Robert once smoked cigarettes and stopped in a store about once a day anywhere he happened to be. Most or all of the following statements are just out of the blue, without any explanation and with very little conversation leading up to them.

78/10/- Mrs Simms, at the Pioneer Boat Dock and Restaurant on Nolin Reservoir in Grayson County, tells him about someone local who wears a uniform, whom they believe to be undercover. Robert was passing through here on my way to Sikeston Missouri for combine parts, and stopped for a bite to eat.

78/12/27 = Genevive Huffman at her Bait Hut in Jefferson County said " you ran someone in a ditch . . .there was a big ditch " She was yelling, and this has made no sense in the intervening time. "you never should have talked about Vivian Smith . . . " [local very-butch hog farmer dyke, who Ed Dailey lined up to purchase the $1.00@bu rotten corn which he grew in 1976. See Farm chapter.

79/4/ = the Handy pantry clerk in Bullitt County said "first we heard you went over the hill, then we heard you came back, You never did go over the hill did you . . . ?"

79/ / = A 6 ft 3 in clerk named Williams in Mt. Washington in Bullitt County at a convenience store said in a threatening way " we don't want you to get big". This is likely a relative of Leroy Williams. See Farm chapter.

79/9/ = A clerk at a Gulf convenience store in Elizabethtown in Hardin County said "they turned them every which away, you better run home right away."

80/2/ = A Bardstown (Nelson County) Burger Queen clerk said "it's your sisters everybody keeps hearing from . . . "

80/3/ = Robert Hedges was at University of Louisville. An unnamed DPBChurch member/married grad. student at UnivLou approached him and said . . . " still fagging around ". . . Robert has become aware since this time that the individuals who make accusations such as these tend to be trying to get others to admit to having a deviant sexual orientation. A truly straight person would be hoping that another individual is normal and not homosexual. Accusations do not imply a desire to find normalcy, but imply a wish to find sexual deviance. What does _*fagging around*_ mean and what does _*getting fagged*_ mean ??

80/4/ = Robert Hedges was in a Convenient in Mt. Washington in Bullitt County 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 'bad' 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.] Do married 'bads' get to hide behind their spouses ?

80/ / = A clerk at Foxes Grocery on hwy. 44 at the Spencer Co line and wife of local Taylorsville Policeman. "the listening device 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?

80/6/ = A clerk at Foxes Grocery in Spencer County said . . . "Driscoll put it in ..."he said he put it in for us . . ".etc. [Robert thought bug at the time, but now wonders about some publicity via short wave or newspaper.]

80/6/ = A male clerk at Whayne Supply, (Louisville bulldozer parts house) said . . . " you were all the talk . . . Wohlbold is all the talk now . . " [ see Q situations chapter, and end here. ]

80/6/ = A pretty clerk at Kroger in Bardstown in Nelson County said .." No tenant ever gets to do it to their landlord " It's the Daileys."

80/6/ = A clerk at 62 Auto Parts in Grayson County said. "It was Kenny Cook . .he said you only did it once. . " . . "we have our own sting going . . . .".

80/ / = A clerk at a Convenient store in Middletown in Jefferson County said ..." you're up against a crooked county . . . ".

80/7/ = An older woman clerk in Convenience in Bardstown in Nelson County said . ."you're no account for any of us"

80/ / = A clerk at a Convenient store in Leitchfield in Grayson County said. . "the girl next door made you what you are today . . . ".

80/ / = A clerk [a Thelma Stovall (local politician) look-alike] at a Convenient in Georgetown south of Fayette County...." it was us . . we just wanted to know who knocked us down . . "

80/ / = Robert met an unidentified Jefferson County Policeman at Hikes Point while the officer was driving/patrolling/living off Brown's Lane, and spoke to this stranger from auto to auto for some forgotten reason. He said "you are bad". What does bad mean ? What is the definition? How does a person define this word in court? Robert has a badge number from another incident which will result in an individual to question in court if court ever happens with testimony.

80/ / = A clerk at Down's Market, at Coxes Creek in Nelson County said = " It's called running you into the ground . . . "well, I guess you know who I was helping now . . . I was helping the Daileys . . . we're just alike . ". This crowd in this store was on a grapevine that could tell Robert when he called the Jefferson County Police or visited the FBI, forty miles away in Louisville.

80/6/ = Robert occasionally purchased scrap steel from Seamco steel fabrication. The foreman there said . . . "first we were doing it for the Wetzelbergers . . . then we were doing it for the Kotheimers . . . then we were doing it for the gluesniffers . . . we're not doing it anymore . . . you hear me . . . we're not doing it any more . . . " What were they doing ?

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

80/9/ = A pretty clerk at UnivLou Convenient. "Susan knocked you to A------a, . . . A-------a knocked you down to all her type . . . "

80/11/ = Robert hauled several loads of soybeans to Gold Proof Elevator in Louisville and a worker there said , "your goody two-shoes ". Robert was not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing, and so could not be legitimately 'busted'.

81/2/ = Clerk at Down's Market in Nelson County on separate occasions said. . . "T------i (a guy) has been running you down for ages . . . " " we're going to blame A------a for all of it . . . " "the big men don't like you, . . . we knocked you down to them . . . "

81/ / = Clerk at Fox's Grocery in Spencer Co., " We're helping Petie Day, It's us that no accounted you. We're trying to worth account you again . . . . They're all Catholic in the Federal Building . . . " . . . " We're going to make you fight for everything you already got . . . . you'll never want anything else . . . " .

81/ / = Older woman clerk at CG&Y convenience store in Taylorsville in Spencer County = "your a gay young blade". ..[ Is this intended as innocent humor or an intentional effort to insult?...]

81/5/ = Robert drove to Morgantown , KY in his distinctive 1957 antique show-Corvette, to see a log house built there. He researched log houses to find how best to save his family's heirloom log house. He stopped at the house next door to inquire from a stranger about the log house. I. J. Flener, a woman living next to the log house in Butler Co on the Green River in Morgantown, claimed to have a minister son, said " you've been sucking d#*#* haven't you . . " Only an insane person would say this to a stranger, and Robert was a stranger in this town. What would identify Robert to a stranger this far from home even if this ugly insult (inappropriate gender suggestion) were true. ? Robert went to the Kentucky State Police and complained about this because such an act is a violation of KRS 510., and being accused of a crime is damaging to an innocent individual. If I.J. Flener was questioned she would reveal who was the person doing this damage to Robert, or she would reveal her insanity. Robert got no cooperation from the KSP. A 300 lb Trooper named Adams who hadn't passed a physical in 15 years said " I wouldn't take a complaint like that ."

81/ / = Mrs. Jarrett, clerk at Kroger in Fern Creek said.... "your not to have no money...." This is business interference.

81/ / = A clerk at the Kroger in Bardstown..."It's Louisville " ...[Louisville what?]

81/ / = A clerk at Down's Market..."it's Cootes"

81/11/ = Mr. Martin at Martins' Grocery, Waterford KY in Spencer County on hwy. 44 said angrily "you sure jive easy..." [ Robert had recently joined Mensa, and this exact phrase had been yelled at him by a similar-looking person only 18 hours earlier at a Mensa meeting in Louisville.]

82/2/ = Robert stopped at a brick relict on Bardstown Rd in Nelson County called The Starlings (a famous old house), and inquired about a nearby pile of stone. The owner, Ben Simms Haydon, a homosexual antique dealer, invited Robert out to dinner. He said he had the 'second son syndrome' and later visited the Hedges farm, looked at antiques, and asked Robert " what about Wohlbold...?" This indicates that the name Wohlbold had been passed around among at least the homosexuals. The name Ben Hayden was broadcasted soon after on the TV news, without any attached story. The story of Wohlbold follows this short list of quotes.

82/ / = Robert was looking at log houses in Grayson Co. and stopped at Doc ________'s (DVM). He said..[irrelevant] His nurse said . . " it was us that did it to you . . . " His daughter said " you are bad, you won't look us in the eye. " Robert stopped in a store in Leitchfield later and said to the clerk ' if you ever talk to * that girl * be sure to look her in the eye . . or she'll think you're bad, whatever bad means'.

82/ = A clerk [young woman] in Gulf in Elizabethtown in Hardin County, on Hwy. 62, 1 mile from I-65 said "your gay" and on a later stop for gas said ] " don't ever talk about fisting." . Robert had never even heard a woman say that word before that day. The concept was and is foreign to him

82/ = Robert went (to Leitchfield to get acquainted with locals) and a farmer on Rough River in Grayson County out of the blue said . . . . " first it was the Baptist . . . then it was the Catholics . . . nobody knows who it is now . . . it's always going to be somebody . . . "

82/ = An old lady past Leitchfield on hwy. 62 in Grayson County said "it was us that put you on the radio . . . ".

82/ = Farmer in Leitchfield in Grayson County said . . . " we keep hearing from Sandy . . . ".

82/ = Mrs. Martin at Martin's Grocery in Spencer County said " nothing you said got anywhere . . "

82/ = Robert spoke with a Postman one day who said " it's your sisters, they had to define bad". .

Further anonymous quotes are in the year lists, as these are cross-posted.

Wayne Wohlbold (pronounced whoa beau) - a part of Q situations

Wayne Wohlbold came to work at Standard Oil after Robert was transferred to the remodeling job at Hwy. 22 & 42. Robert had been deprived of his pre-agreed schedule, which had given him weekend nights off. He was frequently still working late on weekend nights, and his dating was limited. One Friday night he invited Paul Demos and Wayne Wohlbold over to his digs at Hikes Point after the shift ended at 11: PM, and Wayne tried to embrace and kiss Robert. Paul seemed to know the Wohlbold was homosexual in advance. Paul Demos was the son of the UnivLou head librarian. Robert had not recognized vague homosexual overtones at work. Robert never said anything about this embarassing incident, either at work or privately. Dan Judy (the manager) was upset the following day. Robert understands how girls feel when someone repulsive tries to kiss them now. Robert was surprised to find Wayne Wohlbold at the University of Louisville instructing in the Geology Dept. when Robert arrived there in 1976. Robert never spoke about that embarrassing incident until he was attacked in class, (see threats) but he finally realized that there were homosexuals teaching, which struck him as most unusual. He much preferred to believe that no homosexuals were around. Robert has a type of denial which is the opposite of the ideas which homosexuals have that others are homosexual, commonly called projection.
