Summary Note
This tape consists of a press conference called by Charles Garry, the principal attorney for Peoples Temple in San Francisco, to present the perspectives of relatives of Jonestown residents who are sympathetic to the project in Guyana. The main speakers – John and Barbara Moore, the parents of Temple members Carolyn Layton and Ann Elizabeth Moore, and the grandparents of Jim Jon (Kimo) Prokes – have recently returned from a week in Guyana, including several days in Jonestown (For John Moore's report of the Moores' trip to Jonestown, see http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/AboutJonestown/PrimarySources/jblist.htm). Other relatives are in attendance, but don’t speak to any great extent during the formal question-and-answer session. Several Temple members also speak, especially during the second half of the tape. Full summary of the recording available at Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website, along with the tape transcript.
