various people I'm remembering from Atlanta

Anyone else remember Miles Nieberline (sp?)?  I recall him telling a story about how he downed some strychnine in an experiment on himself and ended up in a hospital.  He was truly a character.

What about Dennis, the guy who stabbed someone in group to get out of Straight?  He ended up in the YDC down the road from the program.  My brother worked there and told me about it later (another story).

Also, there was a staff member, female, with long brown hair in 83-84 whose name I can't remember.  Really high strung person, mean in fact, used to talk about shooting up speed and stuff.

ClayL:
I remember Miles and Dennis both. Knew Dennis pretty well, but not Miles. Was Susan the name of the staff member? There were two Susan's. One was a Sr. with black hair and the other a Jr. with reddish-brown hair and freckles. Both were high strung and it was easy to get on their bad side. I know the Sr. was much heavier into drugs, but they both were junkies.

Susan with the reddish brown hair.  I always knew to avoid talking in her groups.  She had a special dislike for some us.  

It was sometimes difficult to keep from laughing whenever Miles spoke.  I always had the feeling he was playing a joke on everyone but only a few people knew it.

ClayL:
That was Susan G. I think she had a thing for me so I was pretty safe in her raps. The thing about Miles you hit right on the head and made me break a smile remembering.

Yeah, that's her.  I think she had a thing for me too.  That is, I think she couldn't stand me.  haha...

I remember Miles talking about how he and some buddies synthesized LSD once.  Of course, he felt really bad about it and all....  I also remember he was in college when he got thrown in Straight.  Was like a chemistry major or something?
