"Buck Hill Falls has been an intimate part of our family since 1913. Mom first came in 1916 with her family. 1941 was my first year.

The fear of the POW prison camps still lurks in Louie’s mind and every prisoner returning home. To sooth their war-torn minds and souls many veterans turned to alcohol for comfort;in fact, Louie was one of those who turned to alcohol to ease his mind. Drinking made Louie violent and full of rage and if life is going to get any better something had to change. Louie’s determination like a presidential race pushed him to overcome insurmountable obstacles and refused to admit defeat. One night Louie attended a sermon and something clicked in Louie reminding him of a promise he made to God:”If you will save me, I will serve you forever”(382). That night when Louie arrived home,”He carried the bottles to the kitchen sink, opened them, and poured their contents into the drain”(383), this was the beginning of the new and improved Louie. Later Louie created a camp to help young boys who’ve gone through the same experiences as him, such as getting into fist fights or creating trouble with the law. When Louie wasn’t with boys at camp he gave speeches of his experiences. As years passed Louie was still climbing, running, and taking on new activities like skateboarding: “‘When I get old,’ he said as he tossed a football on the Kwajalein beach,”’I’ll let you know’”(392).

The Zodiac Killer was a murderer who terrorized Northern California in the late 1960's and 1970's. Nobody was ever safe, he would just kill people at random. He never left his name. He left more than 20 letters the whole time he was killing people and terrorizing the city.

Holocaust survivors after the war, were not completely done with the suffering. Most lost their homes, belongings, and family to the germans. So when they were released from the camps exhausted and confused, what did they do? Well, most of them moved away or tried to return to their homes.
