He was not impressed with Trotski's guards and their handling of the first attack. He took off from the southern Indiana farm where he was living with his parents and several brothers and sisters, looking for a new life with more action and adventure than he saw at home. He was a fairly good marksman, but the next attack was very different from the first. He stayed on a couple of years after Trotski's death to guard Natalia. While there he fell hard for Esperanza Lopez Mateos the sister of Adolfo, who was to become president of Mexico. She broke his heart and finally he went back to the US and was conscripted into the army, to fight in World War II. Henry lived to ninety nine, telling his stories to young interested listeners. He was quite a pack rat and finally one of his favorite listeners, Terry Priest, went through Henry's hord. Most of Henry's papers had been shoveled in bags and hauled to the dump, but Terry Priest was able to sift through what was left and find some wonderful fragments of a long life.

If something is sacred to yourself does not mean you have to lock it up in the safe. Maybe by using it daily by not only reading but using it for things that are important to you it shows more of an appreciation. On the other hand maybe she just kept the bible since it was from her father and referred to it to appeal to more people and did not care about it too much herself.
