Keith Bishop has apparently moved on to Q&A Associates in Davis West Virginia as Director of Operations.
I see that Bishop has not moved far, philosophically speaking... :twofinger:
There are more than a few interconnecting lines within the industry, but I found the following course of associations quite intriguing and, actually, even almost elegant, given its circularity:
Q & A Associates was founded not too long ago by
Angie Senic, former executive director and long time employee of Alldredge Academy.
Alldredge Academy, along with SUWS and a small number of other programs, was founded by
L.Jay Mitchell. An accompanying "parent assistance" organization, the Alldredge Foundation, may or may not have had Mitchell's hands
officially stirring the pot, but his influence was certainly there.
The Alldredge Foundation merged with
Saving Teens in Crisis Collaborative a few years ago. STICC, a sort of "philanthropic" enterprise which, in reality, functions more like a public relations arm for the industry, was founded by a Mr.
John David Reuben. Mr. Reuben was apparently thus inspired after having sent both of his boys to a small smorgasborg of at least two programs each. The older one, who died a few years ago of a drug overdose, was first sent to
SUWS (L.Jay Mitchell) and then to
Academy at Swift River. The younger one was dispatched to
Outback Expeditions and then to
Hidden Lake Academy, which was the former name of
Ridge Creek School, Keith Bishop's former place of employment.
My, my... what tangled webs we weave.
