We did see that it got burned, flames the __ [unclear]_ did that. That was really scary. And I don't know if probably anybody died in that but it was something that I remember well, too, this house going up in flames. And I think the- BEC: The Resistance? SOP: Yeah, the Resistance. JEA: Did Uncle Pete, not Pete VanSchelt, but the other Uncle Pete, was he associated with the Resistance or did he just know people in the Resistance? SOP: No, not really. 31 |
