A conversation between Fred Lukuc and a Catholic girl reveals who some of these were. Here is how he recalls it:

“She asked: ‘Did you go out alone today?’ I replied: ‘No, Rock St.-Gérard was with me.’ ‘Rock St.-Gérard?’ she asked, stunned. ‘He is one of Jehovah’s Witnesses now,’ I said. ‘But,’ she exclaimed, ‘he was president of the association of Légionnaires! A pillar of the Catholic Church!’ Then I added, ‘His wife is also a Witness.’ She asked, ‘Is it true that Irlande Sarette is studying with you Witnesses?’ I said, ‘Yes. She attends our meetings and goes out preaching with us.’ She said: ‘My! My! She was president of the Croisée organization!’ I said: ‘Then there is Lucianne Lublin . . .’ She interrupted me: ‘That makes four pillars of the church!’ ‘Well,’ I said, ‘you should study too.’ ‘I will,’ she replied.”

Those mentioned above and others got baptized at the district convention in December that year​—1957.
