Collective Memories
“A better kind of medicine for a better kind of world….” – Dr. C. F. Menninger
At the turn of the century, psychiatric hospitals were asylums, places for long-term care. The Topeka State Hospital, regarded as state-of-the-art in its day, was built in 1872 to provide “rest cure”. 70% of state hospital patients would remain hospitalized for life. Many patients had no further contact with their families. Problems ranging from patient neglect, abuse, forced sterilizations of patients, and the murder of a therapist by a patient plagued the Topeka State Hospital through its history. It lost its accreditation in 1988, and closed in 1997. The main building was demolished in 2010.
The Menninger Diagnostic Clinic opened in 1919, much to the chagrin of concerned citizens who feared a “maniac ward.” Because of the stigma of mental illness, the doctors had to bring patients in under erroneous diagnoses.
In 1925, Dr. C.F. Menninger, with sons Karl and Will, opened a 13-bed Sanitarium and Psychopathic Hospital in Topeka. They believed that mental illness could not only be treated, but cured. By 1935, Fortune magazine praised the Menninger Clinic as the “best private hospital west of the Alleghenies”. The Menningers worked collaboratively with other physicians to develop cooperative diagnosis and treatments for patients. Moods, emotions, and anxieties were treated as scientifically as temperatures and infections.
The doctors of the Menninger Clinic developed milieu therapy. All aspects of the patients’ experiences were to be therapeutic. Everyone from housekeepers to psychiatrists was involved in patient care. The Menningers hired artists to lead drawing, painting and sculpture classes. Patients worked in gardens, in the shops, and other activities that would increase their skills and confidence.
Dr. Will served in the U.S. Surgeon General’s Office, and helped develop mental health care for the military’s 2.5 million World War II veterans in need of mental health treatment. One hundred doctors joined the clinic to work with the Veterans Administration. Dr. Karl and Dr. Will wrote books, lectured, toured, and advocated for mental health. Dr. Will’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is still used in psychiatric training and practice. Topeka became the largest psychiatric training center in America.
"...Our conception of psychiatric hospitals here is not confinement; we think they are places in which to be treated, places in which to learn to understand one's self, to learn how to live." – Dr. Karl Menninger
In the 1940s – 1950s, the Menningers worked to reform state hospitals, including the Topeka State Hospital. After 5 years, the Menningers’ reform led to 80% of patients returning home after one year.
Dr. Will was on the cover of Time magazine in 1948, and Dr. Karl was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1981, the only psychiatrists to be so honored. The Menninger Clinic in Topeka closed in 2003. The Menninger Clinic and Foundation is now affiliated with Baylor University and the Methodist Hospital System in Houston, Texas, and is a world leader in psychiatric treatment, research, and education.

Thanks to the group "115 Pictures in 2015" this Teddybear sat perky and bright.....although a little bit worse for wear after 35 years in the loft. Teddy now at 69 years old, was Janina's (my cuddly wife) favorite when she was 3 years of age.

A number of years ago my wife and I along with two friends at Swan Lake started exploring the lakes around us in our kayaks.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. March 21, 2022 – Kodak Moments, a division of Kodak Alaris, continues the expansion of its color film portfolio with the launch of Kodak Gold 200 film in a new 120 format 5-roll pro-pack for medium format cameras, satisfying consumer demand.
“The 120 film format was introduced back in 1901 for the Brownie No. 2 camera,” said Thomas Mooney, Manager Film Capture Products, Kodak Moments Division. “Although it’s been around for 120 years, it’s still one of the most popular film formats in use today. One main reason for its popularity is that the larger film negative can be enlarged significantly without losing image quality. This is a great opportunity for aspiring photographers looking to make the jump from 35mm to medium format photography.”
The new 120 format KODAK PROFESSIONAL GOLD 200 is an affordable, entry-level color film featuring an ideal combination of warm saturated color, fine grain, and high sharpness. It is designed for any level photographer for daylight and flash capture.
Starting today, the 120 format GOLD 200 Film is available for dealers, retailers, and distributors around the world and is intended to be priced 25 percent lower than the comparable PORTRA and EKTAR offerings.

Been looking through some old photos, this one is from a family holiday to Minorca quite a few years ago now. This was taken at the port of Ciutadella. We stayed in a hotel not far from where this was took. It was funny looking at this, just looking at this shot brought back so many memories of that holiday that I hadn't thought about in years.
It was my Dad that took this.. I think... Theres so many things about it that I like, the boat captured perfectly in the middle, the sky starting to change colour as the sky sets and the walkway down to the left where there were little restaurants sat along the port which we would pass on the walk to and from the hotel. Its a shame its lost some of its quality from being scanned.
A scene from last weekend, when the sun was shining. It has been
raining the past several days and expected to continue throughout
the weekend. Thank goodness for photos to keep our spirits bright!
HAVE A PEACEFUL WEEKEND, FRIENDS.

So I never liked growing up in Winthrop, and I avoid going there as much as possible. Yet it seems I have a lot to say about it. Kinda weird. This memory map thing is pretty damned interesting.

I have not been in poem mode at all this year, so I was
surprised when one began to emerge the other day. I'm
not sure it's finished, and the punctuation is all wrong,
but it's all I have for now!
memory foam
the bed has come between us
furniture and issue
when night comes on.
while you sleep
the blue angels bust
the sound barrier.
while you sleep
the lumberjack
whirs his saw blades
my dreams go boom
and poof
I wake in the next room.
bedroom walls
have come between us
blocking the bombardiers
keeping the locomotives
on the track
no more jackhammers
blasting holes in the night.
the bed has come between us.
for good.
I am the perfect sleeper
get my beauty rest
beat my chest like King Koil
in victory
over the "Hammerklavier Sonata"
which you conduct next door
but like Beethoven
never hear.
I have chosen sleep
traded sonic booms
for silence
but I have not forsaken you
as long as my skin remembers
where you fit.
My Dad's classmate made this memory quilt of the places she grew up. There is a bear to spy in each little block. She only uses wool and hand embroiders all of it without a pattern.
We were meant to do a MOC for a contest at Comunidade 0937 to celebrate it's 10th birthday.
So I did a memory book to keep things registered. This one features an important mark for the LUG it was the Fan Weekend at Paredes de Coura and also a party, one of the coolest nights I've had in a long time.
