Is your last name Haun or Hawn? Your brother's name was Daniel or Danny? I almost got chills when I saw your picture because I'm almost certain it was you I was friends with. I just happened to have trouble sleeping tonight and randomly typed in Ivy House to see if there was anyone else out there that remembered being there. My name is Kira - not sure if you remember me but I have the MOST vivid memories of you two. I have often thought of you guys and wondered what ever happened to you. I feel like the three of us were really good friends, but maybe you don't remember me, I dunno. I know my mom came to take me for a weekend home visit and never brought me back because she was scared the people at Ivy House were trying to take me away from her for good. I never got to say goodbye to anyone. I have so many memories of that place - the Running Tree being one of the most vivid - and eating at the dining hall. I also remember Tony. So weird, cause after all these years you start to think, "Did this really happen to me?" I would love to exchange thoughts or memories of Ivy House if you have time. - Kira Porter (ktpmonkey@hotmail.com) Okay, this is really bizarre, but I was just looking you and your brother up on Facebook – at least I think it was you and your brother.
