Eulaha:

1. Still in Fullerton, going to Assembly meetings

2. Last I heard, in Los Angeles, since Tim Smith is to be working at UCLA

3.  Living in the Fullerton Area but long gone from the assembly.

4.  Living in Brea, near Fullerton, visiting other places of worship but undecided about leaving as yet.

5.  Still in Fullerton, at the Assembly.

6.  According to what I've heard still living in San Luis Obispo (perhaps check with a SLO-ite for more details).

I found this in a thread started by Danny Edwards:
I don't know if it is still valid.

Hi Eulaha,

I see Tamilla Palmer frequently.  She attends the same adult sunday school class that Caryl and I do. (First Evangelical Free, Fullerton)  She is currently taking a missions class at our church.  We, Caryl and I, talk to her often.  

I was told last Sunday that Gary and Robin are attending First E. Free, La Mirada.   Good for them.

Gary, by the way, apologized to me for shunning me.  So far, he is the only one.  Let's see, that leaves about 800 or so.  Guess I'll go sit by the phone.  ;)

God bless,

Thomas Maddux

Eulaha,

Danny and his family are still living in SLO and are involved at Grace Church.  Danny has gone back into the framing business.  I have not spoken to him since April.

I imagine it must be difficult for the former "full-time" workers to go back to work once again, especially after living off of us for so many years.  But who am I, but a humble college student? ;)

What ever happened to:

A. Greg and Marcie Holder (and adopted children)?
B. Bob and Carol Anderson?
C. Keri (Fullerton)?
D. Mike Biddle, Marc Biddle?
E. Luis Vega?

Bob and Carol Anderson:

Moved to Blowing Rock, NC (20 minutes from me) for about a month to take over his brother's house.  Due to things not working out job wise, just moved back to Huntington Beach.

note: NOT 'his brothers house'  ;D

Eulaha,

The Biddles are living in La Jolla, (Mike with his parents and Marc with his sister).  Every couple of months we talk on the phone.  I had a great visit with them in La Jolla in February.

The Holders bought a home in Spokane.  The assembly disbanded.

Louis Vega has stated that he does not want any contact with anyone from the assembly.  Can't blame him.

Whatever happened to Danny Irons?  How about Keren Irons?  Is there any way to contact them?  I always liked Danny, and would like to say hi and find out how he's doing.

Clarence Thompson

Danny Irons is in Bend, Oregon doing construction.
Keren Irons is in Hawaii, married with kids.
Lee Irons was (I assume still is) a pastor in the San Fernando Valley

Go on www.geftakysassembly.com to get Steve Iron's e-mail.  He would know best where they are.  Lee is easiest to find via a Yahoo/Google search as he writes much (even spoke in a conference with Os Guinness.  Quite impressive).

I'm trying to get hold of Zeke Yarblonski, a member of the Assembly back in 1978 or so. He was a rapidly balding, obese, short brother with a serious skin condition. He was known for always wearing red socks, no matter what color suit he had on. He did not use deodorant and he spoke with a lisp. Does anyone remember him? He is the only brother of which I got into a physical altercation and I wanted to apologize.

We had a fist fight before Sunday Worship one morning and I wound up tearing his new suit. He kicked me rather hard and then took my new Oxford Bible and ran down the street. He did not attend any services after that. I would really like to get that Bible back if I could. If anyone has any information please post it.

Thanks.

Joe,

I am very sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but I don't think you will ever see that Bible again.

You see, Zeke was arrested about an hour after the fight.  He had broken into to the Fullerton Park Dept. maintenence yard.  The neighbors heard a tree chipper running on Sunday morning and called the police.  (you know how loud they are)  

Anyway, he was observed throwing an object into the chipper.  He refused to tell them what it was, so samples of the black and white pulp were taken, and sent to the FBI laboratory in San Francisco, CA.

It was determined that the pulp contained both wood products and animal tissue.  So he was charged with conspiracy to dispose of dead animal tissue in a public landfill.

Prior to the Carter administration, this had been punished by a fine of $50 dollars.  But as you know, the Carter administration federalized many crimes and therefore he was tried in federal court, convicted, and served 5 years in the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth Kansas.

I ran into Mona Nucleosi in a grocery store in Anaheim in 1985.  She and Zeke had done some unauthorized "spending time" before YOU horned in on her.  (If I recall correctly, that's what the fight was about.

Anyway, she told me that she and Zeke used to write while he was in prison.  She said that in almost every letter he said something about "getting even" with that Joe Sperling.

As you know, the Yarblonsk's have ties to the Polish Mafia....so you had better keep your eyes open.

The last I'd heard, Zeke had fled north.
He changed his name to Zac or something like that.
You wouldn't recognize him though, he's abandonned the red socks (too loud), lost a lot of weight (prison food you Know), and last but not least he's donned a toupee (grey).
So good luck Joe in your search for Zeke aka Zac aka ...

If it's the same Zeke, I think I heard he is running for governor of California...
I heard an interview where he claimed his platform was "Rid California of cult-like religious groups because we need better products to export than these."
Zeke claimed he's running for governor because of a painful experience he had back in the 70's, but he won't disclose any further details.
His campaign slogan is
"On election day, mark your X next to Z.Y.- Vote Zeke Yarblonski"

(Paid for by the one man finance committee to elect Zeke)

Joe,
     If you really want to find him, look within the group of those who are NOT running for Gov. of CA-- it's smaller...

 ;)al

Thanks to everyone for your help regarding Zeke Yarblonski. I will pursue the leads the best I can. Perhaps you're right Tom--I'll never get that Bible back. But Mona Nucleosi?? MONA NUCLEOSI???? Why did you have to bring up HER name???? That little heifer!!!! Her and Zeke, her and Zeke, that's all I ever heard. Didn't she know she was supposed to be mine????  I flipped the Bible open one night right to a verse that said "and she shall be your wife"---why wouldn't Zeke just accept the fact that the Lord wanted Mona to be mine!!!!???? MONA!!! MONA!!!   Slowly I turn, inch by inch, step by step.....     I'll be back later, I've got to go pick a fight with someone.

What ever happened to Rebekah Geftakys, and her brother David Michael?

Where are the Smiths (Tim and Dawn) and the Hendersons (Matt and Liz) going for worship and fellowship?  What is their stance re: the excommunication of George and his affairs with some of the Assembly ladies?

What ever happened to Randy and Karen Vierhoff (Goleta)?

Anybody? Anybody?

Does anyone know the status of San Francisco? Do they know the website exists? They still receive George -- do they know he has been excommunicated?

I think the best person to answer this is Rachel.  She monitors the web-site and I think she would be the most accurate at giving information of exactly what her sister and brother and cousins situations are.  She and I have discussed this, but I would feel better at first hand information that is discreet rather than second hand info.
