Miller Newton is the former national clinical director of Straight, Inc. He left Florida in 1983 followig a torrent of civil suits and two criminal investigations--one in Sarasota County, one in Pinellas County. Dr. George Ross, Newton's national education director, left Straight in 1980 to form the Burger King of the Straight world--LIFE, Inc. in Sarasota. Dr. Ross was acquited of criminal charges in 1986 in Kentucky (indictments stemming form his operation of Possibilities Unlimited.) A LIFE follow-on currently operates out of the old Straight facility in Cincinnati--this is Kids Helping Kids of Cincinnati. Straigth-MacDonalds moved to Sarasota in 1981 to meet the LIFE challenge (Ginger, one of our participants, got caught up in that Straight hell hole). Growing Together is a LIFE offshoot founded by Barbara.

The curent director is Mickey Bowman (daughter of a US Senator). As of 1997 the following officers/directors were with GT: Sally Gates, Judy Duxbury, Jack Cassidy, Lee Waring, Neil Buerckholtz. I probably have data on their clinical director, but I'd have to search--the rest came of the top.

GT board member Jack Cassidy is from Palm Beach, Florida. Reverend Scotty Cassidy, believed to be a former Straight officer, operates Second Chance in Memphis.

Please send me an email ataylor and please keep posting. Your message is certainly on-topic. (Why do I have this feeling I know you?)
