Carl

Right after the war ended, Carl came up to Herlong to visit Richard for the day. They took the greyhound bus into Reno. Richard doesn't remember anything about what they did. What he remembers is that later, when he met Carl again as adult, Carl chortled about how he had given Richard a "swat on the butt." He did tell Richard that he had a new wife. When Richard duly repeated this to Lillian she responded, "He'd better not or he's a bigamist." It must have been during this visit that Carl and Lillian negotiated their legal divorce. Carl was mandated to pay ten dollars a month in child support which he ever did.
