My home is in southern Argentina and I work in Education. My interests are wide, and include travel, writing and history along with a whole bunch of other stuff, some fairly off-beat. You can contact me at jempud at hotmail (that's dotcom).

This was a good read - well written, and moving without being schmaltzy. And how do we know if our memories are really ours, or just the cumulative effect of remembering ourselves or others talking about things?
Although your father's age I never met him, but he comes across (in the same video clips you've seen) as an immensely likable guy. I'm sorry for him (and your family) that he was embroiled in such unsavory events. I'm pleased that he pulled away in the end.
Crockett is another guy I would have liked to meet - sufficiently focussed to work things out for himself, without being sucked into the maelstrom of all things Manson.
Anyway, you don't know me (I'm from Patagonia - not unlike Death Valley in some ways), but I just wanted to say that i liked this post. And I had a few minutes time on my hands - an unusual occurrence! My apologies if my comments are inappropriate.
