I was there in the late 70s and today I wish I would have stayed there. I can still remember the Hanna center funny money. Cleaning the windows with vinegar and water and newspaper. Those were the days when Sammy Davis Jr was a big sponsor. I was able to purchase a brand new bicycle that he donated. And it only cost me twenty dollars in Hanna center funny money. I don't remember exactly when but I and a couple of other boys were working in the kitchen and we locked the cook in the walk in fridge and we ran away. The rains were very heavy that year and I remember riding a bicycle in the floods and the water was up to the handlebars. If you are there now. Please stay learn what you can and trust in the Lord....Tyler Stoltz
