I thought her brother was stabbed at the Campus Drive in on El Cajon Blvd. The story I heard is that the O’Connor brother attacked a guy with a knife. I heard that the victim of the attack acted in self defense and O’Connor was stabbed with his own knife and there was no prosecution. I had the misfortune of meeting some of the other dirt bag brothers at the Lamplighter Bar in Mission Hills years ago. I never went back there again.
You bring up some good stories that Helen Copley never published.
I think you’re right: stabbed. I was very young. Denny was the one in the wrong. The entire O’Connor family are trash. They lived next door to friends of my parents on Dove Street. Robert Peterson was my Dad’s nephew but only separated by ten years in age. They grew up together in Coronado. Our whole family was very close. Bob’s kids are my age and we’re close.
Thankfully, Copley’s lecherous fag son is dead, now, too.
Maureen was such a fraud at his funeral. Surrounded by nuns. Our family standing on one side together. Hers on the other. It was a circus. Held at Ft. Rosecrans. I don’t think she even spoke to Bob’s only brother and I should know, because he was with me the whole time. What a witch.
