re: 50th Anniversary of the UT-Austin Clock Tower shooting (8/1/66)

This is actually pretty weird. I just started reading a book last night about a border patrol agent and his time along the border. He was talking about when he was a kid his best friend's sister was engaged to a Marine. This Marine, Charlie, was someone they looked up to and he even taught him and his best friend how to shoot. Then, one summer day, his dad came and told him that his buddy "Charlie" Whitman had gone to a clock tower and shot a bunch of people after he killed this guy's best friend's sister and her mom.
