Jonestown Survivor Interview on All Out Attack Podcast
JONESTOWN SURVIVOR Interview on All Out Attack Podcast with Harry Robinson I was interviewed for All Out Attack Podcast this last week. During the 40th Anniversary of Jonestown, many of us survivors expected the interest in/curiosity about Jonestown and Peoples Temple to slow down. Afterall, it had been 40 years. The opposite has been true. Since November 18, I have had many students, researchers, and historians reach out for interviews. This month, I have had people from around the world contact me for interviews - from Sweden, England, and other countries, and numerous students who were competing in the National History ...

I’LL BE WRITING ANOTHER BOOK For the past few years, since I “retired” from a career teaching middle school in California, I have thought about writing a second book. I do a lot of writing now. I create six or seven articles for the annual Jonestown Report, several monthly blogs on my website, www. Jonestownsurvivor.com, a monthly article in my local progressive bilingual newspaper Alianza North County, and, papers for conference/university presentations.

JONESTOWN SURVIVOR - REFLECTIONS AND EXPECTATIONS – 2014 and 2015 This past year has been a spontaneous combustion. So much has happened, so much that I didn’t see coming. Thankfully, I have a solid base with a wonderful husband, and awesome son – who keep me humble. After teaching everything from Bilingual Kindergarten to Computer Skills in Spanish to people on Disability, to CPR in Spanish in factories for the Red Cross, to Adult ESL, and then back to teaching 6th grade Language Arts – I retired from full-time teaching. I have traveled around the country to conferences, libraries, universities, and ...

MY THIRD TRIMESTER OF LIFE Today, I begin my last third of my life. I know it will be astounding, as the others have been. My first segment was my formative time – growing up, emerging from my mother’s womb and her day-to-day nourishment. And, it included my entering into the unknown while trying to find myself – and barely surviving the deaths in Jonestown, Guyana. These were my formative years. I learned about the person my mother trained me to be, and then I learned to be strong enough to survive an unimaginable experience and keep going. The second trimester, I ...

THE 2012 JONESTOWN REPORT – Published by The Jonestown Institute This November 18, 2012 is the 34th Anniversary of Jonestown In the process of writing my book and articles for different other media and events, I have turned into a writer. Some of it is journaling, and some of it has a bigger role in helping me explain different aspects of both Peoples Temple and my life since I survived. Often, I seem to want to put my thoughts on paper and to use them to clarify a point or to organize my own thinking. The newest Jonestown Report is due ...
