Thanks for that Billoween I was wondering who that was dealing with the bus before Biechele / good thing he helped him get the bus away safety. He was a great asset to so many different areas...

[QUOTE=billoween;1565054]

Jimmy D - Howdy. I don't believe people were declared dead until they'd been officially "processed." And many victims were not processed until after midnight--which, of...

Howdy back at ya Billoween I watched the video again concentrating on the movements of the officer and I did see what you had described . The railing with poster was a obstacle for sure to the...

Thanks Billoween, I follow along with the vid and you are spot on. Great rep of the events as they unfolded. I always wondered that that officer must have gotten out just after the camera swung...

Very interesting Billoween, I did try to picture it the day we were there but the land was changed so much for the park. I did figure the entrance was near those steps you indicated. Great job...

Thanks pkstracy & lush It was peaceful there even with the main st right out front. its almost like the park muffles it with the frontage of the parking area. All the round stone seats at each...

[QUOTE=billoween;1563834]Cigar Dad - what’s up Jimmy? Hey, I have another one of the 100 who served: Charline Gingras-Fick (or sometimes it’s just Charline Fick). She was a mechanic in the Army...
