Title: Are there any of the original ASR students here?
Post by: telephant on April 22, 2009, 12:42:28 AM
Im from peer group 1, also known as Project 1.  The title is misleading, because there were originally (approx) 20-25 students.  That is, until they were all kicked out, except for 6 of them.  I was one of the six.  Thats when Rudy took over.  This was also when the program length was much longer.  I want to say 18 - 24 months.  I was there for almost 17.  February 5th, 1998 to June 21 (or 29th?), 1999.   Project 1 was the first group sent to Costa Rica.  Which lasted for 8 weeks instead of the 3 or 4 that was common after.

Im looking to reconnect with the P1.  Are there any of you here?

Funny story about this piece of shit:
(http://http://www.rubinedu.com/images/rudy-bentz.jpg)

So after everyone was kicked out, and the wilderness intake program was just created (none of us went through it), peer groups 2-7 sprang out of nowhere.  So we were the "senior" peer group and we were sometimes allowed to listen to music.  One evening, I remember asking Rudy if we could listen to Dark Side of The Moon, and he goes, "What?  Do you think Im stupid?  You don't think I know what Pink Floyd is about?"  And then he puts his fingers to his lips like he's hitting a joint and says, "Is there anybody in there?"

I remember thinking, "That's The Wall, dumbass."  :twofinger:

I was in peer group 1 with Shea, Ryan , Chris, Emily and others who didn't finish at ASR.  Just thinking of ASR, its been 10 years. So I typed peer group 1 into google and this came up.  Crazyiness.  The school was a mess, but looking back it was an experience that I think has helped me, but I could see how others were a little messed up.  If ANna, Kristen, Walter, Emily, Shea, Ryan, Tyler, Matt N., Matt B,  Chris or others who I am forgetting, ever see this I hope to talk to you again at somepoint.   This is Tim.  Chris Locke, Mark Pananos and Amy and Jay were the best.  Scott, Jeremy and the nurse, I cant remember her name.

Do any of you guys know a student who went there from Lowell, Mass.?  I'm, looking for information about a parent 'who' posts here by the name of 'TheWho'.  If you have some time, take a look at the thread called 'TheWho' from the first few pages and give a shout if you recognize who 'TheWho' is.  His kid was allegedly there during Bentz' tenure and he says Bentz was a great guy.  Thanks in advance!

I had the displeasure of being in peer group 1 at ASR. Also known as Project One. The emotional abuse/torture was brutal, but eye opening. I want desperately to reconnect with my brothers Ryan, Chris, and especially Tim Mosher. If you can help please email me at sheaboy@gmail.com

Saw this on the web and recognized your name, Tim.  Hope you guys reconnect if you haven't already.
