Also, I have been thinking more today about how I have reacted to memories I still have of the time period before 6/13/2005.
I think of that change now as being some kind of loss of context. Not so much a fragmentation of memory but a loss of context about memory. A key fact changed and so that causes my mind to ignore certain facts about before 6/13/2005.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 03/30/07 3:08 AM
A very detailed dream about being on a Luge course at an Olympic competition. I can remember that I made two timed runs through the course. I can remember very clearly the first part of the course going down a large hill and going very fast. But the weird part is that I was going backwards and that I had to make a 90-degree turn about half-way through the course, which was very tricky. There was a wall there at the turn that I would have hit if I hadn't got it right. I can remember making course adjustment to my sled as I was traveling backwards and approaching the turn that would be to my left as my back was to it and it was a turn that I couldn't even actually see. I can remember that my time was in the range of 13-something, which I guess means the course took me over 13 minutes. I had no idea if that was good enough time to earn a gold medal. Then I was back at the course start I guess to make a third run. But I didn't see any point to it so I went into some kind of nearby building to return my sled. But at that point, my sled was some kind of copper-colored rocket. There were three people in the room and one was Thedia. Another was a woman I remember as Donna, who was friend of Thedia's when we lived in that rented house on Dequincy in De Queen. I don't know who was the 3rd person as he was talking to Donna and had his back to me. I went back outside to make my third and final run and I remember that Donna was announcing my name over the PA but she kept getting my middle name wrong. First she called me Kerry Abner Burgess and then she called me Kerry Charlie Burgess, and she was saying something else but I think at the end, she just like the mike open and wasn't saying anything. I was at the start of the Luge course while she was talking and I was configuring my sled but now it included a chair from a kitchen table. It seemed that the chair would drag behind me on ropes. Instead of having the chair with its back flat to the ice while the legs were horizontal to the ice, the back of the chair was vertical to the ice while the legs were horizontal to the ice. Throughtout the dream, I have the indescribable sense of the blue sky, which I can almost visualize and which I could seen parts of the horizon of the sky and their is some indescribable notion connected to that visualization about jet aircraft.

CHAPTER 11
INFRASTRUCTURE
The lawyer made the call, and unsurprisingly found that it developed into a luncheon in a restaurant where a man of forty or so asked a few simple questions, then left before the dessert cart was wheeled up to the table. That ended his involvement with whatever would happen. He paid the check with cash and walked back to his office haunted by the question-what had he done, what might he have started? The answer for both, he told himself forcefully, was that he didn't know. It was the intellectual equivalent of a shower after a sweaty day's work, and though ultimately not as satisfying, he was a lawyer, and accustomed to the vicissitudes of life.
His interlocutor left the restaurant and caught the Metro, changing trains three times before settling on the one that ran near his home, close to a park known for the prostitutes who stood about, peddling their multivalued wares for passersby in automobiles. If there were anywhere an indictment of the capitalist system, it was here, he thought, though the tradition went further back than the onset of the current economic system. The women had all the gaiety of serial killers, as they stood there in their abbreviated clothing made to be removed as rapidly as possible, so as to save time. He turned away, and headed to his flat, where, with luck, others would be waiting for him. And luck, it turned out, was with him. One of his guests had even made coffee.
"This is where it has to stop," Carol Brightling said, even though she knew it wouldn't.
"Sure, doc," her guest said, sipping OEOB coffee. "But how the hell do you sell it to him?"

FLIGHTS OF NECESSITY
Clark was about halfway across the North Atlantic when Popov awoke on his own again at seven-fifteen. He ordered breakfast sent up and got himself clean in preparation for a busy day. By eightfifteen, he was walking out the front door, and looked first of all for a men's store that was open for business. That proved to be frustrating, until finally he found one whose doors opened promptly at nine. Thirty minutes later, he had an expensive but somewhat ill-fitting gray suit, plus shirts and ties that he took back to his hotel room and into which he changed at once. Then it was time for him to walk to Central Park.
The building that guarded the Central Park Zoo was strange to behold. It was made of brick, and had battlements on the roof as though to defend the area against armed attack, but the same walls were dotted with windows, and the entire building sat in a depression rather than atop a hill, as a proper castle did. Well, American architects had their own ideas, Popov decided. Hecirculated about the area, looking for the FBI agents (or perhaps CIA field officers? he wondered

CHAPTER 19
SEARCHING
The decision had come with unusual speed from Number Two Dzerzhinsky Square, and a courier was now on his way. Kirilenko was surprised to get the coded message. The courier was flying Aeroflot to Heathrow with a diplomatic bag, which was inviolable so long as the courier kept it in his possession countries had been known to steal them for their contents, which were often uncoded, but couriers knew about that, and played by a strict set of rules-if they had to visit the can, so did the bag. And so with their diplomatic passports they breezed through control points and went off to the waiting cars that were always there, carrying the usually canvas bags often full of valuable secrets past the eyes of people who would trade their daughters' virtue for one look.
So it happened here. The courier arrived on the evening flight from Moscow's Sheremetyevo International, was waved through customs, and hopped into the waiting car driven by an embassy employee. From there it was a mere forty minutes through rush-hour traffic to Kensington, Lind from there to Kirilenko's office. The manila envelope was sealed with wax to ensure that it hadn't been tampered with. The rezident thanked the courier for this and two other packages and went to work. It was late enough that he'd have to pass on his usual pint of bitter tonight. It was an annoyance to him. He honestly enjoyed the atmosphere of his favorite pub. There was nothing like it in Moscow, or any of the other countries he'd served in. So now, in his hands was the complete dossier on Clark, John T., senior CIA field officer.

"What black operation is that?" the desk officer asked over the secure phone link.
"I have no idea, but he is a serious man, remember? A colonel of the Innostrannoye Upravleniye, you will recall, Division Four, Directorate S."
"Ah, yes, I know him. He spent much time at Fensterwalde and Karlovy Vary. He was RIF'd along with all those people. What is he doing now?"
"I do not know, but he offers us information on this Clark in return for some of our data. I recommend that we make the trade, Vasily Borissovich."
"Clark is a name known to us. He has met personally with Sergey Nikolay'ch," the desk officer told the rezident. "He's a senior field officer, principally a paramilitary type, but also an instructor at the CIA Academy in Virginia.

CHAPTER 23
OVERWATCH
Clark frowned mightily, but he knew the drill, too, from his time in the field. You wanted information to develop, but merely wanting it never made it happen. Things like that just came to you when they decided to come. It was that simple, and that maddening, especially when you knew it was there and you knew that you needed it. With one small bit of information, Rainbow could turn some national police force loose and sweep up the person or persons they wanted and grill them over a slow fire until they got what they needed. The French or the Germans would be best-neither of them had the legal restrictions that the Americans and Brits had placed on their police forces. But that wasn't a good way to think, and the FBI usually got people to spill their guts, even though they treated all criminals with white kid gloves. Even terrorists, once caught, usually told what they knew-well, not the Irish, John remembered. Some of those bastards wouldn't say "boo," not even their own names. Well, there were ways of handling that level of recalcitrance. It was just a matter of speaking to them outside of police view, putting the fear of God, and of pain, into them. That usually worked - had always worked in John Clark's experience. But first you needed somebody to talk to. That was the hard part.
As a field officer of the CIA he'd often enough been in distant, uncomfortable places on a mission, then had the mission aborted or just as bad, postponed-because some vital bit of information had been missing or lost. He'd seen three men and one woman die for that reason, in four different places, all of them behind the Iron Curtain. Four people, all of whose faces he'd known, lost, judicially murdered by their parent countries. Their struggle against tyranny had ultimately been successful, but they hadn't lived to see it or enjoy the fruits of their courage, and it was part of Clark's conscience that he remembered every single one of them and because of that he'd grown to hate the people who'd had the information he'd needed but had not been able to get out in time. So it was now.

Part II: A Corvette Plays A Key Role
The investigation into the killings intensified. The task force began electronic surveillance of East Sprague Avenue, shooting hundreds of hours of videotape. Despite the extra effort, it wasn’t long before the serial killer struck again.
On April 18, 2000 the Spokane police arrested Robert Yates, Jr.

Robert Lee Yates Jr.
BY Gary C. King
On Tuesday, November 10, 1998, the Spokane serial killer task force operatives were out in numbers as they had been for some time now. It had been less than a month since Connie Ellis had been killed on the other side of the state, and based on the killer's prior activities the cops knew that it would be only a matter of time before he struck again. It was 1:25 a.m. when Spokane officers observed a man driving a silver 1985 Honda Civic, Washington license plate identification 918AJH, pull over and pick up known prostitute Jennifer Robinson on the corner of 1st and Crestline, another area of Spokane well known to be frequented by working prostitutes.

Father of 5 tied to serial deaths
By Kim Barker, Mike Carter
Seattle Times staff reporter
SPOKANE - The killer was viewed as a monster, as a shadow man who murdered prostitutes and dumped them in out-of-the-way places like Hangman Valley.
But Robert Lee Yates Jr. is a husband of almost 24 years. He is a father of five who has never been convicted of a felony. He is a 47-year-old, slightly balding man who combs his hair from right to left and lives in a split-level home that has a basketball hoop.
Now he's been charged with first-degree murder, suspected of killing Jennifer Joseph, a 16-year-old girl who worked as a prostitute. The evidence is small but damning: A mother-of-pearl button. Bloodstains on the seat-belt buckle of his Corvette. Carpet fibers. DNA.
By the end of yesterday, the Spokane Homicide Task Force announced that it thinks it has found a serial killer. Yates is the leading suspect in the deaths of at least 12 women and maybe 18. Preliminary DNA results and other evidence link Yates to the deaths, said Spokane County Sheriff Mark Sterk, who wouldn't elaborate.
But a law-enforcement source said investigators have been able to link some of the victims to one another - and then allegedly to Yates - through ballistic matches on bullets taken from some of the bodies.
Yates' arrest will almost certainly pique the interest of police in other areas where he lived. While in the Army, Yates lived in New York, Massachusetts and Alabama, and overseas he lived in Germany and Somalia. He joined the Washington Army National Guard in April 1997 and trained one weekend a month at Fort Lewis.
Police in Watertown, N.Y., where Yates was stationed at Fort Drum in the early 1990s, said detectives may travel to Spokane to interview Yates about the unsolved slaying of Tina Hosmer Smith 10 years ago.
Killings began in 1990
The Spokane deaths started in 1990: three that year, one in 1992, one in 1995, one in 1996. Joseph and Heather Hernandez were found the same day, Aug. 26, 1997.
Then the deaths picked up. Darla Sue Scott, found in nearby Hangman Valley in Nov. 5, 1997. Four more in December 1997, five in 1998. Those 10 deaths have been linked to the same killer, but the task force isn't saying how.
Most of the women at some time sold sex. They used drugs. Fourteen were found in Spokane, two in Tacoma and one in south Kitsap County. Melody Murfin just hasn't been found.
This mystery has haunted the community and the state. Were these deaths tied to the Green River killer? Or the missing prostitutes from Vancouver, B.C.? Police looked into these possibilities and came up with nothing conclusive.
People called in more than 6,000 tips to the task force. Serial killer Henry Lee Lucas confessed, but his confession didn't pan out. Neither did a sailor who admitted to a cross-country killing spree last week, nor a man charged with killing his daughter in Spokane.
Now there's Yates. In Spokane, he lived in a subdivision with winding roads and surprise dead-ends and sport-utility vehicles and icicle lights just waiting for the holidays. His house is five miles south of the area where most of the women disappeared.
Yesterday, a crowd gathered around a TV screen in the Spokane Public Safety Building to see Yates in his initial appearance.
He wore drab, olive coveralls. When he was charged with first-degree murder, he scratched at his face. As the court commissioner read the six-page summary of facts, he looked at the ceiling, sometimes straight ahead.
He didn't say much. "Yes." "Yes, it is." "Yes, I am." "No, I don't have anything to say at this time, thank you."
He confirmed he had lived in Spokane for four years and had worked at Kaiser Aluminum since December 1998.
He has a speeding ticket for his Corvette. He was charged with misdemeanor assault, in November 1998, for assaulting his then-19-year-old daughter in their home.
That same month, Spokane police saw Yates pick up a known prostitute. He and the woman in the car told the officer he was driving her home at her father's request. Police interviewed him Sept. 15, 1999, but at that time Yates was just one of many people police were keeping an eye on in connection with the case. He didn't become a "person of interest" until the results of the tests on his car carpet came in.
Court documents released yesterday indicate the Corvette, which Yates bought in September 1994, produced a wealth of evidence linking him to Jennifer Joseph.
According to the prosecutors' statement of facts, Yates frequented prostitutes in the East Sprague Avenue area. Joseph was last spotted there in a white car with a white man.

Remarks on Human Cloning Prohibition Legislation
April 10, 2002
Well, thank you all so very much for coming to the White House. It's my honor to welcome you to the people's house.
I particularly want to honor three folks who I had the honor of meeting earlier— Joni Tada, Jim Kelly, and Steve McDonald. I want to thank you for your courage; I want to thank you for your wisdom; I want to thank you for your extraordinary perseverance and faith. They have triumphed in the face of physical disability and share a deep commitment to medicine that is practiced ethically and humanely.
All of us here today believe in the promise of modern medicine. We're hopeful about where science may take us. And we're also here because we believe in the principles of ethical medicine. As we seek to improve human life, we must always preserve human dignity. And therefore, we must prevent human cloning by stopping it before it starts.
I want to welcome Tommy Thompson, who is the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a man who is doing a fine job for America. I want to thank Members from the United States Congress, Members from both political parties who are here. I particularly want to thank Senator Brownback and Senator Landrieu for sponsoring a bill about which I'm going to speak. As well, we've got Senator Frist and Senator Bond and Senator Hutchinson and Senator Santorum and Congressmen Weldon, Stupak, and eventually Smith and Kerns. They just don't realize—thank you all for coming—they seem to have forgotten we start things on time here in the White House. [Laughter]
We live in a time of tremendous medical progress. A little more than a year ago scientists first cracked the human genetic code, one of the most important advances in scientific history. Already, scientists are developing new diagnostic tools so that each of us can know our risk of disease and act to prevent them.
One day soon, precise therapies will be custom made for our own genetic makeup. We're on the threshold of historic breakthroughs against AIDS and Alzheimer's disease and cancer and diabetes and heart disease and Parkinson's disease. And that's incredibly positive.
Our age may be known to history as the age of genetic medicine, a time when many of the most feared illnesses were overcome. Our age must also be defined by the care and restraint and responsibility with which we take up these new scientific powers.
Advances in biomedical technology must never come at the expense of human conscience. As we seek what is possible, we must always ask what is right, and we must not forget that even the most noble ends do not justify any means.
Science has set before us decisions of immense consequence. We can pursue medical research with a clear sense of moral purpose, or we can travel without an ethical compass into a world we could live to regret. Science now presses forward the issue of human cloning. How we answer the question of human cloning will place us on one path or the other.
Human cloning is the laboratory production of individuals who are genetically identical to another human being. Cloning is achieved by putting the genetic material from a donor into a woman's egg, which has had its nucleus removed. As a result, the new or cloned embryo is an identical copy of only the donor. Human cloning has moved from science fiction into science.
One biotech company has already began producing embryonic human clones for research purposes. Chinese scientists have derived stem cells from cloned embryos created by combining human DNA and rabbit eggs. Others have announced plans to produce cloned children, despite the fact that laboratory cloning of animals has lead to spontaneous abortions and terrible, terrible abnormalities.
Human cloning is deeply troubling to me and to most Americans. Life is a creation, not a commodity. Our children are gifts to be loved and protected, not products to be designed and manufactured. Allowing cloning would be taking a significant step toward a society in which human beings are grown for spare body parts and children are engineered to custom specifications, and that's not acceptable.
In the current debate over human cloning, two terms are being used, reproductive cloning and research cloning. Reproductive cloning involves creating a cloned embryo and implanting it into a woman with the goal of creating a child. Fortunately, nearly every American agrees that this practice should be banned. Research cloning, on the other hand, involves the creation of cloned human embryos which are then destroyed to derive stem cells.
I believe all human cloning is wrong, and both forms of cloning ought to be banned for the following reasons. First, anything other than a total ban on human cloning would be unethical. Research cloning would contradict the most fundamental principle of medical ethics, that no human life should be exploited or extinguished for the benefit of another. Yet, a law permitting research cloning, while forbidding the birth of a cloned child, would require the destruction of nascent human life.
Secondly, anything other than a total ban on human cloning would be virtually impossible to enforce. Cloned human embryos created for research would be widely available in laboratories and embryo farms. Once cloned embryos were available, implantation would take place. Even the tightest regulations and strict policing would not prevent or detect the birth of cloned babies.
Third, the benefits of research cloning are highly speculative. Advocates of research cloning argue that stem cells obtained from cloned embryos would be injected into a genetically identical individual without risk of tissue rejection. But there is evidence, based on animal studies, that cells derived from cloned embryos may indeed be rejected.
Yet, even if research cloning were medically effective, every person who wanted to benefit would need an embryonic clone of his or her own to provide the designer tissues. This would create a massive national market for eggs and egg donors and exploitation of women's bodies that we cannot and must not allow.
I stand firm in my opposition to human cloning. And at the same time, we will pursue other promising and ethical ways to relieve suffering, through biotechnology. This year for the first time, Federal dollars will go towards supporting human embryonic stem cell research consistent with the ethical guidelines I announced last August.
The National Institutes of Health is also funding a broad range of animal and human adult stem cell research. Adult stem cells, which do not require the destruction of human embryos and which yield tissues that can be transplanted without rejection, are more versatile than originally thought. We're making progress. We're learning more about them. And therapies developed from adult stem cells are already helping suffering people.
I support increasing the research budget of the NIH, and I ask Congress to join me in that support. And at the same time, I strongly support a comprehensive law against all human cloning. And I endorse the bill—wholeheartedly endorse the bill— sponsored by Senator Brownback and Senator Mary Landrieu.
This carefully drafted bill would ban all human cloning in the United States, including the cloning of embryos for research. It is nearly identical to the bipartisan legislation that last year passed the House of Representatives by more than a 100-vote margin. It has wide support across the political spectrum. Liberals and conservatives support it. Religious people and nonreligious people support it. Those who are pro-choice and those who are pro-life support the bill. This is a diverse coalition, united by a commitment to prevent the cloning and exploitation of human beings. It would be a mistake for the United States Senate to allow any kind of human cloning to come out of that Chamber.
I'm an incurable optimist about the future of our country. I know we can achieve great things. We can make the world more peaceful. We can become a more compassionate nation. We can push the limits of medical science. I truly believe that we're going to bring hope and healing to countless lives across the country. And as we do, I will insist that we always maintain the highest of ethical standards.
Thank you all for coming.

This one other memory came up with a time when Denzil told me I had made my point. I think he wanted me to come back home because my mother missed me.

I remember people telling me their opinions and I didn't really want to hear it. One guy was telling me how great home cooked meals are, Micheal telling me I was crazy. My physics teacher said something about to me in class one day but I can't remember what he said. Micheal drove up to where I worked after school and took Denzil's dog box that I had in my truck. They were large wooden boxes that filled the bed of the pickup and that we put the hunting dogs into for transport. There was one point there after that where my mother was extremely angry at me. I had snuck into the house one day to get my clothes and they were taking a nap and I didn't want them to know I was there. Something was wrong with my Chevrolet and my girlfriends father let me borrow his El Camino.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_%28legal_term%29
An accessory is a person who assists in the commission of a crime, but does not actually participate in the commission of the crime as a joint principal. The distinction between an accessory and a principal is a question of fact and degree:
The principal is the one whose acts or omissions, accompanied by the relevant mens rea, are the most immediate cause of the actus reus (Latin for "guilty act"). If two or more people are directly responsible for the actus reus, they can be charged as joint principals (see common purpose. The test to distinguish a joint principal from an accessory is whether the defendant independently contributed to causing the actus reus rather than merely giving generalised and/or limited help and encouragement.

Had that dream again about that house in Country Club Estates. The details of the location seemed highly consistent with my "memories" of that house. In the dream, Denzil and Thedia were there and Denzil and I were talking about raking leaves in the yard. He went outside and was raking the front yard as Thedia was sitting in a lawn chair watching him. I looked out the window at the backyard and was getting ready to go out there and rake the leaves. I noticed a new house that was almost completed and felt annoyed that so many houses were close to my lot. Started putting on my Nike Pegasus shoes but decided to put on my boots because the grass was wet from rain.

Something about how Reagan turned 70 years old on 2/6/81. Not sure precisely what that is supposed to mean to me. Also after I awoke, I understand I had been dreaming something else about Denzil Draper and how I "remembered" that he named his son, Michael Dean Draper, after Denzil's father, who was named Dean. But what I started thinking was that "Dean" represents the Dean of a university. Not entirely sure what that is really supposed to mean either.

Fifi. That was Donna's other dog's name. She had a Pomeranian and a smaller dog that I can't "remember" its breed. I was writing about this the other day and I may have written that Pomeranian’s name, but I can't "remember" it now. Or was that Pomeranian named Fifi and the littler red one named Foxy? I can't remember for certain now, but that name Fifi means something and I think it was one of Donna's dog's. Donna was a friend of Thedia, she had a gold Trans Am, and she lived with us for a little while on Dequincy Avenue. I "remember" something about an argument Thedia and Donna had because Donna had been dating Denzil first and then Thedia started dating him.

W Douglas Ave
Wilton, Arkansas
Not sure if in the span of the past couple decades I ever wrote about that time I can still remember well of those woods I used to hunt in near that first house we lived in Wilton Arkansas. That was the early 1980s, perhaps the year 1980. I was walking by myself along a path I often followed deep into the woods behind our house and I noticed at one point my step-brother Michael was crouched down around some trees and had his gun pointed at me. I think he quickly dropped it and and laughed but I remember I was annoyed by that. He told me his gun wasn't loaded at the time.
Another memory I think I have written before here in my journal and journals spanning the past couple decades is about the night he died. I'm pretty sure I wrote about how he gave me some shotgun shells a few hours before he died. I can still visualize that. Those green shotgun shells were either .410 caliber or 20 gauge. I had them in my pocket the next day I could swear I wrote about how I left them at his grave a few days later when I went back there by myself and before I left for Virginia.
I thought often about that night and I know I've written before about those memories. I was home on leave from the US Navy. I had completed US Navy Fire Controlman "A" School and I was on leave before attending US Navy Fire Controlman Guided Missile Fire Control Computer Complex School in Virginia. That was November 1986. There was nobody else around there I knew to hang around with. Michael's father, still married to my (suurogate) mother at the time, was the supervisor at the gravel pit in Wilton. Michael had graduated high school in 1985 and he was working at the gravel pit in the nights as the night watchman, thanks to his father. I don't recall if Michael had any real plans for the future. He was always in remedial classes in high school so I doubt college was ever a real plan.
That reminds me of something else I have been thinking about lately. I have been wondering if Denzil was illiterate. That's a real possibility. As best I recall he went to school only through the 4th grade. There was a story I heard often back then about how when he was younger and working at the gravel pit he was seriously injured by electrocution. So I guess he learned how to read those words. I have wondered about that because of something I did when we were all living together on Hicks Road. Denzil raised hunting dogs and I was planning on get my own hunting dog, a breed I cannot now recall, and raise it for hunting. I told Denzil I was going to name it "deeohgee". He came back to later and told me that stupid. Perhaps that was after he relayed to his buddy Ambrus Chauncy about my choice for a name. At some point Ambrus started always calling me "Einstein". Denzil was often calling me "stupid".
So anyway, that night of 24 November 1986 Michael was supposed to be working as nightwatchman at the gravel pit but instead I was riding around with him and I was drinking beer. He drove me out to Oklahoma at least twice that night so I could buy beer, being on leave as I was having just graduated my second school in the US Navy Advanced Electronics Field school curriculum. At one point late at night we were back at the sprawling gravel pit along the river and riding in his pickup truck and he drove far away from the front office, a trailer where the weight scales were recorded, and he tried driving his small pickup truck over a massive sandpile. As I warned and as I knew he should have known, he got the vehicle stuck in the sand. He and I had to walk a long ways back the equipment shed to get one of the heavy equipment vehicles to pull it out. I don't recall how far away that was but I would now guess that was over a mile and maybe two miles. In the dark with only flashlights out there in the middle of nowhere.
And he did that three times that night. Three times he drove onto that sandpile and three times we had to walk back to get the front-end loader or whatever it was, that could tow his pickup truck out of the sand.
On one of those long walks back that night, possibly after midnight passed into 25 November 1986, was when he have me the shotgun shells.

When we lived on Hicks Road, this black labador showed up at our house one day, never did figure out where it came from. And man, could that dog jump. He could stand on the ground and jump clear over the closed tail gate of my pickup into the bed. Never had seen a dog that could do that. After a while though, we got tired of it. It was always getting into something or just always getting something messed up, just a nuisance. A very nice looking dog, but a lot of trouble. One evening, Denzil told Micheal and me to drive it off to the dump and leave it there. So we drove out to the landfill and was going to leave it there. Because it could jump so high, we weren't able to just drop it off and drive away because it would always jump back into the bed. So I had Micheal sit in the back of the truck and hold the dog while I got a running start with the truck. I had one of those dog carriers in the back that filled up my whole bed so he was sitting on top of it, even with the sides of the truck bed, and was going to push it off the back as soon as we were going fast enough. At some point, I was going fast enough that I thought Michael had pushed the dog out. I think I might have yelled back at him when to do it or I heard him yell something to me. I could still hear the dog barking so I figured it was running fast after us and I knew if it got close enough, it was going to jump in the back. So I sped up and was probably in third gear by the time I left the landfill and hit the gravel road to it. By the time I got out to the paved road, which I think was Highway 108, judging by the map and my memory of the landfill being down the road from Ambrus Chauncey's house, which the map indicates, and supports my memory, was an area, don't remember it being an actual town, was called Oak Grove. The landfill was near a big curve in the road that the map has what seems to be a dirt road intersecting with it labeled Little River 307. I think it was that county road 307 that had the land fill on it. So anyway, I got out to 108 and I could still hear the dog barking, which made no sense, that dog had to really be running because I was flying. After I swerved out onto the pavement, I looked back through the window and it was the damned dog that was standing on the dog carrier looking back the way we had come. Michael was no where to be seen to my complete shock! I stopped turned around and headed back as fast as I could. I got back into the landfill, it was pitch black that night, and eventually my headlights found Micheal walking along in the dark towards where I had left. He said that he tried to throw out the dog, but went over the end himself as the top of the dog box was slick. How that dog managed to keep its footing was beyond. I can't remember every detail of this story but I remember telling it many times because we laughed for a long time about it. I could never forget how shocking it was to see that dog still standing on the dog box in the dim glow of the tail lights. I laughed my butt off thinking about what Michael had told me about watching me speeding off and how it got quite for a minute and then the junkyard dogs started barking. I could just imagine that very well for some reason.

What that reminded me of, in specific proximity to other dialog, is a kid named Dwayne Dinger that I went to high school with in Ashdown Arkansas back in the early 1980's. The reason that is relevant to this official statement is because I clearly remember being surprised, and I was imparting that surprise to other people in the hours afterwards, that someone, back during that ten year high school reunion I went to in Ashdown, that someone told me that Dwayne Dinger wanted to talk to me and Michelle Center. There might have been a third person named but I cannot now recall. I remember Michelle because she and I had both served in the United States Navy. She enlisted maybe a year after I went on active duty and she was rated as a Postal Clerk, as I recall. The reason that was surprising to me was because, as I recall now, Dwayne Dinger would be the last person I expected to hear from at the class reunion. I remembered him but I didn't know him hardly at all. I might have spoken to him in passing at most. At that time in 1994, as I recall now he was still serving a life prison sentence in Arkansas for killing his family members. If I recall correctly, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps after we graduated in 1984. I don't recall when he joined. Considering that we graduated high school on a Friday and I was inducted into boot camp three days later I would guess I was the first one of the class to start serving the United States military. As best I recall now, he was AWOL from the marines and was at his parents house and I think he killed them and maybe a sibling. I don't recall the year he did that but I would guess that happened in 1985. I don't think he had been serving very long before that happened. I can recall that I made a brief search in recent weeks or months on the internet for details about that incident but I didn't find anything and I cannot now recall what made me start looking for those details. So that was August 1994. Dwayne Dinger wanted to talk to us.
