Right after | heard the story on television | went down there was a tent in the
middle of a parking lot. Down at Publix on Chickasaw and Lake Underhill. And |
met Cindy and there was a couple other people there | met them. And | asked if |
could help and | left my name and my phone number and they said they would
contact me to work at the tent or the table as we called it
And that was like in the first few days of.
I'd say towards the end of July.
End of July?
Two thousand and eight.
Who, who were the primary people responsible for that, that tent at that
time? | think you had said a girl by the name of Holly seemed to play
that role?
Yes um, Cindy was at the, the tent that day. Um, | don't know if Holly was
there that day. But the next... (phone)
I apologize. I'll have to call you back. Okay. Sorry about that.
That's okay. But, but Holly had basically taken it over for George and Cindy.
Um, and | left my name and number like | said. Holly was there | think and
Cindy, | know Cindy was. And Lee's girlfriend, Mallory and | think George's
Sister. And while | was there talking with Cindy George had pulled in and
The only thing I heard him say to Cindy was, “We have to go.” And |
left and they left.
Okay. Now who reached out to you to see if you would come back and
Assist with organizing different ah, locations?
