Gaebler school girl
I would like to find shawna from ward A. She was always a friend to me. I also was on ward A. I liked her a lot and was afraid of her boyfriend john. I remember when they broke up john told me he could hook me up with her, I told him I didn't even like her. I am happily married and have 3 kids but would like to know how she is doing and talk to her again

This is the TV stand where the Atari 7800 would have been. to the left there was homemade ice cream on Saturday. Saturday nights was bingo. there was a popcorn machine and juice. Use to watch night court

Hey "wasthere" thanks for info on christina hill. Always kinda felt bad about breaking her nose. Now I feel much better. lol don't know if you remember me or not but thanks

I seriously feel bad for anyone who has dr. hanna. He was a sick f*** back in 1981-1986 when I was at gaebler. God only knows the torture he's putting his new experiments through. May god bless you & keep you safe. Eygpt isn't far enough(lol)

WOW. After reading Hell and Back this makes me really sad to this. These poor children were treated so badly. I love all your pictures. Because of the detail each picture tells a story in its own way. Keep up the good work!!!!

This near the laundry room

Merry christmas to all of us who never had one then

Seeing this picture and hearing the comments of john and gaebler school girl give me some closure to that part of my life. This let's me see that there are people that have gone through what I've gone through and it helps. As for the picture! It looks now what it felt like then. "Dark, dirty, and forgotten" I use to lay on the floor with my mouth near the bottom of the door, and scream out. I would scream for hours and hours knowing that people could hear me. After 8 or 9 hours shawna or audrie would yell from there room and I would stop. I don't know why I stopped, maybe because I knew then that there were kids out there that were here with me and I wasn't alone. For some reason shawna's "from ward A" talking to me in the rec room always helped me a lot. I keep looking at this picture every day and I read the words people wrote and I just feel better inside. I don't know how we all made it through this but we did. Maybe it's because this was just a part of normal life to all of us. And that's how we lived. Some day we'll all get together as a reunion or something like that. But till then this sight will be great. Keep adding comments. And thank you all.
