I am the daughter of Synanon members Ed Arkin and Sandy Arkin Rogers-Hare, born in 1974 and raised in the Hatchery and Synanon School. My mother and I left Synanon in 1980. I have kept Synanon and the magic of what it was to me in my heart.
I wrote a book about it with the help of my mother which chronicles our journey both in and out of Synanon. It is called “Little Brown Girl”
CBS is producing a four-part series based on our book with a talented team of professionals and Synanon members.
I have a bunch of stuff.
All I have is a copy of the Synanon Philosophy and I think a silk screen Dian and I did (if I can find the print).
Thanks for all you’re doing to tell this story. It’s a beautiful thing just like you. Let me know if I can be of help. Fondly, Forest Crawford formerly Sylvia Crawford, the Unicept teacher, lab technician, former Synanon resident/escapee, the wife of Bill Crawford and step mom to Rebekah and Nomi, etc.
I would love that!! Of course I know who you are! Including my contact information below. Call anytime or let me know when you’re available so we can set something up. Looking forward to connecting, and know how much gratitude is flowing your way…. xoxo 917-301-8267
