Been reading @stephenking.bsky.social book The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Excellent book! Weird thing is it hit hard on a vague memory of my dad taking me to Roan Mountain in 1983 around the time of a rhododendron festival and an 8 year old boy went missing for about a week…

I was at Roan Mountain during that media spectacle for other reason. I think I was around 15. Anyway here is Reel himself decades later. I wonder if he read King’s book though it may have been too on the nose: youtu.be/HoCE_Oo1nrE

The overlap is compelling to me because my own memories of Reel’s disappearance. Reading King’s book inspired me to search for corroboration of that vague memory of Roan Mountain and a search for a missing boy in 1983.
