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.
