<p>Talk about a blast from the past.</p>
<p>She has served 30 years for her attempt on the life of then President Gerald Ford. She was originally parolled a few years ago, but had to serve additional time for an escape.</p>
<p>Never implicated in the Manson murders, which took place 40 years ago, but she certainly spent time on the sidewalk outside of the courthouse.</p>
<p>Yup, I’ll bet a lot of the kids here have never heard of her.</p>
<p>Lets hope there’s no reason to ever hear about her again.</p>
<p>Haha, true that. I’ll leave it to the UMDADs and mamoms to talk about it.</p>
<p>Lynnette Fromme was a Manson family groupie- hanging out in Sacramento while Charlie was at Folsom Prison. A friend told me that (before the shooting) she was in a class with him at Sac State- “Culture of the 60’s” or something like that. Said she was particularly interested in The White Album.</p>
<p>Seriously doubt Charles Manson was at Sac State. He and the Family were based in Southern California. I’d like to see the basis for your friend’s assertion.</p>
<p>I would guess that we’ll see Fromme back here in California, near whatever facility that houses Charles Manson.</p>
<p>^^^^ I think the friend was in class with her at Sac State.</p>
<p>OH…never mind–got the pronouns wrong.</p>
<p>Well, sure she was released, it was only Ford.</p>
<p>I think that this is horrible news.
Charles Manson still has some weird-o following in terms of pop culture and this gal being let out of prison might spark the interest in something ghastly.
Whatever happened to the other lady who was desiring to be let out early due to being terminally ill with cancer? I cannot think of her name, but she was involved with the murder of Sharon Tate, I think.</p>
<p>Was that Leslie Van Houton? I remember her name for some reason …</p>
<p>^^No the one with cancer is Susan Atkins.</p>
<p>Squeaky has never wavered in her devotion to Charlie. She still worships him to this day - unlike most of the Family members who participated in the murders. To one degree or another, most of them eventually woke up and said “What was I thinking?”</p>
