Remembrances |
|
“Al had worked as an x-ray technician, and kept on doing that in Jonestown. He was also a cottage supervisor and made sure the bathrooms were kept clean, by complaining to Jim when they weren't (so Al wasn't at all reticent when vested with responsibility). Al was called upon to respond to the crisis of disappearing x-ray equipment for the medical clinic that went missing off the docks in Georgetown, where it had been delivered. [Jonestown Institute, Q599 transcript, August 1978]” - Kathryn Barbour“Al Tschetter was the husband of Mary Tschetter and the father of Betty Jean Tschetter (aka Kim Yoon Ai). This our only photo of him. It is as spare as my recollections of Al, who was always under the radar, though he was there from the time I joined, he was a silent presence, going about his business, always in the background. I didn't know Mary well, either, but they were trusted members and great parents to Betty and their daughter, Robin, who survived by being in Georgetown, thankfully. RIP, Al. You are missed and remembered now.” - Kathryn Barbour |
