Shirley's Story
Life
I RESIDE IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 25 YEARS AND HAVE 2 CHILDREN, PORTIA IS 21 AND DANE IS ALMOST 20. PORTIA GOES TO OSU MAJORING IN ITALIAN AND MY SON WORKS AT OUR FAMILY BUSINESS. WE LIVED IN NEW ZEALAND FOR A YEAR. MY HUSBAND IS A NATIVE NEW ZEALANDER AND INVOVED IN FORMULA TYPE RACING. WE HAVE A CARBON COMPOSITE SHOP IN COLUMBUS. I COLLECT VINTAGE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. I HAVE JUST ABOUT COLLECTED US OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME. I DO SELL ON EBAY AND UNFORTUNATLY DO ALOT OF BUYING ON EBAY.
I HAVE ALOT OF FOND MEMORIES OF MY YEARS AT PHILO AND STILL STAY IN TOUCH WITH SOME FRIENDS THERE INCLUDING MY BEST FRIEND, CANDY COTTERMAN (ARNOLD). I LEFT PHILO IN 1965. MY MOTHER HAD JOINED A CHURCH IN INDIANAPOLIS AND SHE DECIDED THAT WE HAD TO MOVE WITH THE CHURCH TO UKIAH, CALIFORNIA. THE NAME OF THIS CHURCH WAS "THE PEOPLES TEMPLE". WE MOVED OUT WITH MANY OTHER FAMILIES. JIM JONES ACTUALLY DROVE OUR CAR PART OF THE TIME WHEN WE WERE ON OUR WAY OUT. IT WAS A CRAZY YEAR. MY MOM DECIDED TO QUIT THE CHURCH AFTER ONE YEAR. I...Expand for more
WILL NEVER FORGET HOW ANGRY PASTOR JONES WAS WHEN WE LEFT. I WAS SO AFRAID BECAUSE I REALLY FELT THAT HE HAD POWERS FROM GOD AND THAT WE WOULD SUFFER BECAUSE WE HAD LEFT THE CHURCH. IT WAS A SCAREY TIME. WE HAD FRIENDS THAT DIED IN JONESTOWN BUT THAT ALL WENT DOWN SEVERAL YEARS AFTER WE LEFT THE CHURCH. WE STAYED ON IN CALIFORNIA FOR AWHILE BUT THEN MOVED BACK TO COLUMBUS IN 1967. I THEN STARTED LINDEN McKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL AND GRADUATED IN 1968 FROM THERE. I THEN WENT TO COLUMBUS STATE AND ONTO OHIO STATE.I DID NOT GRADUATE FROM EITHER.
MY MAIN INTEREST DEAL WITH CURRENT EVENTS AND I LOVE A GOOD POLITICAL DISCUSSION. MY FAVORITE THING TO DO WOULD BE GOING TO ANTIQUE AUCTIONS. I ALSO LOVE ALL THINGS TECHNO AND CAN'T BELIEVE WE SURVIVED ALL THOSE YEARS WITHOUT THIS STUFF. WE ARE TRULY LIVING IN INCREDIBLE TIMES. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE THAT REMEMBERS ME FROM PHILO. I HAVE SEEN THE SCHOOL AND FELT ENORMOUS GRIEF THAT IT WAS TORN DOWN. IT IS INCONCEIVABLE BUT SO TRUE. I FORTUNATLY HAVE A BRICK, CANDY MADE SURE THAT I GOT ONE ALSO.
