Hi, Matt and Marnie,

I was in Marietta Straight in 1982. We may have even spoken before by email, but you were going by a different screen name then if we did. When I was there, David Tilley (sp?) was the director. He'd been my principle at a local middle school, and he actually talked me into going into the program.

I'm just curious: I know Ann Crow ended up in Real Estate, but whatever happened to her son and Mrs. Byrd's son, the redheaded guy with the ducktail.  I heard that a lot of the staff got caught doing drugs in 83 or 84.

And can you refresh my memory? What was the bathroom incident?

SALEWIS67:
Hi, I'm trying to figure out what this bathroom incident was as well; it happened just a few days before my DAY 1. There were whispers about it, but discussing it was taboo. I never found out what happened.

This happened just after I got out in Dec of 84. Apparently the Dir decided he'd had enough of the fucking misbehavers and decieded to confront the issue head on. With the help of several of the more gung-ho 5th phasers and some of the staff, the misbehavers were taken into the bathroom and shown what life in the gutter was like. From what I heard they had their heads flushed in the toilets and, with no pretense of restraining the client, had the hell beaten out of them. I think there were some broken bones. Several staff members were fired including the Director, all the participating 5th phasers were started over or thrown out of the program. Tom really could tell you more about it he was still there.

SALEWIS67:
What'up Clay ? That clears things up. I think it happened earlier than that, because in September of 84 when I got there I;m pretty sure it had already happened (but I could be wrong).

ps Mr Pride was the job to have. Are you kidding ? In a word: Sunshine.

Scott
