And to think you're breathing in that foul carcinogen infested mist hovering all over, unnoticed until the light shines right, the whole time you're walking around. Emphysema or mesothelioma anyone? :D

Good one Joel!

Getting dead in dumb way people can win Darwin award. To bad they cant claim it. Best way is to not to do stupid things and stay alive.

Rita, as you stated " the people that left were never 'normal' again?" I hate to tell you this, but in most cases, the people that left there were most likely never quite 'normal' to begin with. Back in the '50's and '60's it was considered "normal" to put your mentally disabled child in schools like this...as harsh as that may sound... but it really was what was considered best for all concerned. Many Dr's advised parents of newborn retarded children of this option, out of concern for both parents and the children involved. You have to remember that back in those dark days people did not have the options readily available to them for in home care, as we do now. it would create a very real hardship on most couples and their families, and this was the next best thing. if families could have afforded to keep their children, many probably would have. I worked in this particular school for 18 years, and am still working for the state in a group home for a total of 25 years. All of my clients were loved and cared for like they were family by many devoted staff over the years. It may have once seemed like a "cold place" but by the time I got there in 1985, it was transformed and the " bad seed " staff were generally weeded out.

Many times when they installed these magnificent bannisters, they would leave something - like a time capsule - in the newel post (that ball or square thing at the end of the bannister) in hopes that someone in the future would find it. Usually house plans or other documents pertaining to the property would be shoved in there. They're interesting to find.
