Carole continues her story, and I learn the definition of the term “Female Preenings”.
In this milestone episode, I talk with Carole Gerardo, a Stelle resident who bravely brought to light the sexual misconduct perpetrated by Richard. This landmark event made people question who Richard was, and Stelle was going. It completely redefined the community. Before all the turmoil this revelation caused, Carole was just a regular Stelle resident, […]
I continue my conversation with T. J., and we get into some more interesting topics, including Homopolar motors, a lesser known Richard resignation, and the Open Forum board, which operated like an analogue Craigslist!
The very enthusiastic T. J. Johnson wanted to give his perspective on Stelle, so we sat down for a great two-parter. In this first hour, we discuss how a crystal ball foretold his future in Stelle, its connection to a cone of power in WWII, and how women were the power behind the throne in […]
Dr. Jerrold Heinrich is a clinical psychologist who came across The Ultimate Frontier when he was still in his early teens. While he never lived in Stelle, TUF had a profound impact on his entire life. He has a fascinating story, and we cover a lot of ground including Richards thigh carving, a phone call […]
As I finish up my conversation with Kermit, we go into a wide range of topics, including his feelings on The Brotherhoods, Past Life Regressions, Life balancing/karma, the tragic event with Tim Wilhelm, and how he was a dead shot.
In my conversation with Kermit Waggoner, I learned several things I did not know previously. He sat on the board for the Stelle Credit Union. I had no idea such a thing existed. Not only that, Kermit oversaw the dismantling of this organization, as well as the Stelle Group itself! He taught me about integrated […]
Barry Wachtel is a man who has made Stelle his home for a lot of reasons, but apparently desolation is one of them (his words, not mine). We talk about his beginnings in Atlantic City BEFORE gambling, what it takes to bring in more community members, the magic number to incorporate, and why the chicken […]
Bruce Arnold is a working man’s philosopher. He has a grasp on the community and philosophy that not many do. One of the cool delineations he proposes is the difference between the artists/dreamers, and the workers/practical thinkers. We talk about a few of his favorite topics, including greenhouses, preparing for a financial collapse, and his […]
Mark Wilkerson is the modern template from which all new Stelle residents should fit. He is not a part of the fundamentalist TUF philosophy, but instead he enjoys open discussions about all sorts of ideology (he was a philosophy major). Listen as we talk about how he fought Cancer (and won), what his dream house […]
Harry Amick is a passionate man of many talents and interests. In this interview, we really learn about the process of ‘Spinning Out’. This was the term used to describe the gradual progression from coming to the community as an excited difference maker, to leaving the community a little jaded and bitter. This happened to […]
Josh Ragland is a man who found his purpose in Stelle. While in the military, he discovered The Ultimate Frontier and he and his wife wanted to be a part of something special. This is where they started their spiritual journey. Listen as he talks about it being a “Playground for Adults”, his time at […]
In warning, this interview takes place in the middle of a restaurant during one of the Stelle reunions. I have done my absolute best to boost David and I, while simultaneously getting rid of the atmospheric noise. DO NOT be discouraged, because this is a great episode.  David and I talk about his (almost) upstaging […]
Part three of my interview with Argena Marie. We finish up our discussion talking about the Stelle orchard, the possible Brother who pointed her to the community, and how she was (possibly) killed by Richard in a previous life!
In this second interview with Argena, we finally cover her journey to Stelle, along with several other topics including channeling, babies by self-hypnosis, and dark entities (I call them Black Mentalists).
To me, Argena Marie was one of the most compelling people I met in Stelle. She is almost my complete opposite. Where I paint my world in logic and analysis, she uses her feelings and intuition to navigate the complicated landscape. Much like the famous Taoist symbol The Yin and The Yang, we are opposites […]
Stu Parthe is a man on the fringe of the fringe. He hasn’t really been a part of the community in any sort of permanent way, and yet he has been there for 30 years.  To me he was a middle man, a guy stuck between commitments. To me, I found his perspective the most […]
Walter Ring is a historic figure in the Stelle community. He served on the Stelle Group board of Trustees, was employed as the President of the Stelle Phone Company, and was a Waste Water/Treatment Plant Operator. He and is wife Kitty, were two of the chosen few asked to move to Aldephi. Walter was also […]
George Blackman has been a member of the Stelle community for 3 decades. In that time, he has seen a lot of things. We cover about 5% percent of all that in this interview, and it is a good one. We talk about The Brotherhoods, and I even learn a new tidbit about them. George […]
Part 2 of my conversation with Charles Betterton. We learn how his current life trajectory was majorly influenced by his experiences in Stelle, plus his true feelings on Richard.
