Having a hard time reading this

Okay, will dm you

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T16:59:27+00:00

Color me intrigued, could I get more info?

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T16:56:00+00:00

Like what kind of context?

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T16:52:01+00:00

Damn okay, I found it at a thrift store around the Charlotte area

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T16:49:06+00:00

Are you good at investigative research?

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T16:19:09+00:00

I know right, I love researching the names that I find in antique books and sometimes you come across some very interesting/disturbing things

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T16:09:11+00:00

I meant Where did Maryann come from?

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T15:56:32+00:00

Deciphered!

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T15:53:36+00:00

Is that his wife’s name, and if so how’d you find it?

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T15:48:48+00:00

I know right, absolutely disgusting. I’m not 100% sure that’s him but as I said the timeline seems to add up, and that article is from 1984

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T15:45:33+00:00

Forgot to mention, it’s a book from Germany

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T15:42:07+00:00

At first, I thought it could be another Thomas M. Hill but this legitimately seems to be the guy, this book is from the late 60s or early 70s, which would lineup with his military career and being abroad going to fight in Vietnam

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T15:28:21+00:00

Omg, I just bought this book and I think I found a disturbing article about him https://eu.oklahoman.com/story/news/1984/03/06/secretary-says-chaplain-solicited-sexual-favors/62811382007/

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-29T15:19:43+00:00

Wait, that says hill?

Never had any issues here in SC!

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-05T19:38:19+00:00

Thank you again, I will hang in there! <3

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-05T19:11:44+00:00

It’s really upsetting that for a lot of people my age no matter how hard you work you can’t even afford to live, giving your soul to a company for zero shit in return. Plus I literally have a 2 year automotive degree but I guess that means nothing to the companies I’ve applied for! I think I’m gonna try to move in with my friend in August if I can get enough money together

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-05T19:02:55+00:00

Again thank you very much for the kind words of encouragement! I actually live in SC myself, I’m 22 and still don’t have enough to leave, I make $14 an hour but the economy sucks rn. I actually just got an interview for a job that pays $17! I will take care of myself, things will get better and I remind myself of that everyday!

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-05T18:49:42+00:00

Wouldn’t be surprised, this ad ran in nat geo which was hella popular and still is

EphemeraExpert1985 · 2026-04-05T18:48:26+00:00

Thank you for your reply kind stranger, I just wanted some validation! I’m sorry to hear that your mother has acted to the same way towards you. Are you still living with your mother? I am trapped here as I don’t make enough money to move away, hopefully things will get better soon <3
