I don't remember Willi Pena (last post was an HCO post) and never met Ilona Lagowski-Miami Public
Betsy Blair was SP declared in the early 80s (82-83?) when we got hit by the inafamous Int Finance Police with Don Larson. I don't think they're on staff anymore. She was indeed the former PES, Miami & her husband Bob Blair was at one time the Miami ED (short lived) He was replaced by Bob Levy, who was married to Toni Levy who worked in the art dept, making the promo pieces & org. mag. You can see their names (Bob & Betsy Blair) in the new or recent Mighty Miami (e-mail) leak. I just read the postings & looked at all the pics - mostly all MM Org old timers. I left Miami in the late 90s but was staff & public till then. I went to the Freewinds in the early to mid 90s, myself.
I saw Shaun and Vicky Carroll at Wayne Eisenman's home in Clearwater back in 2002-2003 (my Clear memory's kinda foggy
Shaun & Vicki were both lead sups at one time under Don Pfendler (whose name I also "surprisingly" saw on the Mighty Miami leak I mentioned) They were both good guys & I believe are STILL IN. Vicki was always a very caring person. They were both my sups, too. ;-)
I saw Fred and Kate Figueroa last at Wayne Eisenman's Clearwater home too. Fred was (THE BEST) SSO, for sure & he and Kate who was Qual Sec for a while (her last post, I DO believe) bought a home in Wimoma, FL on Fla's west coast between Sarsota & Tampa. I also went to the Portland Religious Freedom Crusade with Kate, Laurie (forget her last name) & Canadian DMSMH bookseller, Robert Durkatch - remember him? Fred was the best. Such a smart guy and must've had a photographic memory or close to it. He would always have a reference (page no. and all) ready for anyone.
"Liz-She was my Junior in Div 6, Miami. Had a son, Josh who used to run holy terror all over the place, lo!
"
I remember a Josh but he was Judi Blum's son, if I remember right. She (Judi Blum) is still IN and her name appears as "contributor" to the new Ideal Org bldg on the same leak I mention. Do u rem Liz's last name?
Cat Fox-Former BT-eyed ED of Miami Org <= I know her 2 sons, Kevin & Craig Furlin and that she was replaced as ED by Sue Vespi who was married at one time to "BLOWN" staff member, Norman Vespi (whom I was SHOCKED to also see pictures of in the leak I refer to. But I don't remember seeing Cat. She was also my auditor on several FPRDs
Freddy-Worked with Bookstore Officer, Miami. <= Is this Freddie Romero? He's STILL in & his name is on the "leak" Very good guy. Always with a smile on his face. Very friendly.
Guillerme-Worked in HCO recruiting Staff. Verrrry handsome and sweet guy
Guillermo, yes... Guillermo Perez and his son who was on staff at leat till very recently or since I lost touch with them in 2004. I actually TRIED to get Gui out and he confessed being disaffected for a long time but since his son, Damon & his daughter (who lived in L.A. with his ex-wife, Barbie) were STILL IN, he was afraid to be "disconnected" from them so he then changed ALL his phone numbers and I could not reach him anymore. He did so because he wanted to cut comm with me, I'm 99% sure.
That's too bad. I DID try. He's not on staff and hasn't been for a while and said he almost wound up declared at one time due to his disaffection.
Laurie Thebom-former receptionist at Miami <= I rem the name but I also knew two other Lauries, one was in the Public Division when I got in back in 1978 & the other one, well, she had diff posts but I believe she ended up working in the bookstore after Gino Cocomir & then Glenn Miller were ousted. Gino was SP declared by the Int Finance Police and became a Buddhist again, which he was prior to his involvement with Scn. But I think Thebom is a diff Laurie. Actually, other Lauries are vaguely coming to mind so, I'm not sure.
It's been a while.
Bob and Tony Levy: Both worked I think in HCO, Miami. Maybe at one time they were HCO but Bob was the Tech Sec for a LONG TIME and then he even became the ED -as I mentioned- But I think Tech Sec was his longest post. Toni worked the longest in Dissem working on the MM org mag & promo and always kept to herself but they were BOTH very nice. Bob was also a bit of a comedian - great guy, I agree.
Eden Schlein/Furlin: Was receptionist at Miami <= She then became HAS and she had the hots for Craig Furlin (whose borther Kevin was an auditor & had the same lisp as their mom, Cat Fox) I never knew there was an "Ed Furlin," much less that Eden married him. I don't think Eden ever married anyone but I could be wrong. Craig eventually married this Ecuatorian girl, Mimi was her name but it didn't work out; even though, they DID have a kid together and then HE remarried, I don't know whatever happened with Mimi. She used to have an apt in Brickell Ave (where btw, the Miami Org started - in a house in Brickell Ave) Her dad had money & paid for all her expenses. She was a spoiled "daddy's girl" brat. I never thought she and Craig would last, as he was ESTO & had gone on that famous mission to L.A. trying to get all Execs in MM Admin Trained. I don't know if u were around back then but that's when this guy who was good friends with Craig -and another SUPER guy, friendly and good sense of humor- FREAKED OUT (had a psychotic break) & I remember being part of his "Baby Watch" team. WoW it just came to me: Jim was his 1st name. I can probably rem his last name if I try.
Were you staff or public?
Who else did you know or remember?
How about the Caulkins, Dave & Nancy? When were you in? Remember Dave Tropf? He was ED back in the late 70s, early 80s who also got SP declared by Don Larson's Int Fin Police "mission" They were ON A MISSION!!! Ahh, THAT explains it. :-X
Leah Abady, the chief reg (possibly became Dissem Exec/Sec? She's been on staff since the Brickelll days, as were Bob & Toni Levy, Sue & Norman Vespi, Fred & Lisa Fifueroa (who had 2 girls and one boy together b4 divorcing) Rem Shaun Fig, Fred's son? I know all three joined the S.O. but I don't think they made it but could be wrong, again.
Anyway, I remember TONS more people but I'll end this here and hope you reply.
I don't know if you're notified of these so I'm also going to PM you. Okay.
Hoping to hear from you,
An old timer, myself
25+ yrs in, FREE for 5 ;-)

He still has those soulful, kind eyes, I see (and still in, I take it?).
