I remember Willis Reed walking onto the floor of Madison Square Garden for the 7th game of the NBA finals against the LA Lakers. It was utterly electrifying, as he had injured his leg in an earlier game and not expected to play.
I can remember it like it happened yesterday, but I saw the documentary on the Knicks championship teams yesterday and was surprised to learn that this occurred in the 1970 finals. I could have sworn that I saw the game while sitting in my dorm room at Hofstra, watching with my friend Mike.
But I didn't start Hofstra for two years, in 1971! I must have inverted my memory of the 1973 Knicks championship against the Lakers, even though I was gone from the dorms by September 1972!
Whew.
This MUST mean that Jo Weber has extraordinary abilities. Perhaps when your husband confesses to stealing an airplane and threatening to kill forty people, those little ole memory neurons shape-up pretty quick, and stay that way for year! We may be witnessing medical history play out right in front of us, and you mock, Jo?
Perhaps that is why she talks about herself in the third-person, like we do.
Or she is presenting a fascinating 17-year long history of a false memory phenomenon. That too, is extraordinary. She even had to sneak around her then-husband, Jim, to research Duane. Whew. Powerful forces are at work here.
Look at Cossey. I believe that he firmly believed that he owned the parachutes that DB Cooper used, and hung up on me when i started questioning him on the conflict with Norm Hayden. A mental overload,if you will. Universes in conflict.
And how about the 900 people who confessed? Is this madness, or something else?
The bigger question in the KC bomb development is why does this 50-yer old woman want to tell a story about her uncle in a barn with a bomb? With MArla, we know she is addicted to the limelight, but this story from a 12-year old kid forty years later may be something else.
Sadly, it seems that Bobby will be unable to help us on this angle, so we will have to do it ourselves.
