“I was a lieutenant colonel and have a Purple Heart. I grew up in Kentucky and was first cousin to Doolittle Lynn, Loretta’s husband. I worked in the coal mines in Kentucky. I like being in the woods. I was born in the woods of Appalachia. We are Irish and we like being alone, it’s just the way we are. I lived in Alaska for ten years. I bought this bike in France a long time ago. I rode it from California to Alabama. I don’t want my picture taken because I don’t want anyone coming out here to disturb us. I am 70 years old and don’t want to have to hurt someone. You can take a picture of my bike.”
