Timothy Leary and the Mad Men of Millbrook
Born in Milwaukee and educated in Boston, Theodore P. Druch went on to take a “higher” degree at Timothy Leary’s LSD commune at Millbrook, NY. He has written about this experience in a “true” novel, Timothy Leary and the Madmen of Millbrook.     After his graduation from the Psychedelic Academy, he went on to become a general contractor in San Francisco, mostly remodeling old Victorians. Their houses anyway.     At the age of fifty-eight, he and his partner, Maria Ruiz, chucked it all and ran away from home to see the world. They spent ten years traveling to fifty-two countries, and living in several for extended periods.   Today, Druch lives in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he rekindled an old love of writing. He is an active member of the Puerto Vallarta Writer’s Group, and co-conducts a weekly workshop for serious authors. He was chairman for the 7th Annual PVWG International Writers Conference in February, 2012.
