I would see him around often, and he came into the store all the time to buy packs of Pall Malls. One time I told him that I enjoyed his writing, and he looked at me and said, "yeah, well I enjoy smoking."

The "Freeway Killer" William G Bonin executed at San Quentin. For his last meal he chose two pepperoni and sausage pizzas, three coffee ice creams, and fifteen cans of Coca Cola totalling a rather unhealthy 6391 calories.I remember this guy.
