Negative Positive
Title: I was there
Review: I was in the Dominican Republic at Escuela Caribe from Sept. '82 to Dec. '83. I knew David Scheeres, he lived in my house which was T.K.B. at the time. I don't know about Julia's home life, but I can tell you from first hand experience that she has fabricated a mixture of truth and fantasy in this book concerning the program. We did have boxing matches, but they were strictly between students as a last resort if those students could't get along. In the 16 months that I was in the D.R. I never witnessed a boxing match. I knew alot of the folks that she depicts in her book. My memory is pretty sharp, and I don't recall any of them acting as she says they did in her book. Although I went through the program, and I am posting here, that doesn't mean that I am a "religious fanatic". I want everyone to know that I haven't been to church in over 20 years, because I don't believe in organized religion. Don't be to quick to judge on this one..
