Sorry; I don't know anything about John these days. I just wanted to go on record as saying that he had one of the best smiles, and biggest hearts, I ever saw. What a nice, nice guy. I hope that you find him.
Yes... John was in the choir for years. He's a short fella with a BIG smile. Are you serious? He's still at HQ? I had thought he was elsewhere as well...
Yes he is still at hq, as of a few months ago. I only spoke to him a few minutes that trip but prior trips had asked him why no longer singing, said he needed a break, also was in a different dept, although I can not recall what it was. I use to work with him a little in Founders Hall when there was a need. He has a beautiful heart and voice.
VERY good at interior designing a Founders Hall room
Yes, John can design well. I worked with him in printing services. Those room in Founders Hall had painted block wall. Some rooms were powder blue (puke!), light green (bigger puke), or yellow. They all had indoor/outdoor style carpeting. John made his room in to a beautiful place to come home to. He maneuvered a way to put up sheet rock to have "real" looking walls. He even put some beautiful sconces on the wall. And it was better than any girl's room looked.
He did a little show-and-tell one Halloween. Even the directors were taken aback.
When I went on Staff, they had a night for everyone to walk through the rooms in Founders Hall. It wasn't by permission. We were told what was going to happen. I guess everyone swallowed that koolaid. It was interesting to see what people were doing with their stale rooms.
John was the coordinator for the foundational pfal class I took in Lansing, MI October 1985. Whether by design or not, the date of the first session of that class was 10/10/85.

Not sure if I have the correct person here, was he in the chorus for years?
If it is the same person he is still at hq, was in the bookstore behind the counter when we were there for our region showing a few months ago.

I can't believe that John is still involved with the way....
I would have thought that he would have seen the darkness and got out a long time ago........
He used to sing a song....
"I used to be a burned out hippie...
now I'm a beacon in the night..
I used to be a burned out hippie..
but now God's word is my light(?).......
I believe he wrote it...
Does anyone remember him singing that?...

They never did that when I was there. Sounds like some type of. .., well you experienced it.
John did that of his free will. It was a cool sight to see. Didn't convince me that I'd want to stay at Founder's though.

He's still there. I could be mistaken, but I believe he's singing again.
