He definitely was a cool guy at that time—but I had no idea about any troubles in his personal life.<br /><br />I was/am indeed Geofredo. :) Ms Coyne's class was one of my favorites—she was so animated, exuberant and fun. I might need another clue about you though. Are you John B? <I'll use an initial in case you want privacy) Either way—hi back. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your memories of Wes too Jephyr!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17542372571064128210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751425539435284041.post-58844467720371811842019-09-20T20:34:27.985-07:002019-09-20T20:34:27.985-07:00Wes taught me how to ride that unicycle and to jug...Wes taught me how to ride that unicycle and to juggle three balls while doing so. What a talented kid, and so incredibly kind-hearted in spite of a very difficult family situation. True, we didn't know him long, but we knew him well because he was so sincere to everyone. It had to be a powerful evil to brainwash such a good kid in such a short time. Anyway, good to finally find you my friend - it's been too long! I once knew you as "Geofredo" in Ms. Coyne's spanish class - mi nombre es Juan!

So many innocent lives were lost all because of the potent influence of a madman. It's incredible that you actually knew someone who later became a victim of Jim Jones. It's also chilling and sad to think that so many normal, decent people were vulnerable enough to get caught up in such a toxic cult.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.com
