Wyler Military School was located in Evansville in Wisconsin closed in 1979 after a scandal where two employees were under investigation of abuse. The former headmaster Chester DesRochers died before the trial and because he was the center of the investigation the rest of the investigation against another employee was dropped. This was unfortunate as more victims would follow as result of this decision.
It could not have been fun to be there as a teenager.
