| Hello! I found this thread while searching my maiden name for genealogy reasons. Once again, I see someone stating that Leesa Magoch Johnson (I only use it for writing, btw) is some woman named Thaya. Below I am listing my myspace account. I am doing this because I am not Thaya. I am 33 years old. I never met the Monkees or anyone personally affiliated with them. My dad moved to Arizona from Wisconsin. I am an only child. I've never even seen Rocky Horror. I did e-mail with someone posting these allegations a couple years ago. I gave up trying to prove anything when they asked for a copy of my I.D. That was a little too creepy. Yes, I am in the SCA. I have never been a baroness or even have a title. Any other questions, just e-mail me. Thanks! > > The articles about Synanon, and some history about > Synanon, can be found on the web to be either too > simplistic or too harsh, but somewhere in the middle is > the truth of that institution which raised Thaya, her two > siblings, and which her parents lived in throughout the > childrens' forming lives.
