Well, that tracks.

I mean, that's where a lot of young men in particular have a psychotic break.

But do you remember during that time, were you still talking to your parents by phone?

Were you maintaining normal relationships in your life?

No, you weren't on any medications back then.

Right, because now there's a duty for a psychiatrist to warn if he thinks a patient might actually hurt a third party.

So clearly that wasn't the case from the sound of it.

My understanding is you didn't settle on Ronald Reagan right away.

How'd that go?

Now, I read that in October of 1980, you were arrested at the Nashville International Airport after three pistols were discovered in your suitcase on the same day that President Carter visited the city.

My note to myself reads, how was he free?

I mean, I would think that's the kind of thing that could get you locked up for a long time, given that the president's coming there the same day.

Wow.

That was October 1980.

The assassination attempt with President Reagan was March 1981.
