I knew
of the April, 1961 "troubles" at SJ, but it was only when I was
working in the Middletown area c 1961-69 that I regularly commuted
through Berlin and got regular glimpses of the place and heard about
it from fellow workers that I had any inclination to wonder what
went on there. In that general period, I had developed the
"Automated Pavlovian Dog" teaching-machine (also on my web site)
that led to a connection with the Psychology Dept. at Wesleyan
University. The "dog" was shown there and to a number of schools,
hoping to build up my psych-lab construction business. I also
attempted to interest Mr. Francis, knowing of his background, but by
then in the late 1960s he had become excessively suspicious of my
innocent motives, that resolved to "keep tabs" on what further
incidents went on at SJ...which were all-too forthcoming over the
next few years until the place finally closed for good.
