Well, Seminole, Texas is/was a small town where, even if you didn't know
what you were doing, someone else did.  I first knew Gene Pate when he
was involved with the Boy Scouts there.  Maybe he had it in for me in
that I was dishonorably discharged from the scouts.  Heheheheh  I wasn't
doing my duty to God and my country, and I didn't obey the scout laws.

What happened was, our troop was camping for the weekend at Camp Tonkawa
and the girl scouts were across the small lake at Buffalo Gap, Texas.  I
got caught twice swimming over to their side.
