Future.Air,
Did you by chance transfer to the Atlanta Straight with the group from Virginia? Your name sounds familiar. Anyway I could be wrong.

Hi.

No.  I stayed in Springfield the whole time.  Although, I do remember some kids getting sent to Atlanta for some reason or another.

Maybe James Dougherty?

Hi.  I'm pretty sure I  remember both you and Aaron.

It's good to hear from you.  Are you both still living in the DC area?

Just remembered another staff member name ....
Bradee Minnik.  Also, Jasun Harrus.  I think he was a staff member??  
I spelled the names by pronunciation instead of  correctly so as not to breach confidentiality.  (the google search arguement on one of the other posts)

There was also a married couple.  Pale funny guy with light red hair and a mustache and woman with long dark hair she looked like Amy Share it ,



Also Dion and Dante...they always got called on.[ This Message was edited by: future.air on 2004-08-12 20:29 ]

I lived in Pa ever since I left Straight and Aaron just moved back to Pa in July....we were both from here originally but met in Straight and been good friends ever since. How have you been??? Really sorry to hear about Glenn. When I found out about it about a year ago from on here ....it really screwed with my head and saddened me deeply. I suppose you heard Jessica Friday passed away recently? I stayed in contact with her on and off to through out the years. I was glad to get in contact with Gina from this forum too. I hope you are doing okay......in NY now?

Hi Kecia,

I remember that.   Since I found this website a couple months ago I've been slowly recovering memories from that time of my life.

I visited Classmates.com in an attempt to understand my past and realized my "classmates" were really all the people I sat in blue plastic chairs with in Springfield.  We were taught some pretty sick shit, especially for already troubled teenagers.

 How are you and have you kept in touch with Mike M.?  Are you still haunted by that experience?

Elizabeth

Hi Scott,
Thanks for asking about me.  I'm doing pretty well.  I recently finished graduate  school and have been painting full time.  You can check out my website but it's heavy on the flash so difficult to view on all computers.
http://www.elizabethhuey.com/

I have some good friends here and my work is doing well.  I've had six shows in New York in the past year, some valuable press and the paintings are selling.  That's awesome.

 But my relationship with my boyfriend is difficult.  When I get really close to someone I'm still plagued by demons that seemed to take residence in my soul during those 2 years in Straight.  
They usually don't come out until  I experience some level of love and safety.  It is very confusing and frightening.  I am seeing a therapist here but sometimes I'm not sure if  she totally understands.  Finding this site has been pretty incredible for me.
Have you experienced any ramifications from your stay at Straight?
