Remembrances |
|
“A native Virginian caught up in a tragedy thousands of miles from her home. Strange to think she could've been my sister, cousin, or friend. May she rest easy. ” - Patrick“Carol came to Jonestown with her mother, Penny Dupont. She was the youngest of Penny\'s children and the only one to accompany her mother to Guyana. We all loved Carol, a creative, warm and vibrant youth. She appeared in skits, led projects, and especially had a way with children. She was a children's worker in San Francisco, and a nursery supervisor in Jonestown.
In June 1978, Carol was assembled along with a dozen others who had relatives in the U.S. that had left the Temple, to denounce them publicly over the radio from Jonestown; by August she was criticized with several other members in connection with partying on the boat and neglecting maintenance there, and had become a girlfriend of Philip Blakey, causing Jim to lament, "we lost her somehow." ” - Kathryn (Tropp) Barbour |
