more names:
Scott Wyatt - ending up being convicted for murder in a drug deal gone bad. Also involved was a sibling of another client. To the best of my knowledge Scott is still in a Alabama prison. John Moncrief and I helped Scott's parents put him back into the cult at their request. I live in fear that Scott will track me down and kill me.
Scott Nalls - Ended up beating the heck out of me at a bowling alley in 1987. He had been restrained while I was a trainee, and he decided that it was my fault. I heard that he went to jail some time later and someone cut off one of his gonads.
John Moncreif(sp?) - A Huntsvillian

There was one guy from Tupelo Ms. He was not the brighest light in the group, his name is on the tip of my tongue but can't get it out...aha - I just recalled it Bryson was his first name, I think his last name was smith.
Tim Brown- Mentioned him before, but on a salient point-they lived in a mobile home in way out in Cummings? His father threatened newcomers with a gun- he told me that he would shoot me in the leg if I tried to escape his home.
Daryl?? - he was heavy set, and struggling with his effeminate nature- I think he was from Cummings
Vanessa ? - Hunstville, I lived with her and Alan Brown and a few others in a one bedrom apt with no power for a few weeks or months after I left the final time- we did a great deal of partying, it was very cultish with Alan holding court over our all night trips.
We listened to behind blue eyes by the who , over an over.
Alan Brown- Claimed to be the very first intake in Atlanta, said the old A&P was his shooting gallery, that he crawled in one day to shoot up and found the straightlings, they took him in, he was on his phases for 36 months when they finally let him out. Alan and Tim came to find me in Huntsville a couple of years later, they cheated me out of some money in a deal gone bad, when they left I noticed that Tim had a very large knife in his pants- had I argued with them they would have stabbed me- I am sure.
Dana and Mike Housley ( sheridan) - I lived with them after I left the last time, for a few weeks or days. Then I went and stayed with Alan and Vanessa.
Jason ?? Transferred from one of the Florida programs, was no more tha 14 years old and had been in the Florida program for some time already. When he came to Atlanta his single mother moved to Austell to be close to him. Jason was a serious arm carver, he dug deep, we had to put the socks with ducttape on his arms. He eventually made second while I was a trainee, one night he went off on his mom, we were called up, and had to go to his house.. he was restrained virtualyl all night, then set back the next morning. Either Jim Fraser or Steve Koss was involved can't be sure which.
The Fitzpatrick Brothers- Mike and Dennis- from early in my phases, they either seven stepped or left the program by early 84, I partied with one of them while living with Alan and Vanessa.
Derrick ? - Red headed, made it Sr. Staff from Hunstville- let me watch "the Wall' while on fifth phase while on vacation and visiting his home.
Susan with the black hair that was a Sr. Staffer - she did the volcano rap- first Staffer to really tear into me- I did not like that &*%$#&@.
Maria Milnichuch(sp?) - Executive staffer who came in later in my program.
Dennis Buttermer - Was the Director when I entered the program, went on to be teh head of some private school in the area- My Sister worked for hi mfor a bit while on her phases - something bad happened - don't know the details.
The Ambrose boys- Ben Bob and
there were three of them. Their mother was in a wheelchair, their father was killed doing missionary work in South America, Bob was the kid whose head was dunked in the toilet during the bathroom incident.
Alicia Crabtree- Alicia was a very strong girl, she was a real fighter, she copped out several times, never heard if she stepped. I tried to find her last year, but hit dead ends. FOund someone by that name, but they refused to reply to my email, so I have my guesses.
June (Lowery?) - June was a Northeasterner- had a boston accent, I thin kshe served on staff for a while under leathea, but she evetually left- My sister had some contact with her after, don't know what happened.
Mike ?? - He was a big boy, but very gentle and emotional, his mother eventually established a kitchen, so we could finally stop eating the crappy food that was sent to us from some aweful caterer.
Lloyd Benson ?? - A man in his late 20's, up to then the oldest client ever admitted, I think he was 27 years old. Lloyd had been in Prison, but took the opportunity to go to the program. He had a Native American heritage or look, was used as a heavy hand often though he became intensely uncompfortable with that role. He was in the unfortunate position of beating up on what were from his perspective -little kids. Perhaps the one person who I knew truly got his life to gether as a result of the program- I hope it lasted.
Alan Morrow- Another big boy, was used for beating up kids often. He and his sister were from Jonesboro, it was an hour or more to get to their foster home- They threw a fourth or fifth phase party one time at a lakeside park near their home.
Brad Bean- he was from the NC crew, he went to Helen Georiga with me on a fourth phase outing, we ate in a restaurant that served beer and played heavy headgames about it. We climbed all the way to the top of Anna Ruby Falls and had a serious discussion about copping out at that point- we figured that no one would ever find us out in the back woods of north Georgia.
Jim Fraser- Lived in Dunwoody. He and I were close if for no other reason than we had the same first name. I ended up livign with him twice after the program, once in Chicago and once again later in Atlanta. Neitehr time did it work out at all well. Of course neither of us really understood at the time how screwed up we were from the cult. Jim attended GSU for a while, I think he graduated, no idea what became of him after that. Ji mwas more together than I was, and I drove him crazy when we tried to live together.
Ramona Love- A real fighter, small compact girl with a mean right hook (jokeing)
Jane Cullinane- Her son Mike was a very small person, he came into the program nad was the only person I ever recall moving through the phases pretty much at minimum times- made it to Sr. Staff.
Jane turned me onto the Grateful Dead in a big way, I bought Europe 72 while living at her home, and she would listen to it with me. She told me about her own experiences in her youth. I went to lassiter High School when I lived with them- I was on fifth phase then I think. Mike was the Sr. Staffer that took control of Scott Wyatt when he was returned to the program.
