Manson now lives in Benson Arizona in his 5th wheel trailer with his dog Jake (a black lab).  We talk several times a week by phone.

Susan got married and had a child a few years after buying the house there in Miami.  I don't know where she is now, but it would be nice to see her again.  I tried to find her with no results.

Jim Bell got married and moved to Boca Raton and started a lawn care service.  I've tried to contact him with no results.
