Only Derby Attended

While a dentist at the Chillicothe, Ohio, Federal Reformatory, we had the opportunity to see a Kentucky Derby, about a 3 hour drive away. One of the inmates was just being transferred to Ky, would be employed at the Lexington Holiday Inn and could find a room for Jet and me.

So we drove down to see the Ky Derby but there wasn't a room to be had. Our inmate friend insisted we stay with him at his half way house. And we did.

Jet wanted to know why this fellow was in prison.

I told her that he was known as the "Lexington Strangler" while in the joint.

She didn't sleep a wink that night.
