   Hi Knotso;  I am Pam Longley.  Yes, Alerik Queron Longley-McHenry was born at   
   the original site on August 15, 1994 at 6:51 AM. Joe Walsh was on stage   
   singing led zepplin's whole lotta love while I was in labor.  You are   
   incorrect that I kept my labor    
   pains a secret.  I had a 48 minute labor.  I woke up & rolled over to look at   
   my watch, my water broke, had one contraction & was in heavy labor.  I had   
   actually moved to New Paltz in 1993 from Wisconsin to live with his father,   
   who too is from Wisconsin,   
    and to work for Not Fade Away. ( I had my own tie dye business prior to   
   moving to New York) I worked for the factory making the tie-dyes until I   
   learned of the pregnancy & then moved to the retail store for the health of my   
   baby. When Jerry passed away,    
   & then market for tie-dyes dropped, I returned to school and have been a   
   successful paralegal for over 17 years. Alerik, whose name means "power of the   
   land" is now 20 years old and is a beautiful, artistic young man.   If you   
   have further questions, I    
   would appreciate you just ask, rather than stating falsehoods such as that I   
   hid my labor pains.    
      
   Peace, Pam
