80/2/ = an anonymous voice on the phone (possibly R. M. Cootes, sometimes the local Spencer County Attorney) = "you weren't going down he drain...everybody had to shove you . . . "

80/2/ = Jim Bennett said "I'm not afraid of sodding around . . ".He is local farmer/engineer, son-in-law of Cecil Day on the next farm, and buyer of several acres of the Hedges Farm at auction. I shall not �surmise to suggest what he intended by this statement.

80/2/ = Jerry Bricko said "it was us that gave it to you . . . we got her to give you some more of it.."
Gave me some of what ? I was thinking of some drug at that point. [later] Rnow everyone thinks IUm a fagS �� Robert thought he meant by association with him, but he could have meant by his own acts or words, which Robert cannot be familiar with. He circulated around the neighborhood and introduced himself to all as a friend of the Hedges rather than a firewood gatherer.

80/2/ = Marci Cook said ..." if she had only kept her mouth shut . . . we had everything going our way . . . "well . . you did drugs" (Expressly saying that they have intentions of harm toward me, is evidence that she does not like me, regardless of lying eyes and past activities)

80/2/ = At the yearly Fairgrounds Tractor show, Bernard Lilly said " you'll never get anything on us . . . you might as well forget it . . . "

80/2/- Bardstown Burger Queen clerk, "it's your sisters everybody keeps hearing from..."

80/3/ = Robert Hedges was in a Convenient in Mt. Washington in 1980, and was told by a less than desirable smiling older woman ' it's us . . . us that married to the bad ones . . . " [ does this mean that the women who know that their menfolk are TbadU get to conspire to effect the live of others who may not afflicted, possibly for their own financial gain. Human nature is such that most actions are for gain.]

80/4/ = J.T.Johnson said." everybody is blaming us . . . I'm bad . . . " [ day of the field fire in early 1980, with Fire Dept. nearby....

80/4/ = Leon Bentley said. . . " it was Cootes . . . we had to catch you �� practicing . . . its a big talk, its a big talk, before this is over we're gonna know everythin' you ever done. R . . ."[ these men caused the premature demise of Robert's parents, Houston G. Hedges and Catherine R. G. Hedges, and have purchased property from the estate. The stress which they were subjected to is a direct cause of the medical difficulties which killed each. Robert tried to prevent or reduce their stress at all times. Others did not have that goal in mind.

80/4/ = Unidentified Jefferson County Policeman at Hikes Point while driving/patrolling/living off Brown's Lane. Robert spoke to this stranger from auto to auto for some forgotten reason. He said "you're bad".

80/4/ = Prof. Susan Matarese said = "It was us, we can't undo it . . . the subject is Sodomy & homosexuality . . . we're going to do it to you . . . " [18usca245 violated here] This occurred in Am Political Thought class, and Robert replied with " we'll fire him . . get him out of here . . .you canUt have someone here lusting after what ever he lusting after" .

80/4/ = Woman working in the Federal Bldg. " we liked Pritchett.." [Welby Pritchett, s/o a civil servant in the Veterans Affairs Dept. in the Federal Building, is a former brother-in-law of Kentucky State Trooper Mike Pratt, who is class of 1968 from Fern Creek High and assigned to Taylorsville.]

�� 80/4/ = Michelle Johnson " they used a hypodermic needle" . . . . [later] " it's in your lungs . . . ".

80/5/ = Curt at DPBChurch. "we did it to her so she couldn't say you're good..." [that girl far away] Who was the girl far away.

80/5/ = J.T. Johnson " we didn't want to ask the girls....". [ this statement seems to imply that privacy is not allowed in this community.

80/5?/ = Clerk at Foxes Grocery on Hwy. 44 at the Spencer Co line and wife of local Taylorsville Policeman. "the bug is just where you think it is..." Is this an admission of a known 18usca2511 violation or is this an effort to use a play on words against Robert.

80/5/ = Doug Yates said. . ."it's your father, he's trying to fag you . . . when someone begins to act like that it's time to leave . . " This is not considered reliable by Robert because Houston does not know these people. Who knows whom one is hearing from in this situation. How simple to cause a confrontation or wreck a business.? Doug is a Corvette mechanic in Elizabeth town KY, with his own shop. Robert sold him a 1957 Corvette disassembled, in 1974. and had been acquainted with him for a number of years.

80/5/ = Catherine Hedges said, " Rev Sharp called Nancy, Nancy called Ella, Ella called me R and you've been running around threatening to kill someone from church . . . " you need to see a psychiatrist . . " �

[ local farmer and Jefferson County Police Department Heliocopter�� Pilot - what does Tdid it to' mean ?

80/6/ = Veterans Administration Application for $33,000.....no loan, long term credit needed......

80/ / = Steve Cook came to the farm and then said " you are a no account". Imagine, they have even convinced his nephew of some falsehood. It is not healthy to have emotional ties with those you cannot depend upon.

80/ / = Billy Winburne, "the girls listened to Marci . . . the guys listened to Doug [Fleckler]. . . ".

80/6/ = Morris Bush, Fern Creek businessman . . . "it was us that worth accounted ourselves . . . we're doing it for the Cooks " .

80/6/ = Clerk at Foxes Grocery, . . . "Driscoll put it in . . "he said he put it in for us . . . but it looks like he put it in for them . ." [Robert thought at the time, put what in . . the bug?, but now wonders about some publicity via short wave or newspaper.]

80/6/ = Ella CHD said ="It's vice, it's the vice squad . . . ". Sure, just like it was auto theft. A person who commits no crime cannot be frightened by these methods. The innocent cannot be threatened by such vague and stupid allegations.

80/7/ = Robert occasionally purchased scrap steel from Seamco steel fabrication. The foreman there said . . .

" What were they doing ?

80/8/22 = Dr. Petty gave Robert a check-up. John came along later and said " He says you are bad" Robert later challenged him to define "bad" and reminded him that it is a violation of the statutes to make �negative statements about a patient. The real problem is that �third-hand witnesses are not going to confess, testify or even �prove the source of a rumor.

80/8/ = O.J.Huffman, from Huffman's Bait Hut & Shell. " it's us right here . . . we kept talking about them bad friends of yours . . . we tried to get you fired . . . "[ these folks once told me they grew up poor and hating those who were believed to be wealthy. ]

80/ / = Leon Bentley said "We can break any will. " This seems like a threat, and in-fact seems like meddling by a business compeditor. �

80/8/ = Curtis Bentley said "We'er gonna sue you . . "......Absent facts or witnesses, this is a hollow threat.

80/8/ = Les Bailey, chief local Land Bank Loan Officer......".You got a lot of aces don't you." This refers to a conversation with Petie Day when the discussion leaned toward a card game motif, with aces being the high cards. Robert was trying again to apply for long term credit, which his business needed.

80/8/ = Ben McAdams said " They got photographs . . must have used infra-red film . . . " Ben McAdams was the PCA Loan Officer, �and lived in Bullitt Co. John was present for this conversation.

80/10/ = Robert was sleeping one night in the upper north bedroom at the farm. He awoke suddenly and saw a blue tinkerbell flash around his room. He arose and looked outside for Dalrymple and a blue-tipped flashlight. He did not realize until later that this is a clinical symptom of LSD. There was no television or radio to listen to at the time. This was the only experience in his life similar to that.

80/12/ = Robert had been keeping records of what people said to him on tape. He misplaced the originals, and made a second set. He delivered these 6 hours of tapes to the FBI, on 23 Dec. 1980.

The original tapes turned up later, and this volume is based upon their content, which was recorded as events happened, at least part of the time.

80/12/ = The dozer was disassembled and the sheet metal sandblasted, painted, and rewelded at the end of the year.

80/-7?/ = M___i arrives at the farm unannouncer, tries to get Robert to kiss her and grabs/gropes his crotch, either to inspect for or cause arousal. - *warning* Any further threats to try to use her twenty-six YEARS later as extortion to get Robert to "drop" civil litigation will be countered with the criminal complaint of attempted extortion. It is a crime to threaten criminal action to stop differing civil tort action. (exact date uncertain, but certainly after moving there, and after her marriage.) =================================================
