Dear Friends,
In response to the emails saying that Cedu had been shut down, I decided that I had to see for myself. So tonight my girlfriend and I drove up to Running Springs. The place looked pretty jumping for being shut down, which leads me to wonder what the exact timetable for shut down is. Are the kids being shuttled off campus? Are there any students left on campus at all?
We drove up the main driveway, and where the old middle school building was is now some sort of guardhouse. A sign tells people to check in before entering. Since it was 9:30 at night I didn't think they'd exactly wave me on. So I parked and my girlfriend and I argued about what to do next. I wanted to go in on my own and have a look around, but seeing as how she didn't want to sit in a dark car she can't drive (it's a stick) waiting for me to get arrested, we decided against that plan of action. Plus, she was wearing really loud shoes. I can't blame her, she's got no stomach for adventure. So it was decided that we would try the legitimate route: actually calling in and getting permission.
At any rate, it would be good for my soul to be able to walk the hallowed grounds again before it becomes a bed and breakfast, and so I plan on going up again this week for a legitimate visit.
Does anyone want to come? I'm in California. Email me back, or call me 323 251 9586.
All my best,
Jackson

Jackson, You are waisting your time. The bankers are there. They have hired gaurds at the gate and all over the campus, they well not let anyone on campus. They are instructed to call the authorities if anyone enters with out permisson. Sorry. They are protecting angainst the campus form stealing. I know someone that is working up there at this time and this is what they said. I would not waist your time or gas. hate to bust your bubble.

Jackson, you're a follower until the bitter end aren't you? Y'know what? I'll go to Cedu with you. I'll bring a shovel, so when we get there I can bury you in your "hallowed ground." Think about it,you'll never be apart from Cedu again! C'mon, what do say say? :grin:

SOS what's it to you if the Running Springs school is special to this guy? Supposedly you're happy--you've won, right? Your hated boogy man CEDU is out of business
Guess it occurs to you that the ideas of CEDU are still alive as long as people believe and care about what they got from these programs
I doubt your bitter words are going to be as strong as people's experiences and decisions on what is real in their own lives
-
when did they put the guards at the entrance?
-
SOS,
You've spent more time on these boards than most people and you're trying to call me out for wanting some closure?
Fear and anger.
Let it go, dude.
I love you,
Jackson

SOS,
This is the perfect. I could not have said what Jackson said any better myself.
Let go of the past, use what you know to move past all this, and on with your life.
Let go of the fear and anger and move on.
This is not the coming from what I learned at CEDU at all, but what I learned after.

Well just so you'll know that the people at the entrance to CEDU are Staff & support people.
And their just turning away people who don't belong on the campus,untill the State comes in next week to take over the property,and get it ready to be liquidated so the creditors can be paid off.
And hopefully everyone who was employeed by the brown schools can get paid they owe everyone they're last pay checks .
So if you had went up to CEDU you could have'd talked to the people watching at the main road in.
I know I would have liked to have visited with you!!

So, in theory, some Cedu alumni could be allowed to walk around the campus one last time?

I agree, I have experienced such a peace since that place closed. It felt like that movie "Somerhing Wicked This Way Comes" was playing in my head over and over, and now the darkness is gone and I am at peace.

I really liked that movie a lot. I really, really did. It's strange how different my experience of life has been, how warped, altered, flayed, and perplexed its been since going through those programs. I still have nightmares, many, many nightmares. The fact that CEDU failed in front of the entire world is respite to me, but just a victory and not a resolution. I found someone who loves me, after living 20 years of being a wayward, bleeding and lonely child, someone who comes from a kinder world than i have ever known. Someone who saved my life and gave me the desire to live it again. I had thought my life would end in suicide.
I like you, Roy. I wish I could have a conversation with you.

So Jackson, I guess your answer to my offer is "No." Too Bad :cry: . Does your girlfriend know that you go around telling strange men that you love them? I hope not. If I were you I'd be careful...if you say "I love" you to the wrong guy, you could end up having a very lenghtly stay in the hospital; or even worse you may end up on the recieving end in a gay porno. You might want to rethink this. At the very least, get some good dental insurance.
Now Jackson, you know exactly why I'm calling you out. You can go on playing dumb, and pretending that you haven't been slandering me anonymously for months, but you're not fooling anyone.
You really are a very slimey and devious little man aren't you Jackson? Well you've certainly found your calling professionally, good for you.

Is that you DW?
My how the mighty have fallen!
Where's the tough guy who told me he was coming to my house to "Fuck On" and "Violate" my wife?
What about when called told me a "deluded, stupid-slav, junkie, for suggesting that a "powerful, well-established, multi-million dollar corporation" like Cedu could ever be brought to it's knees by people like myself?
Where are the rest of your rascist slurs, and disgusting insults against my family, and even my 11 month old son?
Why the meak tone now Mr. Dickless Wonder? Hmmmm?
You are right about one thing...Cedu is dead, and I am overjoyed and relieved that they won't be hurting anymore childen...and yes I agree that the idea is still alive in many of your twisted heads, but get real, you're not going to resurrect CEDU: No bank or reputable corporation
in their right mind would throw their money away
on a FAILED IDEA that already ran into the ground 6 schools in 4 different states! Talk about deluded...when will you wake up and pull your head out of your ass already?

I wrote the last 2 posts.

The pope can finally rest now that CEDU is gone.

What are the best places to stay up there? We were thinking of taking off for a weekend and Arrowhead sounds cool and is close.
