Just wondering what it is now becoming since i live in California now and also why it was closed down to begin with??...was it because of the death of the 17 Yr old in the New Hope Cottage??...would love to hear some ppls input and am really hoping for former workers of the "1993-1995" era for comments Thanks

Hi, Herbie, Could you tell me more about essh. I am doing some research on essh. I can be contacted at bonbonvie2007@yahoo.com Take care. chickweed

I was there when the boy overdosed at Eastern State School and Hospital. I was friends with him on the outside as well. I am in contact with one other girl that was there when I was. I was there from November of 1994 to March of 1995. I even actually ran away from there with a guy I was seeing in there. Man how the years change us. I was even still in contact with the one worker from there, Joanne Bowen, up until she was killed in 2002. If anyone wants to talk to me you can e-mail me at wschmeltzle@gmail.com
