Alice's Thanksgiving Massacree & the Group W Bench

A Thanksgiving Tradition for me, and my 6 children.

The story he tells is essentially accurate - as recorded in the local newspaper*.
Arlo and Officer Obey (William J. Obanhein) later became fast friends.
Arlo (Woody Guthrie's son) purchased the deconsecrated church and it is now a community center.

* 1965 incident...
