I am certain of the name of only one of the "alleged" so-called "Roadway gang." Even though many at HAC at the time pegged me as the ring-leader, I knew of only one of the group who perpetrated the heinous act. So, knowing the names may be difficult. For all the love I have for my friend VM, I've read everything that he has written here as well as on the old forum, and as much as I would like to avoid disappointing anyone, most of what he writes is inaccurate -- and I do mean "most."
The reality is as I mentioned in another thread. There is no Roadway "gang." There was an incident that occurred near the Roadway Trucking facility. That is it.
There were no "gangsters" or "Nazis" as such. Making a long story short, here, I had read William Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and shared the story with my friend DC, who was over all of the Route 70 buses. That fall, the Route 70 buses averaged well over 1000 per Sunday, and my particular bus pulled into the lot each Sunday of the fall campaign as "top" bus. JV labeled us the "World's Largest Bus Route." JC, whose picture appears beside DH and JH in that flyer for the meeting in Anchorage Alaska, then spread the word via his preaching meetings that DC and [yours truly] had read the "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," and used that as motivation to go out and big the "World's Largest Bus Route." I guess that made us "Nazis."
JC, on the other hand told me that he had read a book about Al Capone and his gang, and he (JC) admired his tactics and such -- so I guess that made JC and his crowd "gangsters."
I had seen the picture of Dr. Hyles standing in front of the old church building while it burned, wearing his hat and overcoat. I went out and bought the same, and pretty soon lots of preacher boys emulated that, and we all looked like "gangsters" and thugs, and such.
That's the only thing I can figure.
What Vince is not so honest?
Say it isn't so
Another trait of his hero
