History
MCTC Inc -- Marvin's Corner Teaching Center -- is the result of one man's daily interaction with another person during and after life in San Francisco's Delancey Street Foundation.
Marvin Tobman was Jon Schmidt's best friend and guide during approximately 3 years out of Schmidt's 5 year stay in DS. Shortly before Marvin died he engaged Schmidt in a promise that Schmidt would dedicate his years to providing for people the same things and more that Schmidt received in Delancey Street. Specifically that the business model and therapeutic structure be altered to be more educationally oriented.
This new place was to take the best of the place where Marvin was cleaned up, called Synanon, and mix it with DS and other bold non-profit self-reliant programs of that day. The goal was to produce a residential facility that taught functional work ethics. A place dedicated to the return of the addict whenever possible to the world as a whole, morally awake, human being and which provided a home for those too scarred by the system to ever find a comfort zone in the world outside of MCTC.
MCTC is designed to be a moral standard bearer for those who seek a functional and real example as to what a clean and free life is dedicated to and based around.
Lastly MCTC is in existence today based on Jon Schmidt's love for a very complex man named Marvin Tobman and his best friend the founder of Delancey Street, John Maher, as well as the many ex-residents of Synanon that followed the dream Maher made into a reality.

I think that top photo might actually be John Schmidt himself, judging by the previously posted YouTube clips...
