I've wanted to put some of these memories into words for quite awhile, if only to help me remember my experiences.
I thought I was a little crazy for doing this. Nice to know I'm in good company.
I seem to remember Jim Olson. About how old was he? I grew up in NYC and know a lot of bethelites. Richard Wheelock, also from the Factory, married my parents. I thought of him reading your story as he also died at bethel. His was a suicide.
