Michael Haag is a social psychologist and long time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area. His connection with Peoples Temple came about in 1984 when he met and married Patti Chastain, a former member and survivor of Peoples Temple. Patti died in 1995. Patti’s art – and a remembrance of her by Michael – appear here.

Michael attends memorial services at the Evergreen Cemetery and other reunions of the Temple community in honor of Patti and of those who died in Jonestown. A regular contributor to the jonestown report, Michael can be reached at mhaag45@yahoo.com.
