A: The sheriff went to my mother and dad’s house, and at 6:00
o’clock... My dad always got up early, sat and had coffee. He was an
old carpenter and building contractor. He and George were old friends
because he used to go hunting, and dad was making gun stocks, so they
were good friends. They used to play some kind of domino games or 42,
whatever you call it. They were good friends.
Q: So the sheriff went by to see your dad...
A: Dad said he was there at 6:00 o’clock.
Q: The sheriff came by early in the morning and then your dad
immediately came from home and came to see you.
A: After George Wilcox left, my dad came up to the funeral home and
wanted to know what I did.
Q: Did your dad say why the sheriff... Had the sheriff been contacted
by the base, or...
A: No, he just said, he was concerned about what I’d done, how I’d got
in trouble.
Q: Do you remember what he told you about what Wilcox told him?
A: He just said George said I was in trouble at the base, and what did
I do.
Q: Then after having this rude awakening, you then... Did you call the
nurse?
A: Well, yeah, this was in mid-morning. I remember I finally, I waited
until kind of, well, it must have been 9:00 o’clock or so, and I
called. I knew the work station that she always worked at. She was a
general nurse. They didn’t specialize. Just orderlies and everybody was
on general duty in those days. I was informed that she wasn’t there,
she wasn’t working. She wasn’t working that day.
Q: It was one of the other nurses that you talked to?
A: Yeah, it was an old girl by the name of Wilson, Captain Wilson. I
asked her, I said “what happened?” She said, “Glenn, I don’t know what
happened, but she’s not on duty. I’ll try to get the word to her that
you want to talk to her.” She was wanting to talk to me, but she was
sick. She was in total shock.
Q: Did she tell you that later, that she was sick?
A: I knew she was sick. She came out with that towel. She said, she and
the two doctors were sick. Then at the Officers’ Club, she said I want
to know what happened to you, and I’ll tell you what happened to me.
The only way we ever got to the Officers’ Club, the old regular group
said you don’t go anywhere, you keep your mouth shut, [inaudible] said
that. The old group, they would have known us. It probably wouldn’t
have mattered. But these people, hell, these people didn’t know us.
And of course I had a pass, and I had an associate membership to the
Officers’ Club, the funeral home did, so I could go as I pleased. I had
free access to the base.
Q: Did you meet her at the club?
A: She said she’d meet me over there. She was sick. She said I’ll meet
you there.
Q: When you got there, she was at the club?
A: She was walking up when I drove up. She walked over. It wasn’t very
far from the hospital.
Q: She walked from the hospital or...
A: From the nurse’s quarters.
Q: Let me back up to the event with the MPs. They physically hustled
you out of the hospital...
