Peter's Story
After a couple of years of total partying at college,it was time for eastern religon and metaphisical studying. I Left college and became a Yogi with three others from NRHS. We were going to The University of Buffalo.
the others were Glen Barnett, Larry Wolfe and Jill Davis. It's quite a tale that lasted 6 years, ashram living started out with a basis of yoga and meditation and evolved into an organized religion.It was a cult with these centers or ashrams all over the country and the world.The head guy who stared the group was Yogi Bajahn, Kundalini Yoga and Sikhism were the ingredients. in 1974 i was sent to Richmond,Va to take over being head of the ashram there because the current guy "split the trip" as it was told to me. so now Glen is back in the ashram in Buffalo, Larry is in the New Mexico ashram and Jill is in the Buffalo ashram also.Glen and i keep in touch, Larry i haven't spoken with in quite a while, the three of us are no longer a part of that organization.To the best of my knowledge Jill...Expand for more
still is and is pretty high up the chain, but i may be mistaken of her whereabouts and her role in the group. i've had no contact with her in many years. The three of us left as we found out alot of the organization was corrupt as it morphed into an organized religion. we all wore turbans and wore white clothes that symbolized our "purity"!!!!! we meditated, taught yoga classes etc, etc.
it's a pretty long story, too long for here.
Anyway i live in Charlottesville Va i'm single now and have 3 kids. my two oldest girls are 32 and Clare is my 7 year old.I like about a quarter century between my kids (ha ha), it keeps me young. i'm in the retail business and have been since 1975.Reines Jewelers is the name, fine jewelry, diamonds and watches. Tony Townley and i have kept a great friendship over the years and i also keep in touch with Jerry Sussman via email and the phone. Typing in this program is not quite like Microsoft Word, so please excuse the mistakes.
Does anyone know about a reunion planned?
