European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 12, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 20 a the stars and stripes tuesday May 12, 1992 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers in a writing to add my voice to that of the inmate who wrote to you from a Florida prison and complained about the absence of Erison programs for drug and Alco of abusers. Like your correspondent i have been in prison. My Case made International headlines because i was a Captain for a major airline and was convicted along with the other two Crew members of flying while impaired. At that Point i realized i had to get serious about a recovery program and set out to learn everything i could about the disease that had brought me to the Brink of disaster. The Day after my arrest i entered Anchor Hospital in Atlanta for treatment of alcoholism. My flight Crew and i were informed that there was Only a vague possibility that any charges would be filed. None of us knew of the Federal statute under which All three of us would eventually be convicted. We knew Only that our careers were ruined. Upon entering prison i came across a memo that said 77 percent of the prison population of500 had been incarcerated for drug related crimes. Even More shocking was the fact that there was no program in place to address that problem except a one hour a week video  s crossword nothing to help. I consistently encountered difficulty getting them to simply unlock the door so we could meet. In spite of the system i led the group every week. It was the dear Abby dear Abby 1 can t believe in a actually writing this but the letter signed Quot in love but confused needs some input from someone who has been in her shoes. She was agonizing Over whether to continue her relationship with a married Man who was almost twice her age. The age is irrelevant but let me give her some advice getting romantically involved with a married Man is the most destructive thing a woman can do to herself. I was involved with a married Man my Boss for Many years and the agony and heartache caused by that relationship far outweighed the hours of stolen pleasure. He lived a Happy Normal life As a husband and father but i was in the closet with no other social life while i sat by the phone hoping that he would Call to say he could sneak away for an hour. There May be some who will read this and say that they too were in love with a married person and it turned out Fine. I strongly disagree that an illicit relationship can Ever turn out  even if the affair results in marriage or a permanent commitment you will have destroyed another family in the process. Abby  have often said Quot you can to build happiness on the misery of  no truer words were Ever spoken.

A a first time the inmates were offered an Opportunity to _ Quot be and alcohol prob lems. Our program was appreciated by the inmates and come together and address their drug and Al effective for those who participated. 1 am a hard liner who believes that All alcoholics and addicts Are responsible for their actions. I also know that recovery comes from discovery and there is a time tested method whereby the individual with the support of others who share the same problem can recover. This approach costs the prison absolutely nothing but cooperation and it can reap tremendous rewards. The fact that prison officials Are reluctant to cooperate should be a source of Public outrage. Today i am free and looking toward the future. 1 work As an assistant Counselor in the same Fine Hospital that was responsible for my recovery. I done to know if ill be Able to Fly again but my goal for the moment is to try to give Back All that was Given to me. Please feel free to use my name if you wish. Lyle Prouse Conyers a. Dear or. Prouse you and your Crew members risked the lives of god knows How Many people by drinking on the Job. Moth ers fathers Sisters Brothers and children were on that flight and they had the right to expect that you would bring them safely to their destination.

You deserve a great Deal of credit for having the courage to Buck Quot the  thank you for sharing your Story. C creators Syndicate lovers wife she a hurting herself. If she is smart she will break it off immediately a and never look Back. It takes discipline and determination but its Worth being Able to look at yourself in the Mirror every Day. Been there and free at last dear Abby so an average looking 60-year-old, Short balding married Man goes out delivering concert tickets previously sold by Telephone then comes Home and tells his wife that he was propositioned by three women a Young and quite Good looking. Abby Are we to believe that most women Are sex starved today or could that delivery Man have had some special kind of Charm that enables him to seduce women on sight Carol in Memphis dear Carol there Are two possibilities the ticket delivering gentleman May actually possess a special kind of Charm. In some cases it does t matter what a Man looks like a its the Way be looks at a woman that melts her Down and makes her Knees buckle however Ftp a doubtful that a Man would Send out such seductive signals without making a conscious Effort. Then of course there a always a Chance that the gentleman has a vivid imagination and concocted those tales to make his wife jealous. It happens. C Universal press Syndicate across 1 .
