Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 264<br />

trouble containing that degree of anger if I was sober. In my condition, there wasn‟t a<br />

prayer.<br />

Whatever he said, I know all my responses were very loud. Slurred goes without<br />

saying, and I doubt I‟ll see a show of hands among you wondering if I was at all vulgar.<br />

<strong>At</strong> that moment, I hated that son-of-a-bitch so bad, it made whatever I felt for that David<br />

More than likely he said something. Much more than likely, I replied to him with<br />

a very violent threat. Next thing you know, there‟s “Fast Fred” standing in the bedroom<br />
