  LYNETTE FROMME FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
As a child, Fromme was a performer for a popular local dance group called Westchester Lariats, which performed on the Lawrence_Welk_Show and at the White_House.
However, Fromme's home life was troubled, as her father was known to be both rough and cold, and this extended to his treatment of his daughter.
Fromme drifted through a life of destitution and petty crime until the morning of September 5, 1975, when she went to Sacramento's Capitol Park to plead with President Gerald_Ford to do something about the man-made destruction of the earth—armed with an unloaded.45 Colt automatic, which she pointed at Ford.

And we all knew she was lying, mainly because she wore an off-the-shoulder blouse on picture day, which I thought was highly inappropriate, and also because she didn't have any free tickets.

Hopefully Squeaky's not reading the date by the European method which would lead her to think that she were going to be released on May 9, 2005.
