I was in Troy (NY) too sometime in that time period. I was a kid, 4. My parents were Joah and Carmel Sage, at least I think that was their names. My Mom didn't want to join the group, and my dad did. She was living in an apartment separate from the group with another lady, and the local leadership counselled my dad to abduct me and join the group, which he attempted to do, but she ran down the street screaming at him that she was gonna call the police, so he stopped. I have very vague memories of that time, but I remember being in NY with all the police cars and firetrucks, sirens all the time, since I had grown up in the peaceful countryside.
