Bill Parr and the house changed my life I'm second in the video by the way Bill advised me counseled me and kept me on a straight and narrow line never allowed me to get out of control on the streets that were out of control. The only regret I have is never being able to say thank you) Bill for all that you did for me in my life but I used everything that you taught me and have now taught by children Joyce if you read this love you for all the care that you gave to me I'll never forget you....

The SAAYP was referred to as the "House" or the "Project" by those of us who were part of it. William "Bill" Parr founded the Project in 1966 and was its Executive Director for 20-years when he stepped down due to illness.  That's me in the being interviewed first. I remember everyone else in the video too.
