Hi Tom! {hugs}

FaceKhan:
Hey Tommy. Actually I had some interesting news hit me the other day. Another friend of mine who was sent to a wildnerness program last summer, and had a considerably worse experience than Alex, told me that he was about a hairs thickness away from being sent to Hyde afterwards. He had to get a D in some stupid summerschool class in order to avoid it and he managed to do it by stealing the exam. His mother is a psycho, and his father is weak-willed. I spoke with him for several hours about it all, and he seemed very angry about it in general.

In a disturbing development, his program is apparently owned by Outward Bound which has generally stuck to voluntary wildnerness adventures before, but has a small number of 'thereaputic programs'. He described Outward Bound's Ascent program as being staffed by the same kind of ill trained, brainwashed creeps that work in a lot of the less reputable companies.

Hey, I'm pretty sure Ascent is run by the Mormon Church, isn't it?

I don't know who owns it but I sure hope it ain't Outward Bound ! I would also like to know if it was this allegedly OB owned wilderness that referred this kid's folks to Hyde. I thought that Outward Bound had learned their lesson about Hyde in the seventies! You see OB ran the wilderness component of Hyde's early summer challenge program for a while. According to the story that I remember OB severed their relationship with Hyde a couple of years before I landed there in 1976 because they thought Hyde's people were nuts.
