Main) and Culpepper Plaza comment that be would recover from his ordeal as soon as he returned to “drinking beer and chasing women. ” However, he also said he would be relieved when the publicity sub sided and he could live a more nor mal life. But that day may be a few months off. New Orleans spokesmen Sunday said McKeel will reign as Baccus XIII, the god of wine and revelry, at this year’s Mardi Gras parade. The selection of McKeel is a de parture for the Bacchus organization in selecting its king, who normally is chosen from the entertainment world. Unfortunately, all the attention he got kept McKeel from realizing his main goal. “I haven’t had time to chase women,” he confessed at a Balch Springs news conference prior to his mammoth homecoming parade Saturday. However, several young women chased him as he rode in Saturday’s parade. Ignoring police warnings to stay clear of the convertible, they rushed the car and planted kisses on the former hostage. Dressed in blue jeans and a Texas Rangers baseball cap before the pa rade, the slight, soft-spoken marine discussed his ordeal. “At one point I was interrogated for 12 hours,” McKeel said. “I was put in solitary confinement, told my mother had died, threatened with execution, and at one point I was made to take off all my clothes with a rifle pointed at my head.” McKeel kicked off his homecom ing celebration by climbing a ladder at his parents’ house and removing an American flag so tattered no stars remained. Wearing clusters of yellow ribbons in their hair, Balch Springs house wives watching the press conference applauded as he finally removed the flag which had been fastened to the roof by his father for more than 14 months. SUTTMAN Photo by T. Camt McKeel said he was somewhat embarrassed by the amount of atten tion the hostages have received since returning to the United States. “I never was the hero type,” he said. “I went to downtown Dallas the other day in civilian clothes and walked into a building and before I could get to the elevator, I was mobbed.” Joe and Martha Dixon contemplate a sculpture by Paul Suttman.
