From The Transmetropolitan Review

The first historian of the anarchist Home Colony was Radium Levin, born there in 1903. He was actually born at a hospital in Tacoma, but he was raised at Home along the sea, within the trees, like dozens of other anarchist children. Decades later, Radium had legally changed his name to Ray LaVen, but in his report-backs for the Home Colony reunions, he always signed with the simple name Radium. It was during the 1945 reunion in Los Angeles that he presented his major work of history, There Was No Place Like Home, a 35-page chronology of events at Home, along with reflections from those who lived there.
