[PRCo] Re: 1965 PAT fantrip

I remember that Joe made the mistake of walking around Alexandria, Virginia, in
his undertakers attire (not a good thing), and was mugged and killed.  I was in
the Tractioneers in DC at the time but he wasn't a member ... never met him.  Of
course most of the locals knew him.  Now, refresh my memory.  When was he
killed?  I want to say about 1969.
