprise... were all one congregation. They grew into many rapidly after that.

    I was in the original Redding congregation... when there was no KH and we met at the Old Grange hall... Later the first of three KH's were built in the Redding area.

    Love yas,

    Hi Ladyruby,

    I used to be in Burney CA when I was a kid, I was there from........ hmmmm let me see that was a long time ago.......... about 1968/69 till about 71/72. Do you still live there?? did you attend the KH there??

    When I was about 12/13 my parents moved "Where the need was greater" and they assigned us to Burney CA, my parents were some of the ones that worked to get the Fall River Congregation started. I used to have a lot of friends up there, all JW then but I have wondered what ever happened to them.
