identify him from the past he con-

Romaine appeared in Thunder

a name from his past, and 1t was
never known whether that was his
own. Each Monday thereafter
until his death he walked to the
Savannah post Office and received
n letter. He never told whence
his letters came, nor from whom.
and he was at great pains to
destroy all trace Of them. No one
remembers having heard him
mention his past or his family. or
