  • Hi RandyD...yes, it was my friend Bobby and it was the weekend coming up after Martin Luther King was assassinated, Thursday April 4, 1968.

    I don't recall exactly why Bobby got in jail, but he seemed often to get in some kind of trouble or 'nother...he was a Black Panther...not a member, exactly, but a sympathizer and he was always talking back to police.

    Actually, I think it was several of us got together and cobbled up the bail money. Bobby was kinda excitable, a free spirit, and we KNEW he would not handle three-four days in jail very well, and things were about to close down mourning Dr. King.

    * * *
    That is all I remember, the relief that we got Bobby out in time.

  • No...although that was his time, and I was in SF...
    Are you old, RandyD? I am not sure a lot of people even recognize that name now...

    No no no! I'm not going to bail you out. You could have complied to the restraining order. Ugh!

    Ok, ok!

    At least pay half of it. Lucia or Livvie will pay the rest.

    You're probably right: Lucia and Livvie will only pay 5% each, so you'd better pay 90% of it. Gee, you're really smart!

    Restraining order? Hello! Follow it and you won't get in such troubles. Mhmm.

    You know you've regretted that since the day the judge signed it.  Have it revoked already and let's just live our lives!

    Grilly is perfectly fine, I tell you that again and again. Besides, she even regretted filing for divorce after a while. Missing her Randy Candy really distressed her.

    Don't worry Randy.  I'll bail you out of jail so I can transport you to my own country.


    I'll put you up in my country's most expensive hotel!  You'll love it!  I promise!

  • I've never bailed anyone out of jail and was only asked one time in my life. I knew he would split as soon as he got out anyway.
