Coretta Scott King

I remember back in 1974, reading about Mrs. King, then when I heard about many political issues, some still very important, the ministers against the B-1 and B-2 bombers (which prophetically since have been "seen" by Australian radar, $11 billion plane seen by $1.5 million radar see "Happy Australia Day" here), friends in Buffalo, NY who knew people at the shootings at Kent State University, the only "white" at the birthday commemoration of saxophonist John Coltrane, whose house in Huntington, NY has recently been saved, the continuing work of the "Southern Poverty Law Center," by Morris Dees, to teach tolerance, the Carter Center, (former President Jimmy Carter was on CNN's "Larry King Show" Sunday night, I got a kick out of the holiday card the Carter's send), and the various run-in's the King family has had with my former employer (though always in the background of many other jobs) the U.S. National Parks Service, over the Martin Luther King, Jr., memorial site, the law transcripts I've read investigating the other scenario of her husband's assassination, in all this Moratorium observing, Vietnam hospital bombing protest on Madison Ave., etc., I came across an interesting fact about Mrs. King. After her husband was murdered, she was hidden away in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire for her protection where Dr. King had friends. More recently Robert "Bob" and Libby Dole bought a judge's place out near the small airport there on Lake Winnepeasauki. The former Vice President Dan Quayle, was seen in a local lunch bistro during an election campaign a few years back. There is a museum there, the "Wright Museum" about WWII, created in part by the museologist of the "Holocaust Museum" in Washington, D.C., who might be the same person selected by the Mayor of NYC to create the "Ground Zero" museum, which as a name I would, and will object to, though, WordWeb has, "The site of the World Trade Center before it was destroyed".
