Ronnie and Kim tried
to see Dr. Fallwell. Ronnie and Kim had lunch alone. Saw Mitch after
lunch. Drove Mitch back to his house. Hung out during the afternoon.
The apartment was very
small. Talked to Judy Stump on phone (can we prove this?). Found out
Church called. Ronnie and Mitch -studying Bible together after going
out to dinner.
Ronnie and Mitch were
discussing OTIS LNU, a black guy at base--who was trying to bust his
church apart.
Ronnie and Mitch
wanted to straighten out Otis.
Discussion of NIV
version of the Bible. New International Version.
It was 9-10:00 p.m.
Ronnie asked Mitch his
opinion of dreams. Ronnie said I'll share something with you as long
as it stays with you. Ronnie said it will be with you "to the
grave."
Mitch said there was
not a lot about dreams in the Bible. God talked to people through
dreams sometimes. Ronnie felt Mitch was knowledgeable about the Bible.
Ronnie told Mitch that
he dreamed that Ted and another guy and Ronnie were carrying on a
conversation and Ted offered $20,000 for somebody to kill Patricia.
Then Ronnie heard a
loud noise (gunshot) and woke up.
Two to three weeks
later Mitch called Ronnie at Chaplain's office at Camp Lejeune and
said he would stop by.
Came by and brought up
quote from scripture - something from Peter - Ronnie reading Peter
in order to locate the passage. Mitch suggested Ronnie should talk
to somebody about dream. Mitch said he had talked to a lawyer and he
was not liable for what Ronnie told him. Mitch was sitting with
Ronnie in Ronnie's truck - drove Mitch around back of chapel.
Mitch brought up a
dream he'd had. Telling Ronnie that one night he woke up upset,
dreaming that a man was abusing a little girl. Mitch said that he
prayed that God would strike this man dead so the little girl would
not be hurt. Later Mitch said that he read in the paper that a man
had died. He thought it might be the man who was abusing the little
girl.
Ronnie says the whole
conversation was off the wall. Very strange. Ronnie became
suspicious of Mitch's intentions.
Mitch also told Ronnie
he had talked to a lawyer and was advised that he wasn't responsible
or liable in anyway. Ronnie's comment was I could have told you that because what we said to each other was private.
