The Straight Jacket 1985-1987
« on: March 01, 2006, 05:53:00 PM »
I was in Virginia and Stoughton 85 to 87 respectively.

It's like a bizzaro high school, where I know more about my fellow StraightMates than I ever cared to, yet it would be so difficult to have a reunion. I am torn between wanting to speak to those who have experienced the wierdness, and just wanting to pretend it happened to someone else.

Forget all the nonsense and people being rude on this forum. To all of you who are thinking independently and critically now...I send you my love and respect.

I have now had two of my friends die from Straight/post straight abuse and depression. I wish you all peace:

Pam Lawrence (missing, homeless)
Janina Moore
Christine Brady
Mitzi
Julie M.
Damon M.
Chris Min.
Chris J.
Buffy A.
Jean Con.
Irene B.
Patricia B.
Peter Coyne (dead)
Chris Bartoloni (dead)
Peter and Barbara
The Yates'
Joe Matz
etc.

Peter Coyne was stabbed to death.

He was in the front seat of a car with four others who did not know him well. He was annoying the shit out of one guy in particular. He wouldn't stop arguing (you know Peter, I assume). The guy stabbed him from behind.

Apparently not everyone liked the way Peter answered a question with a question.

I remember how Pete used to rock back an' forth in his chair constantly.  He came in shortly after me.  I was on the 2nd or 3rd row when he was on front row.  Other kids would try to hold him still but he would just keep rockin' back an' forth all the time.  He would end up restrained on the floor quite often due to his rockin'.  Although, he did intentionally misbehave quite often, I don't think his rockin' was a conscious form of rebellion on his part so much as I just think he had some emotional or psychological condition that caused him to rock like that.

He was an influence on me similar to the way Steve Mathews was.  I picked up on his rockin' as did many others in group.  I just caught myself rockin' back an' forth in my chair here in front of my computer and thought of Pete Coyne.  He gave me a habit that I still have 20 years later.

Remember all the nervous energy in the group ??  How ever'one would be bouncin' their knees constantly and rockin' back an' forth in their chairs ??  It was just all that repressed physical energy and restrained emotion comin' out in physical ways.  Sometimes I still bounce my knee like that too.  These are some of the physical manifestations of patterns of thought that I became attached to while in $tr8.  Makes me wonder what other patterns of thought I am still attached to but am unaware of, due to their less obvious symptoms.

Fuck. There's alot of heavy chain yet to cut through. :skull:

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

Hi:

I'm Denisha. I was there whith my brother Sean, and a few other kids from my home town (Scituate, MA). I think Straight gave our town a group discount or something.

Ssend me a private message if you can. I'd love to catch up.

The wierd thing about Peter Coyne is that he had no verbal filter at all. When he met my mother he promptly said "I bet you look hot in a bikini". Fortunately, we knew Pete's condition, so none of us paid any attention to the many uncomfortable things he said.

After Straight, I introduced him to my boyfriend (non-straight) and Peter of course mentioned something about what it must be like to sleep with me. I had to jump on my boyfriend's back to keep him from killing Peter, and explain that he's missing more than a few neurotransmitters.

His death was sad, but probably inevitable I hate to say. Unless you knew him, you could easily think he was looking for a fight.

Too bad. Nice family, the Coynes.

Hey Father,

Please tell me you'e not really a Father, collar and all?I hate uniforms.

Anyway, I can't remember you, not because you're not memorable, but because I never got within eight feet of any guys the whole time I was in Straight.

Pam. yeah. Sad. She was my best friend. We rented an apartment after Straight together. Her poor dad is hearbroken. I could spell the whole downfall out for you, but it wouldn't be fair.

But I'm well. I live on an island off of Gloucester, travel and read all the starchy Russian novels I dodged in College. Sailing, hiking, two kids, great husband. It permed his eyebrows when I told him about Straight. I don't know if he fully comprehends, but how could he?

Where are you from?  Did we know eachother?
I'd love to remember you.

Denisha
