More Folgers Please!


Ines Mejia Folger -- socialite lived with zest

Friday, July 27, 2007




Days after her 100th birthday, Ines Mejia Folger greeted a friend who arrived at her bedside.

"I'm bored," Ms. Folger said. "I should get a job."

The centenarian had only recently given up French lessons to maintain her accent and had employed a personal trainer well into her 90s.

But now she was bored.

She couldn't continue to read; her eyesight had failed some time before, and she couldn't play a hand of bridge. But she could talk, Ms. Folger told her friend John Drum, so maybe she could advise people.

Ms. Folger, known as simply Pui to everyone who knew her, died less than two weeks later on July 15.

Her wise counsel, however, was not lost. The San Francisco native guided generations by example for decades, living life with enthusiasm, curiosity and a large measure of gusto while overcoming a very public and horrifying tragedy, friends said.

Her daughter Abigail had died 38 years ago at the age of 25 -- one of the five people killed by followers of Charles Manson at the Los Angeles home of actress Sharon Tate on Aug. 8, 1969.

"I just don't know how she got through it," said Joan Chatfield-Taylor, a friend of Ms. Folger's over five decades. "She was open about talking about it. And she never lost her sense of humor. It helps when you have one million friends," Chatfield-Taylor said.

Ms. Folger was born Ines Mejia in Piedmont in 1907 -- denied a San Francisco birthright after her family was displaced by the 1906 earthquake.

Her father was the consul general for El Salvador and she spent much of her youth attending schools in France and England.

Decades later, she would enthrall friends at dinner parties with stories about the burial of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and other post-World War I events -- "things that came right out of the history books," Chatfield-Taylor said.

She returned to finish high school at Convent of the Sacred Heart in Menlo Park, but was ultimately denied a diploma because she helped a classmate elope.

In 1933, she married Peter Folger, a member of the coffee family. They had two children, Abigail and Peter, and were divorced in 1952.

Friends described Ms. Folger as the center of attention and the liveliest person in any room. A voracious reader, she was curious about a wide range of topics and had opinions on virtually any idea that was raised at a dinner table.

"She didn't spend her time being shocked and disapproving," Chatfield-Taylor said. "She was always interested in what was going on."

In the mid-1960s, when she was in her 60s, Ms. Folger worked in the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic.

In the 1990s, when she was in her 90s, she met the Dalai Lama.

The Tibetan monk tied a string around Ms. Folger's neck, a simple spiritual token the San Francisco socialite wore for years, Drum said.

"It was a profound experience for her," he said of the encounter that happened at the San Francisco Opera. "She said she looked into his eyes and saw his soul and such humanity."

Ms. Folger was a founding member of the Patrons of the Arts and Music at the Palace of Fine Arts, which eventually evolved into the Fine Arts Museum Board. She was also a board member of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Ms. Folger was a fan of San Francisco gossip and "terribly up to date on it," Chatfield-Taylor said.

"She was in society," she said, "but she didn't take the social scene that seriously."

Ms. Folger is survived by her son Peter Folger of San Francisco; six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

A memorial Mass will be said at 4 p.m. on Sept. 17, at St. Ignatius Church, 650 Parker Ave., San Francisco.

Donations can be sent to the Abigail Folger Library Fund, Santa Catalina School, 1500 Mark Thomas Dr., Monterey, CA, 93940.

R.I.P.


Ines Mejia Folger
Ines Mejia Folger Known to her friends as "Pui", died peacefully on July 15, 2007, three weeks after celebrating her 100th birthday. Born in Piedmont, California on June 25, 1907, she was the sixth and youngest child of Encarnacion and Gertrude Mejia, both of whom were born in El Salvador. At the time of his youngest child's birth, Mr. Mejia was the Consul General for El Salvador in San Francisco. After attending the Convent of the Sacred Heart in San Francisco for the primary grades, Mrs. Folger was sent to Europe at the age of 12 to attend schools in Paris and London. During her schooling in Paris, she witnessed numerous historic post-World War I events, including the pageantry surrounding the burial of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc de Triomphe. She finished high school at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Menlo Park, but was denied a diploma because she had helped a classmate elope in the spring of their senior year. In spite of the lack of a diploma or further formal education, her curiosity about people, places, and events made her a life-long learner by reading widely, traveling extensively, and meeting as many people as she could of all nationalities and from all walks of life. She never lost her love of France, taking French lessons well into her 100th year so she would not lose her accent. Mrs. Folger was married in 1933 to Peter Folger. They divorced in 1952. She had two children, Abigail and Peter. Her daughter died in 1969. Mrs. Folger was involved in numerous civic activities. Among others, she was a founding member of the Patrons of the Arts and Music at the Palace of the Legion of Honor and a member of the Board of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. A project that gave her great satisfaction and was reflective of her commitment to being involved in the events of her time, was working at the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in the mid-1960s. Besides her son, she is survived by her daughter-in-law Barbara; six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. A private Funeral Service occurred on July 18. There will be a Memorial Mass at 4:00 pm on September 17, 2007 at St. Ignatius Church, Fulton & Parker Streets. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to the Abigail Folger Lib- rary Fund, Santa Catalina School, 1500 Mark Thomas Drive, Monterey, CA 93940


[[Some Thoughts....Woman lived a long ass time...nice...could not find ANY pics of her anywhere...shame.... Family never addressed Abigail's murder- look at the comment in the obit that she merely "died"....good luck to the family]]

Horse-Tooth Jackass


I look at this, another special photo that I stole for you all, and I see a very happy young girl, proud of what she has done, thrilled with all the attention she is getting. I DO NOT see a very pretty girl at all. I see a spoiled, pampered brat who is smiling for the camera and exposing her chompers with glee. You just need to look at this not to buy the "I'm so sorry" bullshit from the present day. Because of course we call her a girl, but in this photo she is 21 years old. When my mom was her age she already had two children she was raising. And the Col was not easy to raise.

But I digress.

So anyway, the hell with this bitch getting parole. Just show this photo to the board. "Hi, I'm about to be convicted in the worst murder spree of the century. But I'd really like to go to Disney land." Jackass.

Also don't miss the big X on the bitch's forehead. Really pretty girl indeed.

This is another case where the caption is illuminating so I reprint that also. I never read in the Bug's fiction about any delay that I recall except for Susan needed a dentist I think. Here they talk about cysts and impacted colons, because Susan was full of shit. Hmmm, colon, dentist. Maybe Bug had it right. LOL!

Thank God For Morons


I mean if we didn't have morons who would we have to make fun of and take out the garbage?

Over on KTS Yahoo, the site that banned my superior knowledge and thus inspired this blog I see that they have allowed a monkey in there under multiple names, but mostly Bryan. He is babbling this Ultimate Evil position of Charlie being a CIA operative and shit. Which is all very cool, except he wasn't. He was a two bit con man.

The killings were done by spooks all right- these three bitches who did it and enjoyed it and boasted about it. Pretty spooky whores to have them show up while you are sleeping and then start flashing knives around. (and another special photo)

Sharon didn't know about the murder of Bobby Kennedy. You see Bobby Kennedy was killed by another fucking loon named Sirhan Sirhan. The fact that Paul Tate was in intelligence was WIDELY reported actually, moron. I mean, I don't even have to take your position apart, the normally complacent housewives of KTS are kicking it to shreds as I speak.

The SEVEN victims of TLB were killed by Tex, Sadie, Leslie and Katie. There's no question about that. And they were loser, stoner hippies.

My search is for WHY they were killed. NOT because Charlie was a hitman. NOT because of any bullshit the BUG picked out of his ass. It could be as simple as a damn mistake, thinking Terry was there.

But please Mr. Moron- you people are sick and need help. Stop spreading your lies and bullshit on the web.

There is no such legal term as INNOCENT, People


Here's another rare photo. Pretty cool.

I got an email that I'll excerpt because it bothers me that people can't read. So here we go-


but I just wanted to say that the main
problem that I have
with your theory of
Charlie being innocent is the fact
that
he broke into the Labianca's house and
tied them
up and poof....they were killed
an hour later. What
was his motive for
tying them up? Was he just scaring
them
and letting them know there was going to
be a
creepy crawly going on later on in
the evening?
Probably not.




Thank you kind sir. Except I never had
a theory that Charlie was
innocent. I said that Charlie never
killed anyone. You see, he is
held up as the devil, yet he never killed
a single person. I have this
theory because, well, it's true.
I have a theory about the
brontosaurus, that it is thin on one end,
much much thicker in the
middle then thin again on the other end.



Also, as a disbarred lawyer I can
state that when you are tried in this
country you are either NOT GUILTY or
GUILTY. Not guilty does not
equate to innocence- you could be
guilty but there isn't enough
evidence.



Anyway, that's my theory.

Compare and Contrast

















It's pretty damn cool to look at these old photos in a vacuum and wonder what people who saw them might think if they had no idea wtf was going on.

Like show this one to your pals and ask about the lady in the picture who looks so happy. Was she

1- Rescued from the Arctic after her plane crashed and she was forced to eat her kin.
2- Just finished a free nationwide tour brought to you by Diet Pepsi
3- Finally found her birth mother after a decade long search
4- Sees her presumed dead Army husband in the distance and is about to run to him
5- Is at the courthouse for trying to kill the President of the United States

They'll guess wrong every time!

U-G-L-Y You Ain't Got No Alibi


Here's Katie the day she got her ass arrested.

Most of the captions on these photos are redundant but I include this one because it mentions the stakeout at Auntie's house and I never read that before.



Can you imagine this shit though.

"hey chile, open the door there's some revenuers outside"

" I can't Auntie Em it be the po-lice"

"It can't be that big a deal girl, what did you do."

" I murdered five strangers because I thought it would help me fit in"

"Chile get your ass out of my house pronto!"

Tangential Events


I am always intrigued by the number of events that went on around this case that never got followed through on. Like why did the police believe that Zero committed suicide when we can clearly read what happened and realize he didn't? Why did they never follow up on Joel Pugh's killing? Where was Bruce when he and Nancy went into the sewers for a few weeks?

Is it just me or if some of this shit happened today would the police take a closer look? I think so.

In any case, here is another cool photo of the gang getting arraigned (I guess it is two photos) for giving Fat Hoyt an LSD burger. It is this LSD that has made her lie about Shorty's death for the past few decades. And of course, also made people like Nelson and Bug follow Babs around. You know, for crumbs.

So Listen Closely, Not For Very Much Longer


Here's Squeaky listening to the voices in her head and waving good bye to her entire future.

I still admire that she seems to be the only member of the group who has stuck with being crazy. What some might call keeping the faith.

If you think about it, she probably doesn't even know what really happened those nights (who would have told her) and she hasn't seen Charlie in decades, but she is keeping the faith by gum!

Would ya Do Her?


Any of you guys (sorry ladies) ever play a game of "would ya do her?"

Like I'd have to be blind and retarded to ever do Katie.

Looking at this special photo, I think, "Shit, I'd never do Squeaky that broad is crazy talk. But Nancy....mmmm... that might be good crazy."

Of course she's probably cut my nuts off in the middle. But still.

Hard Copy of Tex

Fucking love this video. The man who stabbed a pregnant woman found God. Probably between Katie's hairy legs.

(poor quality video, good history lesson) (and look- there's Bill!)

Escape Says the Sign


Here is another of those rare photos from ebay that people pay for and the Col steals for your viewing pleasure.

I love the sign that says ESCAPE ( I didn't even crop it that way).

This was taken the day Ruby Pearl testified about what they likely "done to Shorty".

Look how happy these murderous bimbo assholes look!

Yeah, Patricia, you're sorry my hind end!

Katie Pushes Six Months


The Col just heard that Patricia Krenwinkel has pushed her parole hearing six months.

There is a famous parole hearing where she says "I know you want me to kill myself but I cannot take my own life."

Dig it- this bitch along with Tex killed over a half dozen people either because she was into it or because she thought it was a good idea. SHE WANTED TO DO IT.

If she had any decency she would stop applying for parole.

If she had any self respect she WOULD kill herself. As that great line goes, SOME people need killing.

Rehabilitation? Fuck you and die you slaughtering ugly whore.
