|

|
| Most memorable UVA educational experience |
|
| Comments on memorable educational experience |
I was pre programmed--not realizing it at the time--thus I could not be as spontaneous or as stratigically contributing to the essential need of all people as I had previously been properly educated to be as a child--the only true head start equal rights and continuing education system as God/God created it to be.

Simple but adequate and comfortable cots in Eng. Quon set hut or dormitory, on Route 29 I remained so busy I did not have time to give in to any dislikes--except student drinking I tried to discourage.

Although Charlottesville was a small town it remained somewhat rural, but urban in progress planning. My special treat was an ocassional "soup sandwich" at the Waynesboro Hotel or a $1.50 steak dinner at Stuarts Draft on an ocassional Friday night with class mates.

| Did you feel part of UVA community? |
|
Did you feel part of community? |
|
| Incidents that caused these community feelings |
Few people seemed graciously friendly after WWII, but I'd smile and become interested in them and what they did. Sometimes I did not measure up to my own capacity, but primarily because I did not understand what was expected of me.
|
| Vivid UVA memories |
|
| Comments on vivid memories |
See #28. I began to be unduly concerned after Betty Co-Ed's husband was asked to resign. About two weeks later Betty reprimanded me and threatened me saying " I know you the only person responsible because you are the only one who knows anything about either of us." To which my response was " I don't have the faintest idea what you are talking about." And I truly did not in 1949. It was 1989 before all of the connections -total picture returned to my mind.
|
| Did marital status affect UVA experiences |
|
| Comments on influence of marital status |
I was caught up in the midst of something I did not understand, but knew and had been told that in no way, for no justifiable reason was ever responsible or could ever be made to be responsible for such false accusations. However, I was told as a child, I would recall what it was all about later when I would need it most.
|
| Did cultural background affect UVA experiences |
|
| Comments on influence of cultural background |
Not any, really. My grandparents on both sides taugt me that in learning to take care of myself as a human being growing up to assume more and more responsibility. So that I could carry on with life's chores where they leave off. When they pass on I would succeed with everything I need to do and to meet the needs of other people too worldwide. " Conquer yourself first and you will have solved all of the world's problems."
|
| Did UVA prepare you for post-UVA life? |
|
| Comments on preparedness |
Yes, for nursing as it is practiced under doctor dictatorship. No, when it comes to properly teaching and practicing, nurturing, soil fertility, plant nourishment, nutrition, good health, emotional peace within. Happiness and peace on Earth with mirth.
|
| Most significant post-UVA events |
|
| Comments on most significant event |
It is a completely complicated matter, but largely the result of forced personal health, neglect, and "gang up" attitude. By truly paranoid persons who refuse to face or accept the reality of life-Every human was created to be a co-creator in the garden with God. For good health or personal survival as population increases, food supply decreases.
|
| Personal factors that affected professional life |
|
| Comments on personal factors |
I've known of my personal health liabilities, my potential, my true relatives since age 2. I've known that I was being stalked and would be stalked for the rest of my life. I cope by being polite, concerned, pleasant. Share garden and health information and explain that I've missed my snack -?-. I sound irritable.
|
| Other factors affecting life after the university |
|
| Comments on other factors |
Mostly having to live alone, but rarely lonely. I try to maintain at least 3-5 friends and spend some time with children as much as possible. I'm a firm believer in "out of the mouth of babes comes wisdom." Not prejudices or ill-will or hatred.

Hypoglycemia- Misdiagnosed since 1972 and also mistreated due to being illegally drugged and pre-programmed by one insane, jealous Doctor Louis Richmond Sr. who did not qualify for staff membership at Riverside Hospital under Dr. and Mrs. Beaver, and lost his M.D. liscense because of his -?- only to seek revenge and take credit for good I had done.

| Additional comments |
Its been 50 years since I graduated from UVA. Experience in attending "Summer on the Lawn" and talking with youths and students leaves me with the impression that they are hyperactive, rebellious and at wits end because they feel hopeless and helpless at accomplishing anything worthwhile. "You are born sinners" So what's the use of trying--an attitude that has pasted down through history from King Nebu Chad-Nazzers children's time. Even after he had repeatedly warned them and his followers against proceeding with such practices.
Research in that respect was done during the Coolidge administration, and he acted upon it, granting me permission to tour world planting quality seed and relocating animals, in needed locations and similar safe habitats.
I would like to request, and to be granted UVA state, fedaral research grant to establish facts and statistics on the effects of "You are born sinners" on:
childrens learning capacity and potential
To what extent it generates fear
To what extent it generates ill will- hatred
To what extent it generates war
in what ways does it violate God's laws of order and progress.
other questions or factors deemed necessary
