Hinkley unable to attend high Bill
school reunion, sends message je,
United Press Internationa]
DALLAS — The weekend
reunion of the 1973 graduating
class of Highland Park High
School was haunted by the mem
ory and message of John W.
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

EL PASO — The commander
of Fort Bliss says the Army
should suspend the use of an
anti-tank weapon that exploded
during a training exercise, injur
ing 26 soldiers, one of whom was
in critical condition Tuesday
with “total body wounds.”
Six of the other injured men
were in serious condition.
Officials at Fort Bliss said the
shoulder-firing LAW (Light
Anti-tank Weapon) exploded
Monday, spewing fragments
and flames into a class of
trainees.
A spokesman at William
Beaumont Army Medical Cen
ter said 17 men required hospi
talization.
The spokesman said exten
sive surgery was needed to save
the life of a training sergeant,
identified as Antonio Gonzales,
whose hometown was not re
leased. But he said surgeons
were confident Gonzales would
survive.
“He (Gonzales) has been in

injuries are now life-
threatening,” spokesman Jim
Bryan said late Monday. “He
had total body wounds.”
Of the other 16 soldiers hos
pitalized with “glass-type”
wounds and some burns, six
were listed in serious condition
and 11 were reported in satisfac
tory condition, hospital officials
said. Nine soldiers were treated
and released.
Those injured included 24
basic trainees, one West Point
cadet and Gonzales, all from the
Fort Bliss 1st Air Defense Artil
lery Training Brigade.
Fort Bliss commander Maj.
Gen. James Maloney suspended
all training on the LAW pending
an investigation of the accident’s
cause.
