| Record 122 Name: Dick Powers Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Lawrence, Kansas, but originally Kansas City Time: 2000-03-26 07:28:29 Comments: I was in LRY from 1975-80. I was part of the Kansas City local (MVF). I went to many con-cons during that time frame. I was a member of the "offical" LRY punk band "the Retardos". I also spent a lot of time hanging around Tacovilla in Boston (so much that I am now married to a former "taco". I would lave to hear from those who may have crossed paths with me in the past. |

| Record 121 Name: Tom Smith Website: LeOtis Land Referred by: From a Friend From: Huntsville, AL (LSDer or ACiDer, Thanks, Innes !) Time: 2000-03-25 15:12:59 Comments: Many thanks to S. Buis for directing me to this incredible resource / touchstone. Perhaps those decades old "Where Are They Now ?" mysteries can be solved. If I could gain access to the extensive (literally shoeboxes full !) Buhmann/Copeland photo archives, a fairly comprehensive early to late 70s photo essay could be compiled and posted. I've meandered through life, taking it all in, but I've never forgotten that without my co-conspiritors and peer counselors, young adulthood would have been much, much more turbulent, confusing and lonely. So now, thanks to this amalgamam of chips and wires, the global village idiot may reconnect with those blasts from the past and rekindle a friendship or two. The old UU church is still there, cooler than ever, although it's a private residence now. It was more than just a party, a whole lot more. |

| Record 119 Name: Layni Martin (craver) Referred by: Net Search From: TOAKtm (Arlington, TX) Time: 2000-03-20 04:51:27 Comments: Ok- so I have to write something or you don't let me in? This is vaguely reminiscent of the Stunt Night thing where we'd put a new person up on stage & stare at them in total silence. Whatever they said/did was supposed to be reflective of their first experience w/a member of the opposite sex. (I'm not sure why "opposite"- I always remember it as that way, so I think the bias was original, not added by me). |

| Record 117 Name: Lara Hanson Referred by: Net Search From: Los Angeles - Now Berkeley Time: 2000-03-12 05:03:53 Comments: Hi all, I found this site by accident, but what a wonderful accident. I was in LRY in the LA/Santa Monica area from 1984-1988. LRY created a community for all of us political, radical freaks in a time of bad hair, new wave music and the prom. I'm looking for old friends and to connect with others that made it through the hell of high school years surrounded by their gang of LRY outcasts. |

| Record 116 Name: Jamie Garde Referred by: Net Search From: New York City Time: 2000-03-09 19:54:46 Comments: I was active in the Metro NY and Long Island chapters and Middle Atlantic region of LRY in 1966 - 1970. LRY was the best part of my life in those years and I am very greatful it existed. I was surprised to find this site - I was actually trying to find the site for the Unitarian Camp Homestead. Does LRY still exist? I have not been in touch with any of my friends from that time, but would love to re-connect. |

| Record 114 Name: Bob Voges Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Winchester MA: SMF/NERO 1969-1972 Time: 2000-03-07 17:31:53 Comments: I was active in SMF (Southern Middlesex Federation) of NERO (New England Regional Organization) from 1969-1972. I lived in Winchester, attended fed conferences (SMF, CMF, and other Massachusetts feds) in Franklin, Sudbury, Worcester, Attleboro, and no doubt other places that I don't remember just now; attended NERO Midwinter at Goddard College 1969 and UMass Amherst 1970 or maybe 71; attended NERO Star Island conference once, probably summer '71, and NERO Springthink at least once. I was a director of SMF in 71/72 and Chaired the SMF Spring conference in Lexington, also in '72. Have not been in touch with other LRYers in many years, with the exception of a brief email exchange with Lee Ericson a couple of years back. Now living in Arlington, MA, with my wife and daughter; trying to get reinvolved in the UU church there; working as a Software Engineer. LRY was a profound influence on me in high school; I had some wonderful experiences and some that I regret. Over the years I have drifted somewhat away from the spiritual/activist ideals that I learned in LRY, but I'm trying to get back there now, and glad to know that the community of old is reconnecting. Anyone from SMF/Nero 1969-72, email me and I'll email you back. |

I hope others from ST Paul, MPLS visit and sign in . . . actually others from the District would be great too. I was in LRY from 65-68, my sister Joan from 64-67 and brother Jeff from 61-64 (i think). LRY has definitely left a favorable mark in my life. |

Was in LRY 1963/ 4 - 1970. Attended every Saint Lawerence District conference there was & Unirondack too! Have met a few old LRYers in my continued UU involvement as a DRE & a 'dolt on Continental Youth Council. Lookin' forward to hearing from people. |

| Record 109 Name: Catherin Gregory Website: Personal Home Page Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Now in Victoria, BC ... originally from Toronto Time: 2000-02-05 02:35:10 Comments: Today I was telling a friend that I was going to make some chili for the first time in years. "Don't you like chili?" he asked. "Naw, I haven't been able to look at the stuff since my days in LRY, when crusty pots of the stuff would be sitting on the church stovetop for days and days and days." "What's LRY?" he said. Rather than get into a lengthy explanation I thought I'd just do a Google search in hopes of finding anything, perhaps some dusty reference on some UU page somewhere. Well, was I in for a shock when I came across the LRY Memorial Site! LRY online? How absolutely fantastic! I suddenly dropped into a time warp and all those wonderful warm memories came flooding home. I was in LRY from 1968. I had been a UU Sunday School kid earlier, but it was the first year of UNICAMP, in Honeywood, Ontario that really got me back into the fold. And such a fold, such a time. Somedays I wonder if it was just a dream because I look around me today and everything seems cold and vicious. Did it really happen? Of course it did, and LRY online is proof of those halcyon days and nights. Ah, the conferences, the sleeping bags and gear piled in corners, the warm embraces of friends upon meeting, the overcooked chili, the stories, the explorations of bodies and thought, the tears shed when then end finally came. I can still remember the smell of a few church hall floors. I want to know what happened to everyone. Where is Jeff from Evanston, they guy who made me drool with hunger? Where is that naughty boy Ian? And where is Fred the Head from Detroit? I saw Frodo from Toronto some years ago, but where did all his Acme Duck Pharm people go? And Alice, beautiful Alice from Kalimazoo whom I lusted over in a jail cell in Crystal Beach one afternoon? Reading all these guestbook entries, I know it wasn't a dream. I've often thought if it wasn't for LRY I'd be dead, addicted, or in jail. LRY was soooo important to me I can't even begin to explain it. Whereever you are, what ever you are doing, I love you all. |

| Record 107 Name: Jim Sechrest Website: Jim's Home Page Referred by: Viewing another Guestbook From: Urbana, IL Time: 2000-02-03 04:32:21 Comments: Hey There, It's good to see Nan Warshaw, Mark Sewell, and Star Straf on here! I was (and am) from the Central Midwest District. I was in LRY in 75-79. Served on the CMF LRY Board (Executive Committee). LRY was definately a big influence in my life. I've always been very independent minded and still am. I'm sure that LRY had a lot to do with that. I remember some really magical moments at LRY cons that were the beginnings of my spiritual development. You know... that feeling that you're in the middle of a spiritual event and you can feel the energy around you. Just walking through the sanctuary of a church where I had been to an LRY worship at is enough to get those feelings rolling a bit. I'm a YRUU advisor now. We just had a con in St. Louis (at Eliot Chapel) for 170 youth. It does not seem as deep spiritually to me, but I'm sure it can be, for the youth, now. My local YRUU is hosting a smaller "mini-con" (50-70 youth) in 3 weeks and we are trying to get ready for it. Sometimes, these YRUU cons are in churches that I had LRY conferences at, which is pretty wild, as a juxtaposition. From 1988-1996 I was active in UUYAN, the UU (18-35) Young Adult network. Some former LRYers were involved. It seems to be taking off as an organization, now in a bigger way than before. I still post email on the UUYAN-L email list. (I'm always kicking up little philosphical debates). My life has been very unconventional for a while now. I've been working on wildlife projects seasonally since getting my masters in Biology (Ecology) in '93, which turned out to be a vow of poverty. A year ago, I was trapping, tagging, and radio-collaring black bears in Alabama and Arkansas for a conservation project. I've worked on raccoons in Illinois and desert tortoises in the Mojave Desert (at 115 degrees). Mainly, I'm interested in a biological take on conciousness. As in, the evolution of conciousness. That's a sideline to the conservation projects. There's no money in it. It's good to hear from you guys! |

I found this site from the egroups lry room. Glad I did. I would like to hear from lots of old friends. I was in LRY in South Peel/ Toronto, 68 to 70. Toronto Conference Canadian Thanksgiving 68 Ottawa, Christmas 68 and Montreal Spring of 69, Went to CampUnirondak, in NY in 68, Camp Motto that year. "If you touch it you gotta eat it." Moondoggie was there and RobinHood from Montreal, Carol from Ottaw. I went to Star Island with my mother in 66? or 67? I also often think of Glen and Leslie Vockeroth, Glen was from Thornhill, Leslie was from Montreal, they married around 70 or 71. How about Fred the Head from Detroit, am in touch with Dickason's and Lather's from Detriot, how about Michael Ragglin, Mike Shaw from Oshawa, and many others whose faces I can see and my memory won't let me recall their names. LRY was a huge influence in my life and I don't even know why or how I stopped going. The last conference I was at was in Detoit in 1970 or 71 just around the time that we lost our beloved friend Scott Kabram, I still have his book and read his poetry. Love and Peace be with you. |

Time: 2000-01-29 20:09:14 Comments: Started in LRY at Milwaukee's First UU Church, 1971, got involved in CMF, did lots of conferences; first Continental was DeBenneville Pines, '72 (?). Moved east, never again had a local or fed., but was in close contact and went to lots of conferences and visited a lot in Boston. Lived around the east til maybe '79, rarely missing a Continental or Triangle. Beloved days! Been in WA state since then. No shortage of former LRYers here. Have been going to Orcas conferences. I recognize a fair number of names on this site. Particularly interested in Mark Sewell's (Milw. West Church) recent posting offering a list of bios for 30 old (well, we're getting there) CMFers. Anybody have updates for Steve Meinrath or friends and sibs? And there are so many others. I'm really glad to see this here. Mark, I'd sure like those bios. Don't know yet how to fully access this site. Best wishes, Laurie |

| Record 102 Name: Dan Gediman Website: Dan Gediman's Home Page Referred by: From a Friend From: Boston area originally, now in Louisville Time: 2000-01-24 18:26:05 Comments: I'm at a bit of a loss for where to start. Like many of you have written, LRY was my salvation when I was a teenager (hating school, hating the kids in my hometown, bored, generally screwed up). I first got on the LRY/UU path at age 11 going to Homestead Camp in 1972, the next year I went to both Ferry Beach and Rowe Camp in an effort to find my perfect niche. Rowe Camp became that for me and for the next 4 years I went every year. A friend at Rowe in 1975 told me about LRY and I started going to conferences around New England between 1975-1978. I ended up being president of Mass Bay Federation, going to board meetings, hanging out at the Taco Office in Boston, generally being consumed with all things LRY. I then went to Antioch College (recommended by another LRYer) and getting into public radio, which as been my world for the past 20 years. I have been a DJ, produced documentaries, radio dramas, feature stories (for various NPR and PRI news shows) and now I am goofing around with print journalism, writing for the local papers here in Louisville, my home for the past 15 years. I also have pursued music pretty steadily for the past couple of decades, with 4 albums recorded so far and another on the way (I've got some album cuts on my website at www.songs.com/dan if you are interested). I would love to hear from old friends from my Rowe/LRY days. Cheers! |

| Record 100 Name: Bonnie Ramsay Referred by: From a Friend From: ECF South Peel (Toronto) now Portland OR Time: 2000-01-13 12:59:31 Comments: I was in LRY in the mid to late 60's, but you know what they say..."If you remember the 60's you weren't really there." }:-) Actually since I visited the reunion site this morning I have been flooded with faces and names I haven't thought of for a very LONG time. So here is a list of folks I would love to hear from or about, not complete by any means. So if you know what these folks are up to, or if you are one of these folks, or you remember me, do drop a line. RANDY REYNOLDS, JOHN REYNOLDS, JOHN BOROWIN (sp?) PETER BOROWIN (sp?), PAM CORTOUE (sp?), STEPHANIE CORTOUE (sp?), GARY ? from Oakville, CATHY from Calgary who doen't give a damn about a green back dollar, ARNOLD THAW, minister of the South Peel church, the guy who skateboarded down the New York thruway, or so it was told, SAMMY or was that Samantha from Buffalo. I would also like to know whatever happened to the folks in Scott Stutzmans post here number 36. This may be a little long, but I thought I should put in a little info. about where I have been, low these many years. Like many I hitched my way across Canada for awhile, finally winding up in Vancouver for over 20 years. Then 10 years ago this weekend, mid January 1990, I met and fell in love with my partner, in Portland OR. She is an activist who hails from Montana. We have one child named spike, (a middle aged toy poodle) who we adopted just this past summer. I still don't know what I want to be when/if I grow up, but generally I am happy. Ok Ok, I know, that any of you who were in and around Toronto in 1967 want to know and the answer is YES! I have been reunited with my son, without the aid of Oprah or Maury thankfully. He lives near Toronto, and we email occasionally. One last thought, though I haven't explored the reunion site extensively and have no idea what plans may be afoot for a live reunion, how about Las Vegas for a continental reunion??? |

| Record 95 Name: Nan Warshaw Website: Bloodshot Records web site Referred by: From a Friend From: Evanston, IL Time: 1999-12-24 03:52:39 Comments: Hi all. I have been a bit apprehensive about writing here, because I haven't identified with a hippie lifestyle or attitude since I was high school aged. However, LRY had a huge fucking impact on me when I was young. I got an awful lot out of my time traveling the country/world to see friends, attend conferences, and living and working in Boston for LRY. I wouldn't be doing what I am today, if not for LRY. I really gotta thank you all who exposed me to country music (even if though folk). I prob'ly would have found punk rock on my own, but I definitely give my old friends in LRY credit for turning me onto hard country music. I now have a job I love; I own a small indie record label (Bloodshot Records) which began as a hobbie 6 years ago, then turned into a business. I work with bands and artists I respect and whose music moves me. If you're into music with a thread of traditional country running through it, yet informed by punk rock, check out our bands or our web site. Holiday Cheers! |

I had a lot of good times and I have a lot of good memories. I'm now middle aged and middle class, but I like to think that I've held true to the values that all of us shared as LRY members. I'm doing my small part to make the world a better place as a high school special education teacher. If any of my old buddies from the old days would like to contact me, please do so. I would love to hear from you. If any of you remember Steve Kistler from the Evanston group at the same time I was active, he died earlier this year from the side effects of chronic alcoholism. |

| Record 86 Name: Malcolm D. La Plante Referred by: From a Friend From: Time: 1999-12-02 15:49:35 Comments: It was with some trepidation that I decided to put my name here. When I saw Aaron's (aka red), I was brought back to many wonderful memories (singing the National anthem in front of the Amherst Police station) and some painful ones (some earned and sorry, some not earned and hurt). My involvement in LRY was from 72 - 75. While I would not say that LRY was a fundamental force in shaping me, when I do think back on that time, a swirl of faces runs through my mind, many of whom I would like to meet again. For those of you who knew me, I know that you have heard many strange tales of me since 1975. The most creative being a drug addict on the lower east side. Well, while my life had some difficulties (as most do) that was not one them. Eventually I graduated from NYU and am now living in Ct. happily married (10 years) with 2 children (2.5 and 5) and working as a Developer/DBA. To paraphrase Elmer Fudd "HI, my name is Malcolm La Plante, middle class wage earner, I own a split ranch and a Harley (plus two used cars)". Let's see where this goes.... |

| Record 83 Name: Susan McCoy Referred by: Net Search From: Huntsville,AL;RockIsland,IL;Miami,FL;Gainesville,FL Time: 1999-12-01 15:49:25 Comments: Ha, ha, and the funny part is now we are all OLD!! Yes, I still have my purple and blue LRY button, and other memorabilia. And I have lots of incriminating photos that prob. should get scanned, and posted, from Froggiemore and Nashville conferences of yore. Hmm, what else can be said that hasn't already been eloquently posted here? It's beautiful that we all hold our LRY memories so fondly, and for the most part we still keep in touch with the fragmented LRYers scattered globally. Inside our hearts, it's still our LRY family, and no one can take that away. I would love to hear from you rascally critnors! Keep on truckin'! |

| Record 82 Name: Chris Wise Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: Time: 1999-12-01 04:12:18 Comments: I was in LRY/YRUU 1981-1987, and I've been going to Star Island for some reason or another every year since then. You can find me there this year from June 16-19, as I'll be running the "Young Adults" conference. It should be a good time; drop me a line if you'd like more info about it. All are welcome, age range is 20s-30s. It sure is great to see so many old friends. |

The above is a more permanent record of the entries in our guestworld guestbook (aka The Housebook). Some people have had trouble accessing the guestworld site, so I'll be regularly uploading the entries here, as well.
If you don't have a webpage yourself (or even if you do), but have jpeg or gif images you'd like to include with your comments, send them along and I'll post them here. To immediately add your thoughts, links, etc. to our housebook, go here. If you can't access that site, e-mail your comments to me and I'll upload your messages directly onto this page. To write a private message directly to one of the authors above, simply click on their underlined, blue name in the opening of their message.
If you don't know your e-mail address, but would like others to be able to contact you, click here. A box should pop up on your screen. Simply fill in what you want to say and paul or I will decipher it and help you figure out your e-mail issues.
Happy ranting, happy re-connecting, glad
to see you all.
