  1. DOes anyone know the location? I know it is in the Santa Rosa-Calistoga area but not exactly where.
  2. Me too. Really like that book. Easy to read and appreciate the early history of the organization.
  3. Please refer to the February 8, 1990 Awake for an excellent discussion on the subject.
  4. Agree with the librarian. No one has to open or download the files if they don't want to know. Personal choice. It doesn't ruin the release at the convention, but makes me be sure I am in my seat, listening to the talk. And I have had plenty of experience in attending conventions (baptism in 1942).
  5. There is some confusion about the identity of the attacker. Evidently the individual first named (the Islamic preacher) is still in prison.
  6. Looks to me like the pioneer sister featured in February's broadcast.
  7. I was baptized before the red one (1942) but I have the red one, published in 1944, on my piano now. I played at the KH for years, starting very young since I was taking piano lessons. While I do enjoy the wonderful arrangements now in use, I do miss the "local flavor" of the past pianists. I will miss the song "Flee to the Kingdom" which was song #45 in the red song book
  8. I was baptized in 1942 but I don't remember the song book being used then. The one I remember quite well is the Kingdom Service Song Book which has a date of 1944. I was learning to play the piano at the time so was able to play some of the songs in the book (which I still have) at meeting.
  9. In the 1980's and 90's, my husband and I used to take groups (25) of JWs to New York (50 at a time) to visit Bethel. Our highlight of the trip was to escort any who wanted to go to meeting Sunday morning to the KH in the 107 building. There would be visitors from all over the world, along with various members of the governing body and their wives. While escorting the groups through the various buildings, we would run over to the 107 to visit with Russell Kurzen who was at the front desk. When we went to Europe on the Arosa Star in 1955, we met him, along with many other "old timers", and it was always encouraging to renew our friendship with him.
