3/30/1981 page 6 by ric Gustafson


It was March 7 1981. John Hinckley Jr had just gotten off a United Airlines flight from New York. He was upset because Jodie Foster had just rejected his romantic advances again. His father Jack Hinckley was waiting for him. His mother had stayed home. His father was frustrated because his son had quit a new job to fly to New York.
A plan with a psychologist was forged to try to help his son. They were going to give him until March 30th to find a job and find a new place to live. So far his son had not accomplished either one successfully. When his son landed at the airport, his father knew what he had to do. He gave his son two hundred dollars and told him that he was on his own from now on.
At the same time, President Ronald Reagan was visiting the Marine Corps Base at Quantico.
On March 25 1981, John Hinckley Jr boarded a flight for California. In his luggage was a RG-14 22 caliber Saturday Night Special.
