Part 2 Muhammad Ali. Hunter S. Thompson. Penny Bandy. Name a fighter, a writer, and a 2-nighter. HI-YO! YES! Youve read the story about Charles L. Buchanan driving his Chevy from Elkins West Virginia to Bennington to stay at the Putnam Hotel one night in the summer of 68, and now Kulk is sniffing around the Internet trying to find information about Penny Bandy. Unless its Perry Bandy. But its most likely Penny Bandy. Penny Band drove from Louisville Kentucky -- birthplace of Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) and Hunter Thompson -- and arrived in town the same day as Charles L. Buchanan. She checked into the Putnam 141 minutes before Charles, and the clerk slotted her into Room 19 at the rate of 13 bucks a night. She and another person (the registration card doesnt give a name or gender) stayed 2 nights and paid $27.04 upon checking out on August 1, 1968. Charles paid $7 to stay in Room 62, which must have been a single. Bossman showed Kulk the original floor plan of the Putnam and he remembers that some rooms were larger than others, hence the 13 bucks. The registration card shows Pennys license plate number but not the make of car. She lived at 3019 South 6th Street, Louisville Kentucky. Kulk went down rabbit holes for a while today and kept making wrong turns at Albuquerque because he couldnt find anything on Penny Bandy though he spent the first 20 minutes looking for Perry Bandy because as you can see by her writing the rr looks like nn and that reminded Kulk of a friend in Jersey by the name of Dan Toto and his saga with 3 humps to the M but thats a whole other story. Kulk found links for Penny Bandy and made a call. Good afternoon, Floyd County Planning Commission, this is Penny, how can I help you? Is this Penny Bandy? It ... might ... be ... This is going to sound strange ... and then Kulk went through the whole rigmarole, and Penny Bandy eased up and joined him deep in the rabbit hole; they were nowhere near Pismo Beach. This Penny Bandy said she knows of a Penny Bandy down in Florida and Kulk said that its kind of interesting because Bandy isnt such a common name let alone the existence of 2 Penny Bandys. Even more interesting is that the family of Florida Penny Bandy came from Indiana just the Penny Bandy Kulk was talking to on the phone. Even more interesting than that is Floyd County Indiana is only 20 minutes or so from Louisville Kentucky. Louisville to Bennington is about 13 hours by car. Must have been quiet today because she continued to play along. Shes the 1st deputy of the planning commission. What do you do as 1st deputy? I issue building permits and verify zoning ... handle variances and things like sub-divisions and she said a few other things but Kulk didnt write them down. He was more amused by what she might have been thinking while rattling off her job duties to a stranger from Vermont -- and whys he calling me again? (to be continued ... )
