Chapter 3 of The Finders

The Finders Network From The 1960s to 1987 According to Finders Network Member Tobe Terrell - Part 1

Robert (Tobe) Gardner Terrell Junior was born in 1937 in Ocala, Florida. Terrell’s father, Robert Gardner Terrell, was born on August 22, 1909, in Pike, Mississippi. Terrell’s mother, Annie Cornelia Morris, was born in Florida. Terrell graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Florida in 1958. Terrell married Carolyn Jones after graduating from college in Miami in August 1958. They moved to Washington D.C. Terrell got a job in Washington D.C. working for the United States Internal Revenue Service Appellate Division as a certified public accountant. Terrell allegedly met Finders Network leader Marion Pettie in December 1971.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Tobe Terrell supposedly met Pettie because a friend of Terrell’s, Michael Helping (unknown if this is his real name), visited Terrell in Washington, D.C., asking Terrell to help him find a job. Terrell sent Helping to a real estate developer, who hired him. Helping returned to Terrell, thanked him for allowing him to get a job, and told him that he had moved to a commune where the construction crew lived, and that Terrell should visit them. Terrell went to the house the construction crew lived in, which was located on the corner of Newark Street and Wisconsin Avenue. On the door, Terrell saw a sign that said, “Knock loudly Nymphs dancing.” Terrell knocked on the door, and Finders Network member Barbara Sylvester opened it. Terrell mused in his book The Gamecaller that Sylvester and the other women present covered themselves hastily because of his unannounced arrival.[9]
