Remembrances

This page was created as a collection point for all of the remembrances written for this site about the people who died in Guyana on November 18, 1978, about a member of Peoples Temple who died before that day, and about those people associated with Peoples Temple who have died in the years since the tragedy. We invite former members, relatives, and friends of those who have died to share your memories. Contact us at remoore@sdsu.edu or fieldingmcgehee@yahoo.com so that we may add your story.

The managers of this website are indebted to Heather Shannon for assistance in the planning, structure and research for this page. We also thank Kathryn (Tropp) Barbour for her inspiration in creating the page.
