Wow, what a story!  I am so glad he has loving people to help him, like his granddaughter Jaclyn Fraley, his attorney and others. On the other hand, his daughter is a real sleazy lowlife. To put it mildly. Hmmm, wonder if this is the same woman? https://www.facebook.com/janice.cottrill.7

Scientolgy is a very dangerous sect that should be banned everywhere. Alas, there are too many wealthy people with clout associated with this outfit, which is why Scientology continues to thrive.

But that's not enough--GM wants to add Internet? I can hear it now: "But officer, I didn't mean to kill those people. I...more
