An incident recalled by a former Edenton resident:
“A friend had a son in Little Rascals but wouldn’t let him participate in the ‘hunt.’ She shielded him, as best she could, and didn’t interrogate him.
“Years later, when Bob Kelly was released, she thought it best to tell the son herself. He exploded in anger. Alarmed and filled with trepidation, she asked just what Mr. Bob had done to cause such a reaction.
“The child’s answer: Bob hadn’t let him put ketchup on his peanut butter sandwich.”
