RMA Survivor:
I arrived when Dan and Mare were still laid back and an Eastern European version of hippie. Both were calm and soft-spoken for about five or six months then first Mare and later Dan became loud, though not particularly abusive. But Mare sure had some lungs.
Does anyone remember Brian Bates? That guy gave me the creeps. He seemed to really like hugging too much for it to have been healthy. And being a very straight male, having him give me an "affectionate" hug made me want to give him a knob in the dollies. And every rap I was in with him, he singled me out as his only indictment. Yet he never knew anything about me, which was the case for 90% of the school, but still felt like I was his personal project. I would not wish his attentions on anyone.
And I have no clue why he was there or how he got hired. His background was a goal keeper for a semi-pro soccer team. I guess that qualifies someone to be a therapist and counselor to teens these days. You used to need schooling and licenses for that stuff.
He was about six foot five, ugly like baboon-ugly, drove this rattling pickup and smelled like a cheap wine factory. Dumb as an Idaho potato, I remember him trying to explain physics to him one day when he wanted to build a log bridge that had to have used half the trees on campus to span maybe a forty foot section ravine along the Quest Trail. His plan was to bury the supports a whole five feet in the ground, along a water drainage path, thinking this fifty ton monstrosity was going to survive more than a week standing. I had to lobby other staff to get the bridge canceled as it's collapse would have taken the mountain down with it. It was like the Golden Gate Bridge made out of logs. Guy was crazy dumb.
Anyone know how long he stayed with the schools? Knowing him, he's probably trying to start up his own program too. Soccer-as-therapy or something.

LOL. Ya might appreciate THIS post then...
try another castle:
What year did brian get hired?
I believe we had a brian that went through our truth with us, and this was in july of 87. Your description of him sounds similar to this guy, although im not sure he would be going through the truth so late, after he had been there a whie.
He was tall, lanky, wore glasses, when he touched you you felt as if you had been slimed. I remember girls yelling at him about it in the truth. Kinda talked with one of those ray romano/kermit the frog/guy who shouts out "hey" in "we <3 katamari", retarded throaty type voices.
I dont recall any wine smell from him, but it was a long time ago. I also dont remember if he was a new staff or not. (I had only been there a week, so I wasnt really paying attention.) I do recall that he didnt stick around too long, but am not sure if he was fired, or just left.
RMA Survivor:
That is definitely Brian Bates! He arrived in late 84 I would say. He was there in July 86 when I graduated so odds are high he was there in 87 when you were around. Lanky, glasses....he's the guy. I would imagine he would have left via firing. He was one of those types who would hang on to anything, so he certainly wouldn't have been the type to quit. But how long he stuck around after you were there, I wouldn't mind knowing. He was the most unremarkable person who would also be memorable. Strange combo, but he was one weird dude.
Che Gookin:
Do any of you all ever recall seeing Lon Foolsbury out at RMA? I know the horsefucker worked at RMA as an admission director of some sorts at some point.
