"Attached to the article is a mugshot released by the Washington State Patrol, I believe from his Washington driver's license, so that would be pretty recent."

Victim of accused sex predator Victor Barnard: ‘He was very scary’

The most disturbing story I’ve ever reported will be published Sunday in the St. Paul Pioneer Press and was just posted online here. It’s the story of a remarkable woman who endured nine years of sexual abuse, starting when she was just 13, by 14th…

"Thanks again, John. Any guy who likes Queen (judging from the music that plays on my computer whenever I try to write to you) is all right with me.

"Thanks for your note, Ted. I remember you well.
"The whole truth" is a bit hard to define, but I take the accuracy of my book seriously, and if you know of any actual errors that should be corrected, I would gladly do so.
Best of luck to you,
Karl"

"I actually know what a fried-out combie is, not to mention chunder, because I interrogated the last Aussie gal I met. May we meet someday on a hippie trail, with or without a head full of zombie.

Nice song! Rock on!"

Karl Kahler left a comment for Rhys Miller

"Thanks for the kind comments on the book. For some it's like a journey down Repressed Memory Lane. I certainly have a lot of good memories of The Way, starting with the quality of the people it attracted. Hope you're doing well -- you're the second…"

"To answer your question, I'm still unmarried, but not necessarily still single. So maybe you were a wise counselor after all."

Good to hear from you again, brother. I like your theory about grayness. As the Counting Crows said, "Yeah, well, y'know, gray is my favorite color / I felt so symbolic yesterday / If I knew Picasso / I would buy myself a gray guitar and…"

About Me

In The Way from 1980 to 1987, I used to be Carl Collar before I adopted the correct spelling of my ancestral name. I have two sons, 17 and 11, live in a great town and have a rewarding job. And I still dream I'm back in the Way Corps.

My Interests

I've written a few books, fiction and nonfiction, none published except the self-published "The Cult That Snapped: A Journey Into The Way International." I like to run and play tennis, am currently obsessed with online chess and have a strange fascination with Bible problems.

Employment or Career

Deputy graphics director at the San Jose Mercury News, where I've worked for 18 years. I do maps, charts, histories, illustrations and all kinds of news graphics. Love the job because it's something different every day.

Music I Like

Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still rock 'n' roll to me. (Don't tell anyone, but I also like Eminem.) Occasional karaoke nut.

Books I Like

Anything by Henry Miller, Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiassen. Also an avid reader of books about the Bible: "The Harlot by the Side of the Road," "Misquoting Jesus," "The Five Gospels."

Television I like

"Family Guy," "Simpsons," "American Dad," "Futurama." Yep, I get all grown up and all I want to do is watch cartoons.

Movies I like

Mel Gibson may be a jerk, but I loved "Apocalypto." Ditto the recent "King Kong." And "The Departed," and "Babel," and "Pan's Labyrinth." Not to mention "The Devil's Backbone" and "Amores Perros."

Sports Teams I like

S.F. Giants, San Jose Sharks, USC Trojans, and I'll always have a place in my heart for the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Hey Karl, good to hear from you. I still love my job. Hey, if you ever come through Houston, I would love to go to lunch or something.

Hi Karl, when I started reading your email, I thought something is different about his name...okay, you changed it, that's interesting.
Great to hear from you. We are living in Savannah with 4 children, Madison and James (almost 15-identical twin boys), Louisa Lake (12) and Kate(9). Jim is practicing Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine, runs 6 sleep labs and has recently started a Hospitalist program in the area hospitals. I do physician recruitment for both the Pulmonary practice and the Hospitalist program. I also own a durable medical company. We are having so much fun here. Both of our families are all here. We are avid hunters and own property across the river in SC. The rest of my life is spent traveling with the boys for tennis. We have not played in CA yet, but sure that will happen in the next few years. Love to you,
Lake

Ahhh, Principal's kid... That might do it! Kodiak is one of the places I get to go for work a couple of times a year. I really like it there, but walking arund the airport to get to the FedEx station makes me nervous, since it is alongside the creek and the Bears are always fishing there. I am never sure if they prefer seafood to the fatted calf, so I am rather nervous. Really, I am rather petrified of bears and it hinders me a bit with hiking through the woods. Unless we carry big guns, which may not be much help unless the safety is off and the gun is in your hand--but it makes one feel better, anyway. Stiill, I like Kodiak and have some nice friends there now.

INteresting comment about Anchorage being unfriendly! That truly is the first time I have ever heard that! Infact, that was one of the biggest reasons I moved here--because everyone was so neighborly. I had been coming to work up for years and finally decided I wanted to live here, too. Was your family in the military, or involved in someplace where no one wanted them to be (ie moving into a village)? Sometimes that might have caused resentment, because of having money that the locals did not, or people feeling like they are a part of an experiment. Very interesting...
Come on back, there are LOTS of very friendly people here at this time! Paul

Karl, It's great to be seen and see you again as well. This is a really wonderful way for all of us to reconnect again with each other. Others have mentioned that it's akin to what the return will be like. I think it's absolutely terrific to be able to communicate with old friends this way! The biggest difference from the return is no hugs.

News item:

Rep. Tom Lantos, questioning Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and his general counsel about why their company gave the Chinese government information that led to the 10-year imprisonment of a Chinese dissident, said, “While technologically and financially you are giants, morally you are pygmies.”

My question: How is this fair to pygmies?

Karl...or Carl to me....please don't say that you have forgetten me, fellow USC Trojan! I was at your wedding (the first one, at least....were there others...?) and have the photos to prove it. Now that I think of it, I was present when you proposed, you romantic soul, you. How the heck are ya?
Mary Barbachano Carroll November 4, 2007 at 7:17pm

Si, como no! Next time I'm that way, I will let you know and we can connect.

Do you know that the first memory I have of you is you working on Bless Patrol at the Corps Chalet and you introducing yourself to me. Then I joined the WC and you ended up being my elder corps. Glad to know you. You were fun. (and something tells me you still are)
