I don't know when they opened Ward A?? It sounds like it must have been not too long before I started working there in '85.

When did they Open Ward A?
When I was there it was for Daycare. No one lived on that Ward.

Sitting at the girls end?
They used to sleep in front of the door, both night staff.
They must have changed that when me and another person on Ward D went down to the girls room. I relate that as well.

Sounds like you have a great life and a very busy one! The kids you teach are lucky to have you in their life. I am sure that when these kids are grown, they will have great memories of their childhood and pass that along to the kids in their life. What a great guy!

who could forget me.i also coach basketball and fill in on girls traval softball.you have to enjoy being around kids and watch them grow from kids who can't swing a bat to hitting home runs or can't hit a shot in b-ball to being all stars on traval teams.i want kids to know that you may to something wrong,but you can fix it and move on,and you can't change the past just work on the present.don't make the same mistake twice.in gaebler there were staff in there who gave you a chance,and there were (85%)you did not care that you were human (let alone a child).i think that bothers me more then losing 3 years of my life.that is the shame of it,for me i give my time without a price to help kids.i go to bed without nightmares or sadness.for some staff i hope they lose sleep over what they have done in there.there are some like neil,willie,karen and there are more not to much more that i think tried.not to much more though.

i know people or kids can change there own ways,i myself coach kids and went on to play sports in high school and went on to college.so i have learned that i did not want to be caged and wanted to make kids that i coach or give pitching lessons to that there are kids who don't have it as good as they do,and to be lucky.i have not told them about places like gaebler because i could picture them in something like that.by the way my name is shane maureen.
