You will find an article about Fullerton's involvement in KKK in
"Fullerton's First 100 Years" at

ww.rootsweb.com/~nenance/ff100y/ffoyp018.html#p22

Most of it is quote from: "The Fellowship Forum (National Fraternal
Weekly of the Ku Klux Klan), July 21, 1928." We understand that there
are folks that still resent having this article appear "in our history".

As Pam said "History is history", and Mr. Bassett felt it should be
included. Perhaps an example of ...if we don't know the past we are
doomed to relive it's errors?
