    Chapter 163

    Public figures are always a target. In the twisted mind of the killer, there is notoriety and they think by people knowing them and what they did will allow them to go down in history or something. Maybe. Jessie James syndrome

    Chapter 164

    It was nine in the morning when a doctor came and told us that the Ambassador was awake and could go and see him. By the time I got to the room, Richard was on one side, and his sister was on the other side. I stood at the end of the bed. He looked at me, "I know." I nodded. Richard was hugging his dad and crying, and his sister was doing the same. A nurse came in. I asked if he could have coffee. She said yes. I left and returned with two cups of coffee. We always had our best talks o

    I'm not sure if there is answer or if we will ever find one. It seems death by someone else's hand is a very old occurrence. Greed and jealously probably plays an important part as well as religious zeal and hypocrisy. A desire for notoriety and low self-esteem also plays a role.

    I am sure we will find out more when the Ambassador is to of the hospital. They did catch the shooter and maybe that will give the police some insight

    In the political arena there are always those who disagree and fanactics who react with violence.

    Maybe when Richard (the Ambassador) leaves the hospital we will find out more.

    At the first full dinner of the Knights of the Round Table, we had the Knights pick their Squires. Then we had the reading of the Oath. We handed out the squire pins and discussed the rules of the Pub. Some of the Knights asked if we could have more choices of snacks in the pub. One of them suggested we move the coin machines to the pub. I thought that would detract from the theme of the pub, they agreed. Maybe we could offer hot chocolate in a replicated mug of 1600. They thought that would be

    If statistics are correct then you are probably right. I don't think any connected with royalty would find partners of the same sex. The pressure would be to great, now there is the possibility of a little hanky pinky

    I enrolled Franz in the Academy, and I spent extra time with him, bringing him up to speed. I found once I pointed him in a direction, he took off running. The problem was there were a lot of directions. Marie and I provided tutoring. He was a bright lad who didn’t have the schooling to compete with the other 12-year-old students. From a schooling perspective, I would place him at the level of a 10-year-old. But I knew from Morgan’s experience, he would catch up. The advantage of my school, smal

    Love given is love receive. I either heard that or read it somewhere. In Adam and Marie's family it is practiced

    I wonder how many young people started out with an excellent voice only to be misdirected bye a greedy promoter.

    Yes, and the children have accepted him as a brother.

    Children seem to sense things that adults don't. Adam and Marie sensed Franz's loss and befriended him.

    Chapter 160

    Adam and Marie will do everything they can to replace the loss Franz felt when his mother passed. But they can not replace her in his heart even as he develops a love for them as part of their family. The heart has many chambers, one will be occupied by his mother.

    Yes, Adam will miss it. I think Dad will come to him when it is critical and especially when Gerry is in danger.

    Yes, and we shall see where it leads

    No, I wonder how many children are named after someone who was important to their parents. I was told it was an honor to name your child after someone important to you.

    Yes, Franz will never forget his mother but Adam and Marie will try and fill his vacancy.

    Chapter 160

    Yes, you are the first. As Gerry assumes more of his responsibility, Dad will guide Adam less and Gerry more. As it should be.

    We had one month of working out before we had to return for school. Hans would then take over the training. Franz would stay with Marie and me as our son. We stayed at the cabin for that month which meant runs around the lake. We weren’t alone. Some of the staff from the school were there, which let us catch up a little and do some planning for the school year. A lot of fishing was done, as well as running. Billy borrowed Dad’s car and went home to bring Susanna and Buster up to the cabin.

    Yes, in real life you are probably right. I have read that chemical castration has been used in the US. I have a personal belief about the clergy. Molestation of any kind by any one in a position that would pressure a child to participate, should be severely punished.

    At least less balls.
