Welcome back, always enjoy your photos. Sounds like some people kept their sense of humor, which must have been very difficult in a place like this.

Thanks Motts. Have you got any trips to Fernald?
Way back when I first found opacity someone suggested a book to me which was about Fernald. "The State Boys Rebellion" It is the closest thing I have ever found that describes what I endured donw to some of the quotes being word for word what was said to me as well as the rumors and threats made at the Essex County Isolation Hospital. If you can believe it what I endured was worse. I found this excerpt from the book.
