Archived Site: Jonestown Survivor

Information Concerning this Archived Site

Source: https://jonestownsurvivor.com (Inactive)

This is the archive of a large website of articles and blogs published in conjunction with the book, Jonestown Survivor: An Insider’s Look. The book and all the material in this archive were written by Laura Johnston Kohl, a member of Peoples Temple who survived the tragedy in Jonestown by being in Guyana’s capital city of Georgetown on 18 November 1978.

Following the twentieth anniversary of the Jonestown tragedy, Ms. Johnston Kohl became a prolific writer and active public speaker, work she continued to do until shortly before her death on 19 November 2019. She also made herself available to family members of those who perished in Guyana and scholars who try to understand the calamity of the ending. Finally, she was a generous contributor of articles and remembrances for the Alternative Considerations site, all of which may be found here.

In the interest of preserving the information from her site for future generations of Jonestown scholars and researchers, the managers of this site obtained permission from Laura’s husband Ron Kohl to archive her work in its entirety. Both the archive and the book itself are published with his permission.

Jonestown Survivor – March 2017 – Another Busy Month

Jonestown Survivor – March 2017  – Another Busy Month

In Like A Lion, Out Like A Lamb

by Lorie Hill

March roars in like a lion

So fierce,

The wind so cold,

It seems to pierce.

It is possible that in times past, both the weather and life were predictable. But, my life is anything but that. This month of March is a full month:

  • I got a cd copy of a show I was interviewed for – “Serial Killer Culture” A John Borowski Show, Season 1.

  • I taught an OSHER Lifelong Learning Institute Class for California State University-San Marcos, on “The Evolution of Peoples Temple in the 1960s and 1970s.”

  • I was interviewed via skype for 1 ½ hours for a Swedish documentary about Peoples Temple.

  • I am Moderating a panel and Presenting at University of Phoenix “Creative Industry Expo.”

  • I submitted a Proposal to present a scholarly paper at the Communal Studies Association Conference in October.

Those are my March activities in addition to my activism, my monthly article for the local bilingual paper Alianza North County, teaching, and a multitude of other things.

And, April looks to be just as busy, with trips to Sacramento, University of San Francisco, and University of Southern Indiana, and another California State University-San Marcos OSHER class.
