Monta Vista names include Jack Burgess, Eppler, Prewett, Thomas.
Frenso names include Elga Vaughn, Florence Vaughn, Barnes, McDowell. The students and teachers are all African-American.
Apostolic Holy Ghost Revival Tabernacle was pastored Pastor Vaughn. Associated with the church was a white guy named Richard Hancock.
Donnie Smith pastors in Porterville, CA.
The school in Weedpatch is administrated by Dearl W. Dawson. Teachers are Rita Dawson, Elias Durante and Mavis Turk.
There are lots of pictures of teachers and students. They all have the Pentecostal look with regard to holiness standards.
I have no idea who any of these people are. There is no mention of the AA, PAW or UPC. So they might be something else.
Any ideas ???
