The TBFF were on a national tour with a replica of The Liberty Bell on a flatbed truck to schools all over the country showing the Bell and asking for milk money so they could launch helium balloons filled with propaganda leaflets over The Iron Curtain. Even at age 11, this sounded good to writerfella and he donated a quarter. When writerfella was confronted by such a fact, he simply said, "Who knew?" Then he said, "I certainly hope none of you holds it against me that my family once supported the armed overthrow of the US Government!" NO ONE LAUGHED OR SMILED, and writerfella was under investigation all the more. Strange, at the time they more were interested in writerfella's history and politics but NOT his homosexuality! KI-YIKE! Would someone kindly please explain that to writerfella?<BR/>All Best<BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111681906238053379noreply@blogger.com
