CLINT UPDATE
No news from Carter’s this week yet, but it is still early afternoon on Wednesday. I was on the phone with him yesterday and there was a guy down at the shop that used to know Clint. Not well the way that George and Mike know him…but he knows who Clint is. Carter asked him if he had seen Clint recently or knew what was going on with him and the guy said that he hadn’t seen him in awhile.
We’re still hoping that George will go down this week.
In another realm, a message was posted this morning on the Black Broom listserv (the listserv for the pagan store Clint told me about when we met)…it was from a guy who said that he had been “outta town for several months” and was wondering where and when the Black Broom moved (the store moved to a new location about a month and a half ago)…I almost disregarded the message and deleted it...I know where the Black Broom is now, afterall, and don’t need this information…but I stopped when I saw the name of the man…Cliff…
From our search calling all the mechanics in the beginning of our story (before we found Carter’s and stopped making our calls)…many of the people who answered our calls…thought we were saying Cliff…and they would ask us to repeat the name…I know that these two names sound very similar…Cliff is probably just as uncommon a name as Clint…and there is clearly a Cliff who shops at this bookstore…is it possible that this is the man that I met?? Could I have misheard him?? Is it possible his name is Clifford and sometimes he goes by Cliff and sometimes he goes by Clint? The names are so similar sounding…
Anything is possible at this point…I have this man’s email address now…I suppose it doesn’t hurt to email him and ask him if he is from Tennessee…wouldn’t that be ironic??
I already spoke with Carter today regarding this matter…he said that he is certain the guy at his shop goes by Clint…but he also said that it is possible this is the same person…he could go by both names…people have strange variations on their names that they sometimes use in different circumstances…
Updates will follow…
