Before he was DD from the Marines. Now, my father told me that launis was a stone cold killer who loved drugs and drinking, and absolutely hated authority figures of any kind. My father said he once asked Ron why he even joined the marines if he hated taking orders so much...? Launis replied " Well Jimbo, I just love to kill people so much". The next time my dad heard the name Ron Launis after that was in the context of the Wonderland murders. He didnt tell any of us (his children) about any of this until after the movie "Wonderland" was out. My father served in Vietnam with Ron Launis. Before he was DD from the Marines.

I was impressed with how you and Sharon Holmes are able to contuinue to effectively conduct your lives after the Wonderland incident. I am currently a substance abuse counselor in Denver and I discuss with my female clients stories of resiliency. Though I don't mention the both of you specifically, I am reminded of your respective struggles when having discussions with them in therapy sessions. DC Anthony Dear Dawn,

I can only barely comprehend the extremities you must have encountered in your youth. I commend you for your strength of will to move forward and to create a clearer and peaceful future. It is incredibly moving to know that you pulled yourself out of the cycle. All the best for your future. M Human life is so fragile.

You are very blessed to be alive today!!! John Holmes seemed to be a manic and he would have dragged you down with him. I just want to know if you are still in contact with her. You were the only three characters that appeared to be victims of John. But I Must admit Mrs. Holmes seemed to be the only person that he couldnt manipulate. Girl friend was strong!!

It is amazing how you can still feel so much love for those that caused you so much pain in your life. I can speak from experience because though I hated the alcoholic behaviors of my ex-husband, there was once a man there that I did truly love and admire. Unfortunately, that man was lost to me, and all I can remember today is the hatred of how he treated me. Again, the man I shared an addiction and had a "love?" affair with for about three years still has a place inside my heart, though I have no idea where he is today, or if he is even still alive. Again, my heart goes out to you Dawn, as well as Sharon and Susan, wherever she may be. You three women are an inspiration, and my admiration for you goes so deep and I am still just overwhelmed to have an opportunity to share my thoughts with you! You are blessed to have Sharon in your life today. The two of you shared so much together, and both knew such different sides of John Holmes. It is amazing what you two endured! I just realized that in a few days, the anniversary of Wonderland is upon us again. What will it be, 25 years???? God bless those 12 step programs. I'd be lost without mine, and I truly feel it is through working a strong recovery program that I can put so much of the anger and pain in the past. So much is revealed, and even afer peeling off yet another layer, there is still more onion inside. No wonder it is a lifetime program!
