I've been there. (Who'd have wanted to be married to Elinore anyway?)
I would agree, but these days...half the articles in newspapers are that way. Journalism in college isn’t much to brag about.
While reading the Baltocbs.com story, I noticed an ad for “Gino’s” hamburgers, etc.
Man, does that bring back memories from the 60’s. We had BurgerChef, Harley’s Steak and Cheese (with onions), Gino’s and AMECHE’S with its drive-in speaker service and the special Ameche sauce on a double beef patty. Now that was good food.
In the early 1960’s, our boys club had Gino Marchetti come to speak to us (as had Johnny U and Art Donovan). I was chosen to escort him into the school (#64) where we held our meetings.
Gino, looking good as always, comes up to the school in his Cadillac convertible, top down, with his beautiful wife (long blonde hair) and his even more beautiful daughter, also with long sandy-colored hair.
I got to escort Mr. Marchetti to the meeting, but I was really saddened to see his wife and daughter drive away as I was going to invite them to come in too.
So close it hurt!!!!!
PS: I have to copies of the Colts team photo from 1957, an ad for Ameche’s drive-in, Johnny U’s autograph, and the guide book for bowling at Johnny’s lanes.
One of our friends at City (Class 62), Alex Spassoff, was the son of the trainer of the championship Colts. After school he would head over to Memorial Station, a couple hundred yards away, and wait for his father to finish work so that they could go home together.
Alex, I hope you kept you autograph collection and that fabulous White and Blue Colts leather jacket.
Those were the days!
Spleen removal should be a capital crime.
More corruption of the English language to obfuscate what happened.
The officer referenced shot Nick Romano. Simple statement of fact. To say the officer "discharged" makes it sound like he loaded his pants on-scene. Although, maybe he did that, too.
Obviously there was no reason to remove his spleen; there never is, but they always do it.
Even if damaged, spleens heal within hours usually.

Neither. - the surgeon is evil and greedy. there is never a reason to remove a spleen.
Is anyone surprised that shooting a shotgun in the backyard of rowhouses in a major city is going to attract the police?
Hard to square that with an entrance wound to the chest and an exit wound to the back.
My guess is that he was shot from above while trying to comply with instructions to get on the ground.
Hey I’ve always wanted to be a “journalist”!

Or he was shot more than once.
The surprise is that SWAT did not come crashing in with tanks and helos................
Article also states that 4 bullet holes were found in the back yard.
I’ve fired at the ground before. Unless it’s a slug in moss, you’re not gonna find that hole.
Absolutely!
I think you meant Teddy. Eleanor was married to Franklin.
Frankly, I am amazed that any of them passed English Composition, much less got a degree in journalism.
‘APB: private citizen with a gun—shoot him!
Odd, we don’t feel compelled to shoot cops.
