You are correct about Denise and Chandru. And thank you for being so open, honest and correct about all this stuff ... without any of the negativity and confrontation we have become accustomed to from the BK corner. I am sure a lot of younger BKs would be very interested and grateful to know all this stuff without having to badger the diminishing and scattered few old BKs. It would also give us the chance to peer review "official versions" and fill in the jigsaw puzzle.
That version sounds fairly good but it is missing Englishman called Simon; the Yagya's blue eye, blond hair superstar of those days. I think he pre-dated Hansa and it is a wonder that anyone can forget him. I am not sure why he left. I remember he went out to San Antonio and did a lot of service, especially in the media where his face fit well.
Eromain and his family also pre-date Gayatri, so if he has time, he might comment (They were pre-1976 and remember the effect of the failure of the prediction). There was a black Brother from the Caribbean that wrote on the old xBKChat forum who went to the US. We called him "hanuman", I think. did not Aiden and Ken ever spend time in the US or only South America? Aiden left, Ken is still in and involved in service business. The Brothers opened up the continent.
(May be this part of the topic should be split to BKWSU America topic).
