*The series "The Last Days of Matthew Shepard" was written by my late friend, Thomas Heald, as explaned in my preface in red.* ** *It is not part of a play, it is an original work he wrote.*
*Read any one of them, and that will be explained.* *By the way, Shepard was not a drug user, as you seem to believe, but his killers were.* *They chose Shepard in the bar as an easy target to "Jack" (car-jack), beat, torture, and rob because he was small, wealthy looking, and openly gay.* *I suggest you read the series, it is very enlightening.* On 10/13/10, Keith In Tampa <[email protected]> wrote: > > Good Morning Tom, > > Mark and I are the moderators of the Group, Political Forum.
