Great stories 'Dough.Thanks Frank. It's nice to hear stories like that. I've often wondered during that time, whether threats were made to folks that we DIDN'T hear about. I can imagine the HUAC getting info about someone that had nothing to do with "communist sympathising" and threatening to use it.
Did you hear the one about Lee Hays? Apparently they got the "wrong" Lee Hays, and it kept him from having to make his "visit" for a long while. The same book says they coudn't even "find" Ronnie Gilbert 'cause that wasn't her married name.
