Mr. Parker researched this event more thoroughly than other author. He spent 25 years gaining the trust of a very closed community in Bath as they recoiled from the constant stream of gawkers (numbering in the thousands) who caused traffic jams back into Lansing as they drove through the town in the days after the explosion, (Imagine this much traffic in 1927 in rural Michigan). The school system STILL receives bomb threats as recently as 4 years ago (by a mom who didn't want to take her child to school) Into the 1980's EVERY phone call was recorded (my wife was a teacher there). Grant shinned a light on the selfishness and anger that the killer used to spend 6 months planting dynamite and charges under the school. It took SO long that only half the TNT exploded. The other half of the wires had rusted. Had it ALL gone off, there would be no Bath, MI. Andrew Keho, the murderer said, "Criminals are made, not born'.
