Pat Hines Kroger Retiree October 20, 2012
Bob and I worked together at The Kroger Distribution Center in East Peoria in the late 60's.  He was a wonderful boss and friend.  It saddens Bill and me to hear he is no longer with us.

Ronald Belville My Dad and Step Mother were MONSTERS June 2, 2013
I was taken when I was about 4 years old from my mother on a supposed vacation. I was then told the lady I thought was my mother wasn't and Judie was. I would awake nightly regurgatating all over myself after dreaming of my real mother. I was beaten daily, and forced to play with Jill (Judies adopted daughter) and not allowed to play with my brother or her son. My mother finally found me and I left. I would come on vacations and would get beat if I spoke of her. My father once held me off the top of a parking garage threatening to drop me. He thought it was funny to watch me cry --- I did not know how to tell my mother. I did not want to be abused by them -  I was basically disowned.
