Losing funding and any profits from their pottery sales, they were forced to keep the grounds running by scamming the State of Arizona to let them start a home for wayward boys. I was one of those boys. <br />I was very close to Bill Haines, Russell Kramer, Bali Rama and Jack and Bobbie, their nurse and maintenance man. I rode into town many times with Bill as he regaled about his adventures with Timothy Leary and when the big bust came his lawyers instructed him to have a heart attack. It was how he kept out of prison. <br />There were a couple dozen kids there and a lot of child molestation was taking place with some of the counselors, which is what eventually led to its demise. The Zitco stuff came later. <br />I would have been there in the mid 70s, because after I left the sanctuary, a couple of years later, I moved north in 7/7/77.quietly screaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00271855407707598033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759991183598568178.post-74475204043047419562019-11-03T19:20:33.066-06:002019-11-03T19:20:33.066-06:00I'm well over 100 this year lol, would be a ra...I'm well over 100 this year lol, would be a rather crazy enterprise Olaf Danielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427270873795437960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759991183598568178.post-69307712961023767652019-11-01T18:22:19.007-05:002019-11-01T18:22:19.007-05:00Butterfly Big Year 2020!Butterfly Big Year 2020!anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911103907807084702noreply@blogger.com
