Sandra Good
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandra Collins Good (born February 20, 1944 in San Diego, California) is an associate of Charles Manson and a close friend and former room-mate of Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme. She is also known as Blue, a name given to her by Manson because of her blue eyes. She attended Point Loma High School and was a member of the Student Opinion club, along with Margaret Avery, the actress (Cool Breeze, in the Marilyn Monroe part in a blaxploitation remake of Asphalt Jungle)--it is not known if they were actually friends.
She has a son, Ivan, who was born on September 16, 1969. Various people have been named as the father, most notably Joel Pugh and Charles Manson. Both seem doubtful candidates.
Good was a member of the Manson Family but did not take part in the 1969 Tate/La Bianca murders. However, she says she respects those who did. During Manson's trial she shaved her head and carved an X on her forehead to show her support.
In an interview with CBC Radio immediately after Lynette Fromme's attempted assassination of Gerald Ford, Good promised interviewer Barbara Frum "a wave of assassins" to kill people responsible for the killing of trees. She later spent 10 years in prison for sending threatening letters to corporate executives who she believed were polluting the earth.
Upon her release from prison in 1985, Good moved to Vermont, where she lived quietly under the name of Sandra Collins until 1989, when her environmental activism made the news and her identity was made public. Around this time, she moved to Hanford, California, to be closer to Manson.
As late as 2001, Good supported Manson's environmental movement, ATWA (Air Trees Water Animals). She, along with George Stimson, ran a pro-Manson website which went offline in 2001. Good and Stimson have since left Hanford and made no public statements in support of Manson.
