Wow, while researching my geneology, I happened on this pic and site. Interesting, though from what i understand bob hale died while in prison for incest. Guess glad not related to him if info true. Thought 60's was peace,love,sex.Free sex of the 60's in my mind was never associated with incestual sex or rape, or any sex of a "hurtful" nature.
Still this site is about alot more than bob, and I did enjoy it and learn from it.

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hale_(Alaska)
Robert Allen Hale, also known as Papa Pilgrim (1941 - May 26, 2008) was a religious zealot who mentally and sexually tortured his family in the Alaskan wilderness.
Prior to living in Alaska, Hale had been involved in two notable incidents with the law. In 1958 he was with a teen aged girl before she was shot. The girl's family blamed Hale, but he was never put on trial. In 1961, he was connected with a break-in involving one of John Kennedy's mistresses.
Robert Hale had gained notoriety through his family's iconoclastic lifestyle. A self-proclaimed devout Christian, Hale moved his family of 17 to Alaska from New Mexico in 1998 and kept them isolated from nearly all outside influences, including churches.
In 2002, Hale launched a legal battle with the National Parks Service over his plan to bulldoze a road to land his family owned inside the remote Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which refused to hear the case.
The Papa Pilgrim saga ended in 2005 when family members told police Hale had routinely beaten and raped his eldest daughter for years. He was incarcerated in September 2007 and died eight months later on May 26, 2008.

Did Mr. Hale die of natural causes in jail?

I believe Bob died from ill health. I know some people would have wished he had gotten a little payback but who knows the complexity of karma enough to pass judgment.

Now is the time for all good freaks to come to the aid of the movement towards a pain-free society.
