Laura Johnston Kohl: Jonestown Survivor
Posted February 14, 2016 at 11:33 am by Tim Dustrude
When 914 members of the People’s Temple and four visiting Americans died in Guyana, South America on November 18, 1978, Laura Johnston Kohl survived. She was one of 87 who lived through the trauma.
In 2010, she published her book JONESTOWN SURVIVOR: An Insider’s Look. Laura will be talking about surviving the tragedy, living with guilt and how she managed to reclaim her life.
Her book will be for sale at the event. Refreshments are courtesy of the Friends of the Library.
Wednesday, February 17 at 7 pm at the San Juan Island Library. Free.
