A: He was kind of beside of him. I think they were standing there....
Yeah, they were definitely standing there together. I don’t know if
they walked in together, because I didn’t see them until they turned me
around.
Q: Was there a lot of activity at that time? Were there people...
A: People were [fastened] everywhere. And the odd part of it was, there
wasn’t anybody, wasn’t any of our regular people. These were all people
that I’d never seen before. That’s why I got in so much trouble. I’d
never seen these guys.
Q: These were not any of the guys that would ordinarily recognize you
as somebody who would...
A: And they sure as hell didn’t want me there, you know that.
Q: When he says, “Get him out of there,” the redhead, did he make any
threats to you himself? Did he say, “Don’t say anything about this,
forget it...”
A: He said, just like that. He says, “Now listen, Mister, you don’t
go back into town starting a bunch of damn rumors.” This guy swore as
much as I do. Anyway, he said, “Don’t start a bunch of damn rumors,
because nothing happened out here. There’s no plane crashes. Nothing’s
happened. You don’t go in and start.” Then he told the MPs, “Get the
son of a bitch out of here.”
That’s when I said, right then, I said, “Look, Mister, I’m a civilian,
and you can’t do a damn thing to me, you go to hell.” That’s when he
said, “Listen, Mister, somebody will be picking your bones out of the
sand.”
Then the black sergeant said, “Sir, he would make good dog food,” or
something like that. I remember the dog food.
The next morning at 6:00 o’clock the sheriff was out at my dad’s house
and told my dad, “Glenn may be in a lot of trouble with the base, and
tell him to keep his mouth shut.”
I never told my story to anybody, but my dad came up, I was living in a
room at the funeral home. He came up and got me out of bed and wanted
to know what I’d done. He was a very patriotic old man, and he said,
“If you done anything against our government, I’ll take care of it.”
Q: When was this?
A: The next morning.
Q: You were saying what the heck? What’s going on?
A: Yeah. I said, well hey... He said, George Wilcox—the sheriff and my
dad were real good friends, and he said George tells me you’re in a lot
of trouble out there. He wasn’t going to leave, and I told my dad the
story. He got all upset because they threatened me and all this kind of
stuff.
I didn’t see the nurse, then, until the next day. After I saw her, then
I kept calling. When I got back to the funeral home I started calling,
because she was in trouble and so was I.
Q: It was the next morning after you’d been hustled out of there that
your dad came by to see you.
A: Yeah, 6:00 o’clock in the morning.
Q: He’d been called by the sheriff...
