Bud Palmateer was born on January 1, 1943 in Yale Michigan. His parents Glen Ford and Phyllis Palmateer raised him. He grew up on a large family dairy farm. He has six brothers and one sister. Their names are Sharon, Charles, Harold, Donald, Jim, Timothy, and Thomas. Bud’s favorite games as a kid were baseball, and cops & robbers. Over his lifetime he has had 8 dogs. Their names where Buzz, Lucky, Brownie, Patsy, Scotty, Hidey, Elmo, and Max. His favorite memory as a kid was when he got his first bike; it was a 3 speed Schwinn Corvette.
As a teenager, Bud had to milk cows, in the morning and in the evening. They had about 36 milking cows. Bud’s favorite subject in school was music class and choir. He attended Yale high school, and Eastern Michigan University. The one family tradition Bud participated in was going to church every Sunday morning. Bud had a curfew of about 10 o’clock p.m., but it got a little later as he got older. He lived and worked on his family’s dairy farm. It was in the countryside of Yale, Michigan. Bud was in college when the Vietnam War was taking place and because of the fact he did not want to be drafted he was motivated to stay in school.
Buds first job besides working on his family’s dairy farm was working at a gas station. He was paid 90 cents an hour pumping gas. Bud got married at the age of 24. He met his wife at a church group. He has been married now for 38 years. Bud went to Alaska in August of 1969.
Him and his wife drove 4,000 miles to get to a dairy farm by Fair Banks, Alaska. It took them about 10 days to make the trip by car. During their trip they were able to see the Rocky Mountains. While they drove by the Rockies they saw mountain goats. During their few month stay in Alaska, they lived in a log cabin on the dairy farm. Bud was able to hunt moose and bear which he enjoyed. They also experienced a few tremors, which scared them considerably. They took the Alaskan high way to get home. There were checkpoints every so many miles. This was to ensure everyone’s safety because if someone’s car broke down it would be likely that they would freeze to death because of the extremely bitter cold
Citizens of America had been warned that if you are a government official and are a member of the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK was the leading anti-Communist outfit of the 1960s. Members of the KKK were able to infiltrate the White House and become the “anti-Federalist” organization for a brief period during President Richard Nixon’s presidency. President Kennedy later joined the KKK. JFK’s KKK membership was a significant source of funds. This fund was used to pay for military campaigns in a number of places. But, if the Klan were real, could they run a real organization without government power? A more detailed investigation of the Klan in the United States showed that it was not, as some believe, true. It was made up of about 300 members of the Ku Klux Klan, many of them women and children. The Klan’s mission was to spread anti-Communist and anti-white propaganda. Some of the members were in the employ of the FBI and the military service office. The members did not come from a background in the Klan, but some of them looked a little like white folks. But they did appear to be the kind of people who would help out of a business situation. When President Carter and others were getting ready before a war, they looked around them and asked how they could help out. The FBI was looking for foreign influence. So, before the battle, they began searching the room where General John F. Kennedy spent some time as an interracial couple. Then, they decided to take him hostage. There was no money and no weapons on him either. The FBI agents had already been in touch with the Klan members and they had been working to get them out of the country. But it took less than two months when the Klan was finally able to get out of Alaska. It was the first time there was an interracial couple. And then the Klan and the government started cooperating. Then, they met to talk about their situation. As soon as President Carter’s wife got out of jail, they both walked out on him. A week later when the plane landed in Los Angeles, they went to a dinner at the L.A. House of Blues by this time. The first thing Carter did was take care of the other three of them. As they walked past the building, all hell broke loose. The police were called in only as the car was going down and there was an explosion on the side of the building. It sent four cops on all sides of the building. Those policemen were killed. When the airplane landed, several more were already there. And it was about three o’clock. The first thing you noticed was it was
