Speaking of Lord of the flies, that was Marc Rosendopes favorite movie of all time. He even played it for every house on several occassions. Marty too liked it alot, but mainly for the teenage boys wearing underwear and dressed as Marty's IMR colonists.

Who were the rapist, that I have no information on. As far as abuse and being a thug. Your right I am guilty by association.
There is no refuting.  Have one new resident witness a ring run by a director with staff present that new resident would think all staff and directors were like this. Have Joe scream and debase someone and you would think all do this.  Well this was not true, Ed Freidman was the Director of E-5 and he never put a resident in the ring. Thought it was barbaric.  Many other staff felt alot that went on at Elan was wrong but did we say anything to stop it while working there, NO. Did I ever say anything, NO. I did not openly talk about it until 9/1/09 approx.

 

 :shamrock:  :shamrock:

If you and other staff saw all the horrific beatings and felt they were wrong, "Why did you continue to work there?"

There is really no good answer to this question. I was a young stupid kid with bid expectations that I never saw materialize. It is fucked up, trust me I know.

Danny

You have been asked, "Why did you continue to work there?"  This question has been asked multiple times Danny and you still take the easy way out like an ELAN staffer would.  Take accountability like a real man would and get honest with yourself like you did in AA group for fuck sake!

Danny Bennison ELAN Staffer in 1978

"[We] were whipped into a mob," says Arnold, an ex-speed addict who'd arrived at Elan in 1978 after a phony suicide attempt forced her affluent Ridgewood, New Jersey, parents to seek professional help. "It was brainwashing. People like Kim were gonna be junkies or hookers if we didn't make them get their shit together." Arnold soon added her voice to the eardrum-breaking sound of 100 young adults caught up in the adrenaline rush of anger. To an outsider, it must have looked like mad­ness, a Lord of the Flies outpost with castaways who were regularly dressed in tinfoil, diapers, and "hooker" skirts. Some had signs around their necks that read: I’M AN EMOTIONAL VAMPIRE or ASK ME WHY I’M A BABY or CONFRONT ME AS TO WHY I’M A WHORE. All were red with rage. "Kim," Arnold recalls, "was semi-catatonic."

Danny >  This is the place you chose to work at!  Do you remember Arnold?

No I don't remember Arnold, 1/78 I was in Parsonfield and by 3/78 I was Ass.Director at E-7 which was behind E-3 heading towards the lake on the left.

I will not argue any of what he is saying because it is true, why would I want to dispute someones experience, I have never done that concerning Elan and its residents.

Did you ever see Martin L Kruglik, Joe Ricci or Jeffrey Gottleib do the following:

1:  Beat students
2:  Rape students
3:  Send students to the ring
4.  Verbally abuse staff

Danny Bennison's co workers (partners in crime) @ ELAN
1.  Jeffrey Gottleib
2.  Martin L Kruglik
3.  Joseph Ricci

Yes your right. I did work for them. Marty was my Director at E-5 for most of my time there.

Danny

Were there other corrupt staff at ELAN?  What were their names?

[The Elan Reporter]

Martin L Kruglik, beat and rape residents? Nah!!! Marty would never do that!

Hi yuh yuh yuh
Hi yuh yuh yuh!

Why did you wait until after the skakel conviction to go public about ELAN?

Here is some information for ya, Michael came to Elan one late afternoon in early July of 1978, he was brought to the conference room at the office, I was off that day at home in Windham Me. I got a call from Marty to come in Joe wanted to see me, I did but Joe wasn't there only Marty and Jeff G. They said they had a potential resident in the conference room and wanted me to do the intake evaluation. I was asked by Marty if I knew anything about a murder in Fairfield County,CT. concerning a 15 yr old girl who was bludgeoned to death with a golf club, by a cousin of the Kennedy's named Michael Skakel. I said no how could I, I was at Elan at the time in Oct. 1975 as a resident.

Well that being said they asked me to start the evaluation by asking him about the murder. I remember feeling very intimidated by this because I had no training, education or experience in interrogating (not evaluating) anyone especially for a murder.
I was also somewhat excited also because I went ahead and did it.

The long and short of this encounter with Michael is this, he never admitted anything nor gave me information about anything. He laughed and thought the whole interview was a big joke, he laughed about Martha's death and felt very disconnected (my opinion) from her. This was one of his friends he grew up with, she lived right next door, he had very romantic feelings for her and he acted like all of this information meant nothing once again (my opinion). He insinuated his brother Tom knew more about this incident then he did by deflecting all questions toward the end, "ask Tom and Tom would know". I guess that is more then a insinuation...lol. Anyway the dude was very weird and uptight and at the conclusion of our meeting I left with a genuine feeling in my gut this guy knows more then he is willing to admit. Michael knows what happened I can't prove that.

Do I feel that my assessment and report to Marty and Joe reflected exactly that sentiment yes it did.

When Michael finally came back to start his residency and was subjected to the abuse he went through at first I felt he deserved this (I know this is sick on so many levels) because I believed he knew who killed Martha (I still do), I don't have that same believe. Michael was abused by Elan for no justifiable/rational reason at all. It doesn't make a difference if he did it or not, he still should not have been abused.

Danny

You know who killed Martha Danny?  You naughty little boy.

Unless you have plagerized that story about Michael's first day,its a bald face lie Dano
That is my belief
Michael,another Michael,and myself were bunkmates for over a year. I never heard these stories you are telling,and everyone used to tell their stories,as to how they were, when they arrived. I am having a hard time understanding your purpose here, and who you really are. For some time you have left a distinct idea, in everyone's mind, that something with you is very out of place. Your words never add up. Your timelines are off. I could go on but ...
I know I am the Big Bad Art and all.. but I didnt just fall off the Turnip Truck and land in Northern Il.
Everything you write is refuted. You surround yourself with contraversy (did I spell that right)
You are active in every forum,in multiple threads,kicked out of a few of them places,and still you pick another thread to ...Do whatever you are doing??? Could you enlighten us please ? Is it attention you seek ? Or is there something else ?
I talk to Michael (many letters) all the time. He has never mentioned you. Nobody forgets their 1st day at Elan.
I dont believe you are who you say you are. I also dont think you are here for the greater good of anything
I'll be watching you

And just when you thought it couldn't get anymore convoluted.

First off I have no big agenda here, I don't float around threadjacking,  most threads I talk on is to rebut someones crap like yours here. Now just like you said you talked with Harry Kranick all the time (bullshit), now your saying you write letters to Michael (bullshit). Art if your looking to shake me or try to skip me up you can't because everything I say and do here is the truth. "CHECK IT OUT". If you read my post it was not Michael's first day I interviewed Michael in July, his first day was not until late August early September. If Alan Frey was still alive (God rest his soul) he could second everything I'm saying since he was my roommate and fellow confidant. Why would Michael tell you about that interview it was not that special to him as it was on my part. I'm sure after he left that office he went back home for another month and a half and continued to get high and drink. I don't believe I left that big of a impression. Now on my behalf it did leave a impression how many folks have interviewed a dude who potentially murdered a women.
Another thing Art, your not going to be able to recollect anything I am talking about because as I was leaving Elan you were just getting there if in fact you got there in 1978. I left in 11/78. I worked as a Ass.Director with Joe Rodriqiiz at E-7 just down from E-3 on the left. Used to be the cottage I slept in when I first got there.
Art I leave a (distant) "distinct idea in your mind", you don't know me dumbass. What is the big idea. Go on my facebook site look up my friends and you will find several friends from Illinois who were at Elan ask them about me. You folks have had access to this for what 9 months now but no everyone wants to run around saying, "Oh I don't know you, nobody knows you". I have befriended all of you at one point on my facebook site, all of you could have gone through my friends list, most of you found Marty why not the others, because you weren't there with me. Mike O'Neil was staff and you don't even remember him, Anna Goodman was staff, Tracy Robbins, Sean Ohara, all these folks and more were staff in 1978 through 1979. Did you know them Anna Goodman and Alice Dunne were roommates, Diane Hozman ran Elan 7. Do you remember the Elan Mens fast pitch softball team of 1979. I do I was there for a game in June of 1979. Do you remember Tommy Agos and Carmela Cuccaro. Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about Art. I have so much information I have forgotten more then you'll ever know about Elan.
I am the real deal, my problem here is you folks. You, Felice, Mark, Tim, Sharon, Matt busting my balls from day one. You want answers well I have them but I want a responsible, competent, even tempered, individual to ask me rational questions without being sarcastic. Ya know Art this is a very vulnerable subject and very hard to talk about. So help me to trust you and I will answer any question you want. Just stop telling me I don't know what I am talking about.
It is like a paradox you folks want answers from me and at the times I try, then you throw it back in my face and say I am full of shit. Then you want answers again then the cycle happens again. Well I am ready to stop this circle.
