So anyway he had the checklist card and I didn't. So when he wasn't looking I stole it from him. I left it on an elevated spot in my parents' basement so in case the trouble came I could pretend that it must have fallen out .
So anyway Brantley went home, life went on. Then an hour later he came back to see if he had left the card. I lied through my teeth, my mom said something like he must be mistaken, and he went back home. But he must have known. Anyway I took the card and integrated it into my collection.
This is what I am remembering today. If you ever read this, I apologize Brantley. I feel bad 45 years later.
I am not remembering anything else that happened 45 years ago because I don't want to be morbid and celebrate something so awful, unlike some.

Death and destruction! Whoopie! Get real...Patty takes photos and reports. That's just what she does.
45 Years ago Patty was getting her diaper changed and enjoying her bottle while her daddy enjoyed his.

Col. I don't understand your difference of opinion from last year's anniversary of the crime You wrote a very nice piece in rememberence to the victims I'm sure Patty was not celebrating this terrible tragedy just paying tribute in her on way. Love ya Mrs Patty
Ty William...Colonel does too, he just doesn't know it yet
Y.W Patty if my health holds up I will be joining next year's tour something I've wanted to do since 1st meeting Matt on your blog
So we can DISCUSS THE CASE, NOT CELEBRATE. ;)
Bill
I never celebrated the death of 7 people last year or any year
Sorry for any Miss understanding Col. My comment was meant as a compliment for a very touching well written tribute to the 7 victims
Charlie never lied.
