State Hospital Memories: More of My Story
âFor their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitterâŠâ âDeuteronomy 32:32 At the age of sixteen I was committed to the Pontiac State Hospital in Pontiac, Michigan.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” -John 8:32. “Put ’em Away!” If you follow the news you know terrible things happen every day. You might say, “Oh, that’s so far away…” until it happens to you. Here is my story. I’d always been nervous and shy, and never very good at any sport or making friends. Kids at school picked on me endlessly and my father yelled at me and put me down.

Agree to Agree: Aligning Hotel Owners’ and Operators’ Goal | By Michael C. Sturman, Demian Hodari and Michael J. Turner – Hospitality Net
Hotel owners increasingly rely on hotel management companies to operate their hotels through formalized hotel management agreements (HMA).
