I agree on the "students" reference. Also, if there were any "records" of any type left over from Straight....our activism against the perpetrators would be very different indeed.
I think there were some 50K or more....not as much as 100, but more than 27. Out of some 5-6 hundred kids I know went in and out the Dallas doors in the roughly 3-4 year time reference I was aware of....only about 10-12 of them ever have posted here more than a few times. So if thats any indication of the awareness of who was in, thats a sad deficit. Being that therent arent any records left that anyone outside of the straight-Nazi camp are ever gonna see....I dont think its too far off, the higher estimates I mean.
