Dueling Neighbors

MAY 1973

Setup:
1. Mrs. G is a faithful member at the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church with farming property next to her house outside Peteluma.
2. Christian hippies live in a house (a commune) behind her property.
3. The Jesus' hippies home has a right of way travelling smack dab through the middle of the farm land of Mrs. G - it is a driveway to their house.
4. Mrs G hates hippies.

Like I mentioned in another blog, I attended both of these places, so I heard the inside information from both sides. The hippies knew that Mrs. G didn't like them and brought it up a time or two. Even still they did not speak bad about her. They talked about her like she was a quaint harmless lady who had issues with them.

Meanwhile, in town at the CMA church, I heard Mrs. G telling her friends that God had been convicting her about shooting her shotgun at the hippies. I didn't ask.
