One Scrap of Paper from Oak Creek Hospital Rewrote Thirty-Four Years of What My Family Remembered
Howard pulled two rusty paper clips off the corner of a yellowed document and slid it across the dark wood to me.
“That’s a canceled cashier’s check drawn on Miller Hardware, dated November 4, 1990,” Howard said.
His gravelly drawl was slow and deliberate.
“Four hundred dollars, made out directly to a deputy county clerk named Raymond Vance.”
I picked up the brittle paper.
The ink on the bottom line was dark blue, leaning to the right, with sharp loops on the capitals.
“That’s Gene’s signature,” I said.
