DECLARATION OF GRACE L. STOEN
I am the Petitioner in this action and am moving to regain physical custody of my 5-year-old son, John Victor Stoen.
I am aware that the People’s Temple has gained considerable publicity and attention as of late. I have been contacted numerous times to make public statements and to supply information. I remain concerned that my son’s readjustment to a normal and stable home life will be adversely affected if litigation regarding his custody gained widespread public attention.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed this 11th day of August, 1977 at San Francisco, California.
/s/ Grace Lucy Stoen
