Okay--so I know it has been a while since I have had anything to say, and I do apologize. Life has been a little hectic.
Most who know me, know that I am a conspiracy nut--I love a good tale of government corruption. Not that I believe every theory laid out about JFK, RFK, Roswell, etc., but I am extremely fascinated by those events, as well as many others of historical significance.
Don Denton, a former covert government assassin, will be back at our store on October 25th. If you haven't met Don, it is easy to be skeptical about his stories and alleged experiences. But meet and talk to him, and it becomes much harder to write him off. He comes off as sincere and knowledgable, and if nothing else, is interesting as hell to talk to. To me, his stories, while maybe not written as clear and concise as he would have liked, are just too detailed to ignore. I investigated some of the "incidents" he discusses, and places, dates, etc. seem to match up. While that is not definitive "proof," it is nonetheless compelling. Read Don's books, and talk to the man, and you will see that while some of the claims are fantastical, he just doesn't come off as someone who is making everything up. I will say this--if he is fabricating, his attention to detail in his story telling is remarkable!
Now--In that same bane, I have always been fascinated by Mob history. And of course, on October 29th, THE Henry Hill will be here. You may know the name - Ray Liotta played him in the Martin Scorcese's movie "Goodfella's". This should be fascinating. I have never (knowingly) spent time talking to someone who was actually in the mob. Having the opportunity to meet someone who actually lived that life, was associated with numerous famous underworld figures, will be really cool.
Be well!
