107 the one everybody suspects might have been Barnett; I don't remember him goin' up that gulley with us. [The soldiers] were really hateful . . . they were hateful to everybody there. When we got back up there to the car, this black sergeant came up there, too. And Dr. Buskirk told him, "We gotta go the other way, that's where we came from. We gotta go and get our stuff. We can't go out this way." And so they took them back down the gulley, and the soldiers made us go back up this way, and then all of a sudden, here's Buskirk and his five students again.

Just as soon as they got us out of there, everything just started getting fren- zied back there. When we got up [to the main road], they already had the fence down and they were bringing stuff through, and I remember there was a Jeep that was pulling a trailer with a motor on it, like a generator. When we got on the road, it was Ted that said, "Can we go back over to the store and get somethin’ to drink?" "No! THE MILITARY TAKES OVER
