Didn't we all go some skating ring in either New Paltz or newburgh, I think it was New Paltz?
Did Annette and Scotty both wee braces and Annette got her's off first?
Anyone remember our Step Brother Craig Unger, he is a political writer now has two books out.
Maybe Ronnie was the "edie haskel" of that period, right now he is as big as three of the big size actor from "LOST".
Real shame.
I walk four miles every morning at 6am then ride a staionary bike another 5 miles every day regardless of weather or health.
Scott, I wish I had pictures for you, maybe you can email my Father and Lynn his wife at unger234@aol.com and ask them if they have any?
Wasn't there a motel near by, that when the Ranch was filled to capacity we would send guests to ?
Remember all the Cadillacs back then had the wide flame wing backs and the lincolns opened both doors front and back from the center of the car? My Uncle for the past 30 years has owend one of the most exclusive "INNS in Palm Springs, check out
www.inglesideinn.com and Melvyn's Bistro.
Ok I wish I could recall more fond memories of The Ranch, but my mind is blank right now.
I do recall Annette was spoiled rotten but still a stone cold Fox.

Hi All,
As mentioned I’m making an effort to collect photos and memorabilia of the Sunnycroft days to hold on to some glimmer of youth. If you have any photos I’d like to post them on a web site. I’ve already started so if you get a chance go to www.makomagnet.com/sunnycroft you’ll see one the original banners.
PS: Richie, what’s with the Eddie Haskel, if anything, that was Ronnie

those paintings are beautiful

the sea view scene isnt graffiti its a painting from when the place was in use however i dare say the white squiggle is, im from ryhope and i'v always wanted to go in here :(

I once stayed in the town of Norwich for a while . The story goes like this. When the faculty closed the placed as many patients as the could. the rest that had NO place to go was released on to the streets with 50 bucks given to them by the hospital. Now these patients didn't even no how to brush there teeth. If u ride threw the town of Norwich u will see the homeless out there sleeping under the bridges. Pretty sad if u ask me.

Kenneth Bond, I am writing a fiction novel on Kings Park set in 1959 and I would love to hear any stories you have to share. I would also love to add pictures as an addition to my novel. If anyone has any information they can share with me please e-mail me at:
Fiona_Parlem@yahoo.com or Fionap1717@yahoo.com if the alternative does not work. If you have information on Kings Park i would love if you could share the information with me, when you are e-mailing me please title it Kings Park, so I do not delete the message.
Thanks so much!

The title puts Sublime in my head, but the shot is so melancholy! I bet the acoustics of even footsteps in here would be amazing.

This looks like a Story & Clark or a Thomas Organ. It's not a Hammond. I know because I was a music major in collage. Hammond had the slide bars. They were know for there ability the change pitch with just a touch.

So so sad

This looks just like the bathrooms in New Orleans in the early during Mardi Gras or New Years Eve after people have been partying! Actually, I believe the prison bathroom shown above is actually much cleaner than the Mardi Gras/New Years Eve New Orleans bathrooms. I love going to New Orleans, but I will never go during Mardi Gras or New Years Eve ever again! This is a great set of pictures of an old prison. I love looking at pictures and hearing stories about old prisons or jails.

I just watched that show as a rerun. Being a mom to a special child, i find that institution to be just awful!! I can't imagine placing anyone in a place of that nature. Kudos to the man that exposed the atrocities that occured there. If only more people would speak up and protect those that can't for themselves. My heart breaks just thinking about those poor people.

Absolutely love the whole gallery and especially this shot...wallpaper? Please?
