Page 9, News, Tuesday, Sept. 1, 1992 Northern Insights continued from page 5 But Keith's personal life is a living hell. His willingness to make this story public takes plenty of cour- age--something he's needed in. abundance to survive the last decade or so of his life. Keith met the woman who is now his ex-wife, Lisa Promo, while getting his Bachelor's degree at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. They courted for a year, lived together another year, then got married in September of 1981, just as Keith was start- ing the last year of his Bache- - ways of the world evidently. The first year of our marriage was hell, to the extent that the mother-in-law recommended that I divorce her daughter." Keith carried on the marriage, however, "as good husbands are supposed to do."

The phone was regularly let off the hook Sun- days, denying Keith his tele- phone visit. Lisa secretly moved and remarried, forcing Keith into complicated detec- tive work to find his children. The daughter Heather devel- oped behavior problems, the most outrageous of which was assuming "the turtle posi- tion," curled up in a defensive ball under a chair, when a teacher asked her name. Keith had to find out about Heather's problems and a less serious medical problem of his son Ben through second hand sources, even though the terms of their agreement requires Lisa to keep Keith up to date on the "medical, psy- chological, and educational health" of the children. Frustrated by the denial of his rights and unable to afford any further court actions, Keith's only recourse was to continued on page 12 WITH PURCHASE OF $10.00 OR NOR YOUR CHOICE...
