The independent ticket of Ben Howard Brenneman and Michael Owen Childress, both of North Garden, Va., filed with the FEC in early November 1987. That appears to be when their campaign began and also ended. If either of you guys are still out there, drop me a line and tell me about your 1988 run.

Intriguingly I have a Revolutionary War veteran ancestor from Virginia with the Childress surname.
He migrated to Kentucky after his service to the Patriot cause.
