Someday you may hear it and you will say, “that’s him!”
No, long after I left there it occurred to me how unique that was and I did try to get some of the old crowd to get his real name but they were all dead, in prison, or too far gone in drinking, to be able to pull that off, and I also did some looking on the internet trying to put it together but didn’t recognize any of the names.
I have thought about calling a local newspaper there and seeing if a reporter could find the article although I don’t know if the paper was from the city or one of the outlying areas, although the article was from the region I don’t remember if he grew up locally or moved to Minneapolis later in life.
