Yea, I knew elizabeth, that's very sad news.  She must have been there a long time b/c i thought she got there around time time i did, early '93.  We weren't close, but, speaking from what I sensed from her, MMS was maybe not the best place for her to get the help she needed as I spoke to her a few times after we had left.
Also, more than a few people know the details of her untimely passing as it was posted on myspace.com alumni forum.  
and yea, they invited everyone to the reunion,  i was invited so...nuff said there.

Anyway, never met u cotter, but glad to hear you are doing well.  

Oh, one more thing, I wouldn't call MMS a prison either, but only b/c prisoners have more rights that we did- namely, due process.  I never saw leaving MMS as  truly a feasible option, esp because i was reminded constantly that it was the place I needed to be (despite the fact that i never received the help i needed).  No bars is very convinient point, but when you fear leaving more than staying, no bars are necessary. That, of course, does not mean that you are free to leave.  I wonder, how many you other girls felt you were free to leave MMS??
For me, I knew I needed help and, given the constant reminder that MMS was the last place that could offer me the help I so desperately needed and the guilt I felt over being such a bad (that is, depressed) kid along with the fear my parents and i would never have a good relationship, I followed the rules.

Hey Kat,
Don't think you knew Elizabeth...might be thinking of another one.
She came after I came...in around late 94-early 95...Sorry....
wrong name...Actually i understand how you can confuse them cause at that time, if i remember correctly, people were coming and going as quickly as you could turn around. Member the 94 graduation and the run aways...hehe, funny to look back on.
