   > 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.

   I would also add that with the exception of Patty Gold a volunteer RN who was   
   there, the emts that arrived to assist in my birth were clueless.  One told my   
   mother-in-law to hold me so I didn't push myself through the tent. 2 others   
   who were maybe 17 in    
   age, continued to try to a gurney into a 2 person tent, flooding it with   
   frigidly cold air, & physically causing my body to go into shock, until Patty   
   spoke up & told these morons that I was crowning & having the baby there.  If   
   it wasn't for her, things    
   could have gone much worse.  Needless to say, I am not surprised that those   
   uneducated/inexperienced and judgmental young ones would make such an   
   assumption / accusation  that I somehow "hid" being in labor.  (Ridiculous &   
   impossible, considering he was    
   posterior when I gave birth to him.)  Regardless, he is my blessing and a true   
   gift.
