What a lot of us found strange though and this happened before the internet so the jungle wire was our way of communicating was that strange people were apparently going around the main area with a bit of paper and a picture on it of some sort of switch that they were very interested in finding.
How did they know about that unless they had something to do with it and they claimed to be FBI.
Don't even know if Anne has been laid to rest yet? Bless her..🙏
We patriots will not forget you Ann..🇬🇧
