Yes. It's true. One month before John Wayne Gacy's crawlspace cemetery was revealed my dad played a couple rounds of pool with him at a business party in the Chicago area in November 1978.
My mother was 9 months pregnant with my brother and she was feeling miserable because my dad made her go with. She sat off to the side watching my dad play and Gacy gave her the creeps. Maybe he was attracted to my dad? He was young, good looking and was the man's man John Wayne type.
My dad told me Gacy was a fat-ass loudmouth. Basically the scene was two men trying to impress each other. Gacy went on and on about his credentials, his businesses his political connections. He bragged that he knew the first lady Rosalynn Carter. He knew everything and everyone in town. After my dad whipped him in pool he walked off to get another beer and that was the last of the evening.
One month later, my parents were watching the news and Gacy's picture was splashed all over the screen.
THAT'S THE GUY FROM THE PARTY!
