I went to day camp in 81,82,83 I have nothing but fond memories, even though I was a rambunctious the priests and brothers were always good to me. It is a shame to see the state of the school. My mother-in-law worked for the county for 30 years she's going to try and call in some favors to get me permission to enter the school, it will be bittersweet seeing the familiar sights as kid in disrepair. Any one else go there in the early 80's and remember Fr. Charles, Fr. Mark, Fr. Steve, or Brother Dennis??

Different hospital, but if anyone is interested, here are some PDF's of a newspaper that patients at a state mental hospital wrote and published back in the 1800's:

So glad you are back Mr. Motts :) As some people here, I never posted before, but I love your site so much I danced around the room when I saw your new posts. :) Your work is amazing!
Ephemera: Resurrection
Yes, love the stonework, too, AND the gorgeous little balcony! It´s mine!
Hair-driers are left behind. In a lot of places. This is a hair-drier with an attitude!
TILES FTW! Like them so very much! And like the contrast! Love that! The rest falling apart, totally, and the tiles just sitting there neatly, smiling!
Ahh those cool lovely tiles again!
That is expensive and lasts forever! Tiles FTW! What lovely hues, tints and shades; soft and peachy!
Where are the faucets?

I really hope that everyone is done with the soap dispenser jokes. I realize that it's a way to show your loyalty, that you've been here from the beginning, but Motts provides us with so many amazing pictures. Days of entertainment. And reminding him of the only mistake he's made must get annoying for him.
