Well, hi, gonzo -- thanks for your post. Yeah, I knew you were close, but I thought you were more north of there. Would you please say more about your experience there?
I was there Oct '03. It was good in that I did get to talk w/Schindlers and find out more about the situation through the years, and contribute to financial need that arose while I was there . . . but all the while, Terri was inside DYING . . . and what was I doing??? I'd driven over there from an Orlando high school competition. I was hurting for Terri as a mom hurts, and I was determined to take her something to drink -- then when I met Schindlers, it was clear they did not want anyone doing that. That evening I went up to a policeman and said what if I wanted to take something to Terri? and he said if I did that I would be arrested. I said the Schindlers didn't want that & neither did my family . . . I admire those who are there -- it can't be easy for them.
I'm in Tarpon Springs. Not much to say - prayed with everyone else when I really felt like pounding my head on a tree.
The helpless feeling is almost overwhelming, when one realizes the absurdity of this immoral situation.Take care..............FRegards
