Only Dennis Blair has remained in show business apparently.  Blair is a stand-up comedian who was mentored by Rodney Dangerfield and was a featured actor in two of his HBO specials; he also appears in Dangerfield’s 1983 film, Easy Money.  Blair opened for George Carlin for 18 years and wrote a book about these experiences called Me First.  He has a website, www.dennisblair.com as well as a short Wikipedia article; the Holy Ghost Reception Committee #9 is mentioned in passing on the website.
