Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

And George says what happened is reporters back in Detroit just sort of descended on Oliver's parents.

To get more of the story.

And so they kept knocking on my grandmother's door.

And she, I guess, apparently told them to go away.

I guess neighbors were harassing her.

She thought the media was harassing her.

My grandmother just said, I don't want to deal with it.

And so don't come knock on the door.

Leave us alone.

They just wanted it to go away.

It won't go back to their, you know, private lives.

Now, one of the things that I found actually after talking to George were these interviews done with Oliver's family after the news broke that Oliver was gay.

And there's just—hold, I just want to read you this one particular passage here.

Have you talked to any other members—this is from George F. Sipple, who is Oliver Sipple's brother.

Have you talked to any other members of your family since September 1975 about Oliver?

I mentioned it once to my father.

Question, and what was his response?

What did he say?
