"Hawley's still listed as staff. Won't HLA give you his contact info? Or has he left, but his name hasn't yet been removed?"

I was pulled before graduation, and apparently HLA doesn't care much for that, so I was told I had "lost student privileges" ( attending friends graduations, reunions, writing current students, and the like.)
I haven't bothered trying to get contact info from them.
Even though I didn't leave under hostile circumstances, my peergroup was told they couldn't keep in touch with me because I was a "negative."
They did anyway though, so thats how I know that my leaving was spun into a big dramatic issue with my parents being labeled as codependents and I was, of course, the master manipulator who "brainwashed" them into pulling me.
:roll: Yes, you heard here first folks, it was NOT HLA, but ME manipulating and brainwashing my parents all along! bwahahaha...
So... I'm pretty much disinclined to hope for any help from HLA, and think I'll save myself some time, patronization, and cold-shouldering by not putting myself in that position and, instead, going around the machine and it's bureaucracy by dealing with people who worked there, have no agenda to push on me, and (hopefully!!) are willing to help me out.
It's basically an unwritten but well known policy that non-grads are treated as if they never existed. I saw them cut out of group photos by staff, and once someone "escaped" it was kind of taboo to discuss it, so I'm under no delusions as to how I can expect be treated if I I call requesting their assistance.
Although, ironically, perhaps due to some oversight, my parents STILL get the school newsletter and have even been contacted as potential donors!!!!!??
But NO they didn't give a red cent to them or their construction of some giant chapel (or whatever it was), which was probably a good move on their part, considering that from what I've gleaned, it turned out to be a a giant INVISIBLE chapel... and my parents are both very visually oriented...

Either one of you have his email address?
(Although it wouldn't surprise me if Hawley didn't have one!)
And again, please let me know through a PM!
Thanks!
