The question of a diploma.
I was 1 credit short of getting a diploma. It was in literature.
If there is anyone who has any pull at Traverse City High School, maybe you can have them look at this thread.
I think my lifelong music writings and the upcoming book should qualify me for this credit. I would love to have a diploma. All I have is a GED.

I have been taking photos up there for almost a year. If anyone wants a photo from acertian spot let me know. I go to the state hospital at least once a week. I was in hall 7 last week walking around. Earlier today I think I found a tunnel that went to the female cottages. I also have most of the old skeleton keys they used. They are C, P, 1, 2, 5, and Master. I heard there are keys with A and B. I guess my dad was there for a while. He ended up commiting suicide in November of 1998 from overdosing meds and alcohol.

How about "Hall #18" ?

I can't get on hall 18. It is a restricted floor.

Looks like the book is dead. I sure wish I could get someone to write my story

That's too bad. Did the professional writer that was working with you bail? Or was it a publisher that bailed? Unfortunately, I don't have any real publishing or writing connections, but if I ever make some, I will make sure to mention your story.

What happened with Connie Smith?

Postby ronl on Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:57 pm

Heidi Smith is her name, she had computer crashes and real life matters, alignment of the planets.

Hiedi That's right, I don't know how I came up with Connie?

Postby ronl on Thu Feb 25, 2010 3:58 pm

I decided to write the book myself and it can be read online at
http://www.hall-18.com/book.php

I will add to the story daily as my memories are put into the time line. I was hoping to have a creative flair to it but I am not that creative, just to the point.

Good Luck Ron. I couldn't write a book about tcsh-Hall#18 because there's still too many things missing. :roll:

Mike after 1 year of writing my memories it seems easier to do this, anyway I was hoping you would help. My memories are your memories. I hope you do not mind but I mentioned you and will do so through the writings.
