So-called "Manson's family" photo.

why do you think that? the three girls are obviously squeaky and sandy and gypsy

why do you even post if you have nothing to add?

 

I ran into one of them last year in Az in a cafe looking real straight and handing out flyers about how he was a Mansonite and had converted in prison to Christianity and was now an evangelist preacher who would be a guest preacher at a local church. I think it might have been Watkins. Anyway the scary thing was that the flyer had a pic of him in his Manson dys and the crazed fanatic look in his eyes was still the same when I met him.

Oddly enough, Heaven's Gate went on for quite sometime after Hale-Bop.

 

paul watkins has been dead for 20 years

sounds like tex watson, except he's still in prison

?

 

i stand corrected

time to re-read when prophecy fails

though perhaps the continuing and/or new members think it succeeded?

 

Thanks, I too stand corrected. I tried to avoid him (as I do anyone with that look in their eyes) at the time and then he started handing out his flyers and darn, I think I lost mine. We were neighbors in the Haight for a short time and I learned to spot that look that almost all of them had.

 

One of "his" girls still lives in a little town outside Corcoran state prison because of Charlie being there. I worked in Corcoran off and on and some of my customers were /are prison guards and get to screw with him. Said he was still crazy as hell. Nothin' new there.

 

Funny I saw this thread. I just finished Helter Skelter and I'm currently reading "Squeaky: The Life and Times of Lynette Alice Fromme" I also found copies of the 2 documentaries done on the family during and after the trial by Robert Hendrickson, Laurence Merrick. That is an authentic photo. From left are Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, Sandra Good, Mark Ross, Paul Watkins and Catherine "Gypsy" Share holding Good's son Ivan. I think the guy on the far right who's face you can't see is Steve "Clem" Grogan. He got out in 1985 after making a deal on the whereabouts of Shorty Shea's body. However he was not involved in any of the Tate/Labianca or Hinman murders.
