20 years ago I had been told that 25% of people in A.P. were from mental institutions and the person quoted was someone notable from the area but I don't know where the information first came from. but it's been said for a very long time so... I agree it'd be interesting to hear from an 'old-timer' if there is any truth to it. (note: I had not heard it quoted as "escaped lunatics" "transported" to the area. that's really something else.)
