The Circle Road

And the path of decision. That's our story, The Circle Road, Taken from the files of John Steele, Adventurer. This is John Steele. We're back to bring you another story of intense emotional conflict. This week I have as my guest Eddie Garde.

Now, Eddie's story actually happened two or three years ago. But the way things are today, it might do us all so good if we sat down on it just remembering. us all so good if we sat down and just remembered. I was never formally introduced to Eddie. He just stepped out of the night on a lonely station platform and started talking to me. There was

something about him that impressed me. Well, I followed up on him and he used to tell you about it himself. I think you'll be interested. Eddie, some guys when they got their discharge papers had an oil plan what they're going to do. All the months they'd been sitting in foxholes or rotten in a jungle they'd plan what they're going to do when they got back

and got out. Open a business, get married, buy a house, all the other stuff you heard a hundred times. Well, I had something I was going to do, but it was none of them. I was going to look up my buddy Al Corey.

I was a long time getting out because of the hospital and the docs wanted to keep me around for a while to be sure I was all right. But when they did give me the papers, I took the first train up to Plainview. When I got off, I asked a guy sit in the car where the Corey's lived and he offered to drive me over. That was the longest part of the five years.
