Looking back at it again, as a 12- or 13-year-old,
my father went to work one day
and then came home, and there was a problem.
And that's basically how it happened.
He was a Army Reservist, and when they closed up his unit,
he ran Fort Greene, in Narragansett,
when they closed up his unit and said, "It's time to retire,"
everything came unwound.
I remember the day.
It was a summer day,
and it was close to my brother's graduation,
and sort of all hell broke loose.
And I had not a clue what was going on, and it took
years before there was even a name attached
to what was going on.
And that's how it happened, just...
As far as I can remember, literally, just leaving for work
and coming home a different person, simple as that.
