WHAT, SOME curious readers have asked, were the Veney raids? I'm older than I'd like to think. At one time, most Baltimoreans knew what the Veney raids were. As those of us in the baby boomer generation get older, we assume those younger know what we know. We assume that events from December 1964 are common knowledge. But they aren't. Sam and Earl Veney robbed a liquor store in December 1964. The two black men also shot two police officers, killing one. They were caught and convicted.

Her son, who was sitting in a front safety seat at the time, was not injured, police said. The minivan was driven by a 17-year-old Columbia girl who was not injured and whose name was not disclosed because she is a minor, police said.

Oct. 30, 1997, was a long work day for Cassandra Veney.

The last thing she wanted to do was drive an hour to the event and then face the hour drive home to Bloomington, Ill. -- though she was sure the evening would be illuminating.
