not true, in his book is a certain type of blaming somebody who has not yet had the opportunity to speak up. you ve read his book? yes. joyce, you have not read it? no, i haven t. joyce has not read it yet. joyce has been not well and reading that book, which just came out, hasn t been something she is ready for. the excerpts that i have seen in the newspaper are so astounding to me. he told everyone that i was crazy, that i had abused my body with medicines, that i somehow was to blame. there s no doubt about that. now he turns around and, for whatever his reasons are, i don t know what he s trying to accomplish with talking about something he should have shared with me before he ever married
about three years later i was 18 years old, driving home, i saw this hitchhiker about a mile from my house. i thought to myself should i stop, pick him up or should i just keep on going? and i wished i had kept on going but i didn t. turned around, picked him up, and that s when that s when it the night that it became a reality. it just seems so bizarre to me that that this obsession that i had been thinking about and wanting just all the parts are there and they make it possible to make it happen. what happened after you took him to the house? the house was empty. my mother was up in chippewa falls with her family. and my dad was living in a
