Oz Commune in Harmonsbug Pa.

I lived briefly at the Oz Commune in Harmonsburg and would like to find the photographer who came one evening and took pictures. If you have any please let me know and I will be more than happy to pay for copies. Thanks and bright blessings!

 

Hi Deborah, I would love to have some pics as well. Here's one that i found on Corbis..type Meadville in search or google BE045654
It's called Hippie on farmhouse porch. Please send me any info that you have...cs

 

Can i join this commune?

 

Hi Debbie, I also lived there for a while. I came with the group from California. would love to connect with others who lived there, and see some pictures.

 

gene, you mentioning the southern boys, johnnie, corky wow...that brought back memories. after the commune was busted, some of us went to a farm in upstate n.y. i ended up in berkley, the haight, and then in santa cruz with spaghetti john. i would love to contact anyone from that time. there were some mega cool people. josh with his dog marlow, omg trippy times. i would love to hear from you.

 

Anyone know of these persons associated with oz: Patty pooh, Rebecca (and Amy), Muffin, Ross, hickory, Mike Anthon, Phil keyhoe, Marco, Mary and husband, Yttar and Phaedra, Parnell, Danny, bodyless George? Or anyone else?

 

I was there a lot, though I lived in Greenville. I have a few pictures that I will dig out of Susan and her son Jimmy (?), and a couple of others. Deja [sp] and Patty Pooh spent a lot of time at our house, as did Adolph, Ross (Parson evil) Corky, aqnd Johnny who ended up going back to Florida with my wife Suzy. I know that Josh was in Ben Lomand as was Morgan. Dancing Bear and Linda from Greenville named their son after Morgan, and have been married for almost 45 years. We used to see Cora Lee from time to time when we lived in the Haight. Ed and Carol lived for a while across the hall from us in a fleabag in San Frisco.

 

Hi Deborah - The Crawford County Historical Society is trying to learn as much as we can about Oz from the people who lived there. Would you be willing chat with us about it so we could put together a file telling as much of the story and memories as we could? I would be happy to email questions or even hop on a call.

I was in Meadville. One day outside the Allegheny College Grill, a guy from Oz came up to me and simply said, "Stick out your tongue." I did, suspecting what was about to happen. Yes, he put a tab of acid on my tongue and said "Swallow. Now you should probably go sit under that big tree." i did. Well that was my first trip. I saw the life in the tree, felt the energy of each molecule in the leaves. It was profound. When I came down the guy was still there. He'd watched me for hours, making sure I was ok. "How was it?" he asked. "Oh my god!!!" "Yeah..." He took his leave, I thanked him. I wonder who that was? I knew some of the people from Oz---Marco, Rebecca among others---but never was at the farm until after the bust/fire. A local girl named Eli was out there, was a friend of Rebecca; I think. Eli and I have quite a story, could be a Hwood film, film noir to be sure, a real hellscape. All did not end up in love & flowers for us from that era, sadly, folks.
