A FORWARD

The following is not a tale of fiction, but of reality and fact. It is a story that must be told. A narrative of joy, tragedy, hope, sorrow, corruption, and illegal acts. How I wish much that I am about to share was not so. How I wish I could spin you a wonderful yarn, but this writing is not of that nature.

Liberty and Patrick; 1980

As you turn each page, ask yourself the questions and remember the sayings we all were raised with – “How would you feel if…?”  Remember the classic line bestowed upon us as children “Treat others as you would like to be treated” and who can forget the often referenced “Equal Treatment” claim that so many reach for and claim certainty. Finally, share this account; not just to remind each other of how fragile and precious life is, but to expose the atrocities and illegal acts herein. Such should never happen to anyone ever again.
