I GREW UP HERE

Beautiful.

there is just something so elegant about the old machinery, that is just lacking with the new

I work for a company that provides control/safety equipment to large industrial sites, I enjoy going into the old plants, you can almost feel the history as you walk through

interesting,

Well, hello; how Nice to SEE you, you look lovely and swell tough guy in the ´Berry. Although nothing wrong with pictures, the whole Gallery; the Story before, and the Aftermath is the most depressing to me. May you always be well is my daily wish.

Anyone else thinking Professor X? :P

Ah, soo beautiful.

Mr motts you are one of the best photographers i have ever seen. I have looked through this album many times and it still amiazes and exites me. I have a intres in photography and a very nice camera and if im even half as good as you i'd be satisfied. Please excuse my spelling, never been quite good in that class.

If anyone says that the people at the Ladd School had any quality care the only person they're fooling is themself. What happened at the Ladd School was atrocious and the group homes of Rhode Island are littered with the people held there. Most of these poor souls still have problems and nightmares from their experiences at Ladd.

And Lynne I've known people who have worked in neonatology for decades. They by all means have been using anesthesia on infants since before the 1980s. They just used a lot less of it than they do now. When that article says deep anesthesia they're referring to the now preferred high dose.

My Grandmother was a patient at Manteno State Hospital for over 40 yrs of her life. She went in at the age of 24 and died there. I was a child and didn't understand why she was even there. There were alot of family secrets and my mother was told that her mom had a "Nervous Breakdown" after the death of her mother. I don't know why her father and other family memeber left her in there. My mother took us to see her one day when I was 12yrs old and I think that was my mother's first time of seeing her to. My mother's family had told my mother that her mother died when she was young. It saddens me that they did such Cruel things to people in there. Nobody ever knows where their life is going to end of at and I don't think it's funny to Laugh at People who have a Mental disorder...I know my mother said that my grandmother got beat up by other patients. When I did see my Grandmother(Doris) she was quiet and didn't talk...she did smile at us...I think she was probably drugged up most of the time...but it is sad to know that all she went in for was a Nervous Breakdown...
