My father is Richard Peyer and he says that some of the information near the top is incorrect, but he would be happy to correct you.

Hi, Peter,
As I´ve already mentioned elsewhere on the forum, Brian Pickus was the last person I saw in TF before leaving TF in Mallorca 30 years ago. I remember that he had one of his children with him there, but if I remember correctly, he was already separated from his wife, who had the rest of the children at another home. Having known about some things in Mallorca that I hope never happen again, It would give me some comfort to know that all the children are now safe. If there´s some way of knowing this, I certainly would like to know.

All the best.

Yes, "Kid Who Needs To Know", of course, "safe" is relative. I remember B.E. Pickus´ wife from long before Mallorca, even though I didn´t actually speak very much to her, I remember her as being a very pretty and pleasant woman. When he came to Mallorca with just the one child and mentioned that they had been separated "to learn lessons from the Lord" (I don´t remember him specifying whether it was his wife or he, or both, that had to "learn lesons"), I didn´t enquire as it seemed to be a painful subject for him, and because it really wasn´t any of my business. When he discovered that my wife and I had left early one morning, he sped to the ship which we had already boarded and pleaded with us to not leave, and said a prayer for us. There was no physical attempt to get us off the ship. There were a lot of people around us on the ship as witnesses. As he wasn´t a passenger, he was asked to leave the ship, which he did, and that was the last we ever saw of him. I actually saw him as somehow nice, but at times overbearing to an extreme and obsessed with control, and carrying some things inside him that were troubling him and affected his mental state in a negative way. But leaving TF, we had enough problems of our own in readjusting; we didn´t feel any bitterness toward him, but we did want to get away from TF and that general atmosphere as soon as possible, which we did.

Thanks (more than you know) for the response. Which of the wives do you say you remember?

Thanks again!!
