Hinckley Jr., whose assassina tion attempt on President Ronald Reagan made him the best known of the 350 class members. In preparation for the 10- year reunion, class member Kirk Dooley sent a questionnaire to all 1973 graduates, including Hinckley, asking for comments and information. On March 30, 1981, Hinckley pushed his way through the crowd and shot and wounded Reagan, press secretary James Brady and two law enforcement officers with a .22 pistol in front of a Washington hotel. Hinckley, 28, was acquitted by reason of insanity June 21, 1982. From behind the walls of St. Elizabeth’s, a hospital for the mentally ill in Washington, D.C., Hinckley sent a short note and a request for a reunion book. “I just want to say that I have fond memories of Highland and wish I could be at the reunion,” he wrote. “I often think about my old high school classmates and wonder how they’re doing. As for me. I’m doing well and looking forward to the day I can see some of my old friends again. Please send a a yearbook.” Hinckley’s remarks were pub lished in the booklet distributed to all members. Reached in Denver, Hinc kley’s father, head of Vanderbilt Energy Co., said of his son, “We think he is making progress. We hope he is.” He added “It’s a long way from Highland Park High.” Defense psychiatrists said Hinckley’s arrest ended months of wandering coast-to-coast in a weird obsession with actress Jodie Foster, who played a teen age prostitute in the movie “Taxi Driver,” which portrayed an attempted assassination of a political candidate.

Boy tells about bloodbath |P‘ United Press International CHINO, Calif.— A detective said Tuesday that Joshua Ryen, 8, has indicated to police that more than one person slaught ered his parents, sister and a playmate during a bloody weekend rampage on the fami ly’s horse ranch. Capt. Philip Schuyler of the San Bernardino County Sher iffs Department said the num ber and type of wounds on the victims also showed more than one person participated in the slaughter. “That’s our gut feeling,” he said. “What he got from the boy would seem to confirm that.” But the heavily sedated boy has given detectives conflicting information, Schuyler added, and investigators were waiting to question him further when he was more lucid. Sheriff Floyd Tidwell said Monday that the boy, who had not been told of his family’s murder, survived because the killers “probably thought he was dead.” The youngster was rendered temporarily silent when surgeons opened his windpipe — a tracheotomy — to help him breathe. He used notes and sign language to communicate with police Monday. Tidwell said doctors would have to implant an electronic voice box in the youngster’s slashed throat for hiih to speak, but Schuyler said Tuesday the instrument might not be neces sary because the boy is able to nod his head and write. The coroner disclosed late Monday that the killers thrust sharpened weapons — a hatchet and possibly a knife, screwdriver United F or ice pick — more than into each victim. A force of 35 offit died for six potential si the slayings, Tidwt adding that leads kc weak" and no motive I established.
