Bonnie and Clyde

[Gary W. Graley]

Down here in good ole' Ruston LA for a week and decided to take a spin
out to where the famous duo met their end, found there is a museum
as well, stopped in but didn't have time to tour the back room, also
$7 per adult to view but a friend says it's worth the time and money
so I might try to get back there before the weeks end, but, you are
not allowed to photograph inside of it
Outside the museum;



figuring they'd frown on camera's inside, I grabbed a shot before entering



that shows the pre-room, nic-nacs and such, the museum is further back
here's a shot of the curator, L.J. "Boots" Hinton, he is a character and really knows his stuff
in regards to Bonnie and Clyde history, as you'd expect he would.
He also directed us out to the site along highway 154, a memorial is there
but badly damaged from people wanting to get a piece of the stone





The date is May 23, 1934







and looking back down the road to town, you can see you're out a ways
in the boonies here, a good place for an ambush

Interesting post. I was always a fan of Bonnie.
